Simchas Chosson

Someone once asked Rav Chaim Kniyevsky if there is a mitzva for a chosson to be mesameach ... himself [or the kallah herself]?

He answered that on the pasuk that teaches that there is a mitzva to redeem one's relative who was sold as an עבד there is a מחלוקת in מסכת עבדים [did you learn it recently??:-)] whether this applies to the עבד himself. One opinion states that if it is a mitzva for others to redeem the עבד it is certainly a mitzva for himself to redeem himself. The other opinion differs and claims that it is not.

The same מחלוקת would apply here.

I can see a חילוק but I am sure that Rav Chaim saw the same חילוק....

But apparently it is simple that the chosson and kallah have a mitzva to be mesameach each other. People don't usually think about that...
