About The Three Weeks and the Nine Days
The Three Weeks begin with the fast of the 17th of Tammuz, when the walls of Jerusalem were breached, and end with Tisha B'Av, when the Temples were destroyed. Observant Jews hold no weddings in the whole period, and add further restraint in the Nine Days from the first of Av, when meat and wine are avoided. The days after Tisha B'Av, up to Tu B'Av, begin the wedding season of the late summer.
