🇬🇧🇪🇸 bridegroom - novio : English Lesson
noun
“Oops, the video you wanted took a vacation. Here’s a random one that didn’t!”
Meaning of "bridegroom" ("novio"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A bridegroom is a man on his wedding day. He is the person who is marrying the bride. Before the wedding starts, people may call him the bridegroom, and right after the wedding, he is still called the bridegroom for a little while until everyone just calls him a husband. At the wedding, the bridegroom usually dresses up very nicely, stands at the front, and waits for the bride to walk down the aisle so they can promise to love and take care of each other.
The bridegroom tried to be romantic, but his stomach growled louder than the love music.
The bridegroom promised to share everything, even the last slice of pizza, and everyone gasped at such profound devotion.
The bridegroom was so nervous that he practiced saying “I do” to his toaster at breakfast.
The bridegroom was so excited that he accidentally hugged the cake instead of his new wife.
In some places, a bridegroom is also called a “groom,” but no matter what you call him, he still has to remember not to lose the ring!
The bridegroom steadied his shaking hands, sliding the ring onto the bride's finger. A hush, then laughter as the bridegroom smiled, then the bridegroom bowed to her father. The bridegroom wiped a tear; he lifted the veil, kissed her. Guests cheered; the bridegroom beamed, relieved and happy. He whispered, "We did it."
