The rebbe married my parents with all of his sons. My great grandfather was very close to the Rebbe and the Rebetzin. I am attempting to find out about the relationship. I know that my parents often went to the rebetzin after his death for answers to questions that they had. My great-grandfather was David Rosenfeld, and my parents that were married by the Rebbe and his sons in 1938 were Mandel and Eve Rosenfeld
