“Another potential reason⟳ for leniency is the basic requirement of weddings that the ring⟳ must belong⟳ to the chatan (Shulchan Aruch E.H. 28). In fact, mesadrei kiddushin verify with the chatan that he owns the ring⟳ and did not simply borrow it. If the chatan forgot to bring⟳ the wedding ring⟳, the mesader kiddushin will ensure that the "lender" of a replacement ring⟳ transfers the title of the ring⟳ to the chatan with proper kinyanim (halachic mechanisms of conveyance).”

“Yesterday I traveled from Chicago to New Jersey for the day to attend⟳ an afternoon wedding at a place⟳ called the Venetian in Garfield New Jersey. The Chatan was the son of friends of mine.”
