A bride is a woman who is getting married or has recently married. Traditionally, she wears a special dress, often white, symbolizing purity and new beginnings. The bride typically participates in various wedding customs and rituals, which can vary by culture and religion. A groom is a man who is about to be married or has just married. He usually wears a suit or tuxedo for the ceremony. The groom plays a significant role in the wedding, often standing beside the bride during the vows and celebrations, and is responsible for certain traditions, such as the ring exchange.
