I asked my Rosh Yeshiva about this when I was getting married, as I had always held the first part of the Omer - but for various reasons, right after Pesach was the best time to make the wedding. My Rosh Yeshiva said I should just observe the Aveilus of Sefira from Rosh Chodesh Iyar to the Shloshes Yemei Hagbala instead - and said that no Hataras Nedarim was needed, as it's only needed if one stops a Hanhaga Tova - and observing one part of Sefira is no more "Tov" than the other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
