no. First of all I got married on a date when one is not allowed to fast and secondly in my chasidish circles the girls don't fast even on their wedd day.

I fasted, and guess what they gave us in the yichud room to break our fast?

Pickled herring and stale cream puffs... Puke

At least they remembered my cup of black coffee, though. I was a major caffeine addict then (worse than now) and had a pounding headache.

It was one of the hardest fasts ever. I think it was the stress that was hard, even though it was in winter and was short...

Then again, it was Yud Tes Kislev (Chabad Chag...new year for Chassidus)...Maybe we didn't have to fast after all ? Confused

I fasted and we ate in the Yichud room. Also, after pictures, before dancing, they brought us some food, b'H. It got me through the night because I didn't have time to eat anything at the seudah.

I was told to fast til after chatzos (was a very bad faster then) and thats what I did, but I was so busy that all I barely ate and was so out of energy when it came time to dance I was ready to faint.

Yes. And my husband and I both agree that it was our easiest fasts ever!
Why did the hall only provide some of you with stale cakes and herring in the yichud room. We had tons of fresh fruit, cookies and maybe even some good hot food and salads and some sodas--We got married at Ateres Chynka.

Anyone ever hear that you have to make up the fast if you missed it? Wink

preplanned some nice foods & orange juice for the yichud room ... however I think breaking it was on the wine Drunken Smile under the chuppah ... we got married in front of 770 and the lubavitcher Rebbe just came back from the ohel - so we left the yichud room after about 60 seconds in lieu of the food we received a brocha

anyways I remember washing by the wedding but do not recall eating a thing ...

You know, now that you mention it, I DO remember hearing this.
I got married on Rosh Chodesh, so didn't fast, but I can't remember if we had to make it up or not. I'll go ask my hubby!

No, I was told I didn't have to because I don't fast well.

Dh had to break his fast on water during the afternoon before the wedding because his father took him for a walk in the heat of the day in August in Yershalayim (there was a reason, but dh was bitter about it for a long time, he might still be).

I'm a very poor faster, so fasted till a few minutes before kabalas panim, but then I felt that I'm going to faint and can't receive the guest in such a state, so my father gave me something to drink. I felt much better after that glass of water!
