man on his wedding day
A man who is getting married, especially on his wedding day.
Vzorec užití:
the bridegroom and [the bride]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "bridegroom" with "groom" meaning "a person who takes care of horses". In weddings, both "bridegroom" and "groom" mean a man who is getting married. Another mistake is using "bridegroom" for a woman; the correct word for a woman is "bride".
Synonyma
groom (More common and slightly less formal; often used instead of "bridegroom" in everyday speech.)
|
newlywed husband (Emphasizes that the man is already married and focuses on the time just after the wedding, not the ceremony itself.)
Antonyma
bride (Refers to the woman getting married; it is the gender counterpart rather than a true opposite, but contrasts with the male role of "bridegroom".)
