A female bride is called......a bride. If there is another kind of bride other than female, this contributor is unaware of it.

With his bride.
A bride's bottom drawer collection is called her providan.
A bride is female. The man who is married to the bride is called a bridegroom. In the case of a lesbian wedding, I believe they are both called brides.
The male counterpart to the bride is called the groom.
John the Baptist was a forerunner sent to announce the coming of the Savior. He was not called to follow Jesus literally but to make Jesus' bride ready for Jesus.The forerunner in ancient Hebrew wedding customs was the friend of the bride groom, he ran ahead of the bridegroom when the bridegroom's father told him it was ok to go and get his bride, then the forerunner would go ahead of the bridegroom and announce to the bride that her bridegroom was coming, if the forerunner followed the bridegroom then the bride would not be able to make herself ready.Jesus is our the bridegroom and the church is the bride, God designates certain people to be forerunners and announce the coming of the bridegroom. John didn't follow Jesus because he was called to make the bride (or believers in Jesus) ready or prepared with repentance to receive Jesus.Jesus talked about new wine in old wineskins, what John did was call people to repentance which made new wineskins for Jesus (the new wine) to be able to be poured into and not burst.
Groom
To welcome guests it is called a 'Receiving line' and the bride; groom; parents of the bride and groom; maid of honor; bridesmaids; best man and ushers are also lined up in the Receiving Line. Guests file by and congratulate the happy couple. Most couples simply have the MC thank everyone for coming or the bride and groom can stand up and thank everyone for coming (naming those that had to take a long trip to get to the wedding) and raise their glasses to the guests.
Beautiful Bride is about the body of Christ - Christians of the world. It's about us coming together, being there for each other, and fighting against evil
