bride and groom

Altar's central pair

A bride and groom are the two people getting married, specifically the woman (bride) and man (groom) at their wedding ceremony.

The phrase typically refers to the couple on their wedding day or during the celebration: The bride and groom cut the cake together.

In same-sex marriages, the terms may be adapted or replaced with "two brides" or "two grooms."
