Is it permissible to display pictures of the bride and groom at their different ages on a large screen in the women's hall only, at an Islamic wedding where legitimate controls are met, such as segregation and the absence of musical instruments?

Perhaps the correct view is to prohibit this action, because it will lead to women looking at this man. While the issue of women looking at men is a matter of scholarly disagreement, if looking is likely to cause temptation (fitnah) or arouse desire, then it is prohibited. And women present looking at this groom, whether on screen or directly, while he is in his full adornment and on his wedding day, is likely to cause temptation with him. Therefore, this action should be prohibited.
