Who shall bless them?
When the כלה walks around the חתן seven times, under the חופה, the Chazzan/singer sings the Piyut of "מי בן שיח שושן חוחים -- הוא יברך את החתן ואת הכלה"
"The one who understands the talk of the Rose Among the Thorns-- He shall bless the חתן & כלה"
Who is this person that the פייטן is referring to?
The 'מדרש רבה שה"ש ב, explains the words כשושנה בין החוחים using a variety of examples.
🌹 One example the מדרש uses is when there are 10 people at a wedding and only one knows the ברכת החתן he is the one who is the שושנה בין החוחים Rose among thorns.
The Piyut of מי בן שיח refers to the רב the מסדר קידושין who understands* the ברכת החתן. The one the מדרש refers to as the rose. He is asked to step forward and bless the חתן וכלה - to be מסדר קידושין with the ברכת חתנים.
*כל מי שאינו בקי בטיב גיטין וקידושין לא יהא לו עסק עמהם
'שו"ע אבן העזר מ"ט ג
