Why by weddings does the Chasson wear a raincoat over his Kittel?
Is it because they don’t want to mess up the picture?

If you have a question about your minhag, ask your father or someone who has told you what your minhagim are.

Very curious because no one provided me an answer when I asked around. What is more curious is that when a kever of someone from Moroccan stock is visited (after the week, shloshim, year), a relative of the deceased spreads a raincoat (though not exclusively black) over the grave.

I don’t know. I didn’t wear a raincoat over my kittel.
