Chol HaMoed Laws

Celebration of Joyful Events...
This is the real stuff...

The Principle of "we may not intermingle one Joyous occasion with another" teaches us that we should not be celebrating simultaneously two major joyful occasions; simply because they would interfere or distract with or from one another.

Okay.

So: we may not get married on Chol HaMoed. It would distract from the festival (the festival was 'in place' before you set your wedding date). Or the festival may distract you from the joy and festivities of the wedding. It does not even matter if the woman was previously married or not.

AH.
But you are permitted to remay your divorcee on Chol HaMoed......since the joy is not at great as that of taking a new wife!!!!!

You had better check with your rabbi, or other local authority though because you may or you may not be able to serve a meal after the wedding (you can do that on the following day however. I guess the joy is not as great on the second date).

And what other prohibitions may be in place following this wedding, we will not even consider!

Now That's funny.
