Reply To: Controversy In Israel – Woman says Sheva Brachos

The problem I see is so much halachic. It’s more a metaphysical issue. Can a person bless him (or her) self? The purpose of saying the sheva berachos is for the mevorchim to invoke berachah on the choson/kalah. By doing themselves, the choson/kalah in this case are losing the benefit of birchas hedyot (and not so hedyot).
