Taken from Rav Ovadia's Halacha Yomit Emails:
1. Maran Harav Ovadia Yosef Shlit”a discusses (in his
Responsa Yabia Omer, Volume 3, Orach Chaim, Chapter 27) the Halacha regarding a
child who turns thirteen years old during the Omer period. Since the days he
has counted until this point were counted when he was still a child and not
halachically obligated to perform the Mitzvot like an adult, his status is
similar to one who has not counted the Omer until now and thus does not
continue to count with a blessing on subsequent nights. He speaks lengthily and
brings a great many sources to support his view. The luminaries of the previous
generation debated this matter at length. Nevertheless, halachically speaking,
a child who turns thirteen years old during the Omer should continue to count
on the subsequent night without reciting a blessing.
2. An engagement party marking a match being made,
a.k.a. “Tena’im,” may be held during the period of the counting of the Omer,
even with musical accompaniment. However, regarding an engagement party after
the match was already set and the couple has decided to marry, it is
permissible to hold such a party during these days, albeit without musical
accompaniment.
