And by the way, the practice goes way back to the

The Chuvah Saradvaz already records such a practice.

So the question is, why should this milik be kept?

And then maybe we'll go through some of the reasons that some suggest that maybe the milik should be changed at this time.

And then we'll try to come to some halachic conclusion.

So why to keep this milik?

So the list of Svardik Adolim that insist that Svardim should not have yukla at the wedding is long and impressive.

Rav Ezra Atiyah in the Tshuvos Yaskel Avdi, Chalik Zayin Avnezer Simen Yud, Rav Vadi Yosef in Yechav Adas, Chalik Hei Simen Samach Bez, Rav Ben Sion Abba Shaul is quoted as well, saying the same thing, the Maimor Mordechai, Rav Mordechai Elio in his Tshuvos Maimor Mordechai, Chalik Bez Avnezer Simen Vav, Rav David Halevi in the Tshuvos HaSeil HaRav, Chalik Dal Simen Unhei,

So Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef thinks it's just inappropriate that this is going to be something that's done in such a public way.

Now one could argue on the flip side,
