Q.There was a story about a young kallah who called the Rabbi crying that she just made her chassan a fleshing meal and accidentally put the milchig (silver) spoon into it and was upset that she would have to throw it away. The Rabbi said: "Didn't you just get married? Was the spoon actually used?" Fortunately, it was designated but not actually used so there was no problem with it.
Now I am wondering about the spoon. Is it a minhag not to change an item from fleishig to dairy and vice versa? If so, do we have to follow it? Can she purposely rekasher it?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that in this particular case one may be lenient especially if it involves Sholom Bayt.
