-Married – Casado/s
When people fall in love and stay in love, they eventually decide that it’s a good
idea to get married.
Bride – Novia
The woman who gets married is called a “bride.” The bride often wears a
wedding gown or a wedding dress.
Groom – Novio
The man who gets married is called a “groom.” The groom often wears a tuxedo
or a suit.
The maid of honor is a woman selected by the bride to assist in the wedding
ceremony and help the bride.
The best man is a man selected by the groom to assist in the wedding
ceremony and help the groom.
The women who stand up in support of the bride are the bridesmaids.
Las mujeres que van de parte de la novia son sus damas de honor.
Bridesmaids wear matching dresses, but their dresses look different from the
wedding gown worn by the bride. The bride wears white while the bridesmaids
wear something other than white.
Tuxedo – Esmoquin
The groom, the best man, and the other men standing up at the wedding (the
groomsmen) wear a tuxedo.
Church – Iglesia
Many people get married inside a church. It’s also very common to get married
outside of a church, in a public building or outside in the fresh air.
Before the wedding ceremony begins, sometimes the bride or the groom begins
to have second thoughts about getting married. In this case, we say the person
has “cold feet.”
It’s a tradition for the the bride to throw a bouquet over her shoulder towards
unmarried women. Whoever catches the bouquet it’s said to be the next woman
to get married.
When the groom and the bride leave the wedding ceremony, they drive off
together as a “just married” couple.
