Additionally, you can’t have a mixed wedding only for the 18 – 23 year olds whilst excluding the 13 – 16 year olds from mixing as well.
Why not?
I was just at a wedding where family was seperated, and only the couples friends were mixed.
And Helpful, yes, someone who is going to transgress halacha after meeting someone at a wedding will transgress halacha after meeting someone on a blind date.
Perhaps getting over some of our research and meeting the person may make for happy marriages that may or may not have happened anyway. I think all our research does more harm than good.
