“Guarding” Bride and Groom


Question:

What is the source of the bride and groom having shomrim (someone accompanying them) the day before the wedding?



AskTheRabbi.org answered:

It is based on the gemara in Berachot 54b that states that six categories of people require “guards” (accompaniers), and a bride and a groom are included in this list of people.
