Thousands of Belzer Chassidim were on hand to spend the Shabbos Aufruf with the Rebbe Shlita ahead of the chasenah on Tuesday night of his oldest grandson. Among the guests were chassidim from all of Eretz Yisrael as well as many thousands from abroad who came to take part in the chasenah.
The Friday night tisch was held outside the main beis medrash in the giant tent that was erected to accommodate the orchim. Seudas shlishis was held in the tent as well and the feirshpeil on motzei Shabbos.
In line with Belzer minhag, the chosson arrived at the rebbe’s home on erev Shabbos escorted by his son, HaRav HaTzaddik Rav Aaron Mordechai Rokeach. The rebbe placed the chosson’s shtreimal on his head.

I think the last paragraph should read: “In line with Belzer minhag, the chosson arrived at the rebbe’s home on erev Shabbos escorted by his father, HaRav HaTzaddik Rav Aaron Mordechai Rokeach.”
Agree with No.1….Rav Aron Morechai is the son of Rav Yissachar Dov shlita…the chosson obviously doesn’t yet have any children.
