Gniezno/Gnesen
Gnesen, 1645: A wedding was arranged at the fair.
The reason behind this wedding in the days of Sefirah is as follows. The couple to get married was a widow and a widower, and they were supposed to get married on Lag BaOmer, but the widower fell ill. They couldnβt push off the wedding after Yomtov for various reasons, therefore, Rabbi Chanoch Darshan of Gnesen [Gniezno, Poland], allowed this marriage to take place on 21 Iyar, 36th of the sefirah.
