A brother tells me that the reason people make fun of the chasan during this time is because people are jealous. So they make fun of the chasan to prevent the ayin hara.
Is this the real reason?

Need I say more?
March 19, 2013 5:35 pm at 5:35 pm #938860🐵 ⌨ GamanitParticipantI’m chassidish and I’ve been to many sheva brachos. I’ve never heard anything but praise for the chassan, kallah and their respective families. Sometimes humorous anecdotes are mentioned, but never anything to bring down the chassan.

March 19, 2013 7:02 pm at 7:02 pm #938862Torah613TorahParticipantI never heard anyone do this either, but I’m on the ladies’ side, maybe I missed it.
achosid – sorry I don’t know where chassidim come in here either.

The speakers whisper so low that those on the other side of the mechitza cannot hear them? What made you think the men were cracking jokes at the expense of the choson?
March 19, 2013 10:53 pm at 10:53 pm #938864Torah613TorahParticipantabracadabra: We’re usually talking… and most of the vorts/lchaims etc that I attend are not in halls, they’re in homes. And I only come for a few minutes. It’s entirely possible I missed something like this.
Besides there are enough references to it that it must happen.
