In the morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Avrohom Leib Landau, where the Rebbe served as mohel and sandek.

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal of the Mesivta, Kedushas Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
The bochur Nosson Karpel Margulies.
The bochur Yoel Zevel.

The Rebbe proceeded to Hallel, and during the Torah reading was called up as the fourth aliyah. After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room, where a pleasant conversation developed with HaGaon Av Beis Din of Ohel Moshe shlit"a of Vienna, a grandfather of one of the bar mitzvah bochurim.

At around 5:30 the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a entered the Chadar Shmuel Chaim in the main beis medrash for Mincha. After Mincha, the entire kehilla, old and young, went over to receive a bracha from the Rebbe shlit"a on the day of the chuppah.

The Rebbe shlit"a entered the kabbalas panim in the heichal of the beis medrash at around 6:00. During the kabbalas panim, warm, inspiring melodies were sung, and the badchan, the avreich R' Shimon Esterreicher, performed with words of rebuke and enumerated the great yichus of the chassan and kallah.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the chassan, the mechutanim, the grandfathers, and the entire gathering well, and then delivered warm holy words arousing the merit of the forefathers, saying that through the chassan's fast on the day of the chuppah and then the dancing, the forces of evil are subdued and one merits all good, and he concluded with abundant blessings.

The kesuba was arranged. The witnesses to the kesuba were: HaRav R' Yaakov Moshe Goldberger and HaRav R' Elimelech Reich. Afterwards, everyone proceeded to the badeken in the halls of Keren V'Yoel Moshe.

After the chuppah, the Rebbe shlit"a wished holy blessings to the entire gathering, and then broke out in a mitzvah dance with the grandfathers and rabbanim shlit"a.

A few minutes after the chuppah, at the time of Rabbeinu Tam, around 8:10, the Rebbe davened Maariv in the Chadar Shmuel Chaim in the main beis medrash.
Immediately after Maariv, at 8:25, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a appeared in the heichal of the beis medrash for the wedding seudah. The Rebbe danced for a few minutes on the floor and then washed for the seudah. After the fish, the Rebbe wished a lechayim to the entire assembled crowd.

The first blessings: HaGaon Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park, 15 shlit"a. The final blessing: HaGaon R' Mordechai Greenfeld shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Semihai Antwerp.

The royal badchan, HaRav R' Mordechai Dovid Esterreicher, called the Rebbe shlit"a to the dancing before the kallah with warm rhymes and aroused the merit of the forefathers. The inspiring melodies continued, and the Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the chassan, the mechutanim, the grandfathers, and the huge assembled crowd well.

Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a performed the holy dances before the kallah with fiery enthusiasm for an extended time, and then danced with the chassan, with the mechutan HaGaon Rav of the beis medrash, Barach Moshe shlit"a, and his family, and then continued with the entire royal family, the grandchildren of the holy Rebbe, the Beirach Moshe zy"a, with holy emotion for an extended time.

Then the grandfathers were called to the mitzvah tantz: HaGaon Av Beis Din of Volova shlit"a, HaGaon Av Beis Din of Semihai shlit"a, and the Ratzfert Rebbe shlit"a, as well as the father of the chassan and the father of the kallah shlit"a. In the course of this, the Rebbe danced with each of the grandfathers and mechutanim individually.
The badchan then said words of badchanus and called up the chassan, and they danced Eishes Chayil. On the way out, the Rebbe wished the chassan and kallah well. The Rebbe left the beis medrash at 2:45.
