A wedding reception
I believe that engagement party speeches should be limited to the Fathers (of Bride firstlt, then Groom) and to the Groom and or the Bride or both if they so wish. This occasion is to enjoy the celebration with family and friends and should not be burdened down with too many or too long winded speeches. Ken
The groom is the person who is marrying the bride. Also the groom normally gives a speech after the wedding ceremony during the buffet or meal. They also normally have the first dance with the bride.
the bride and the groom is first, then the bride and her father, and then the groom and his mother. After that the bride dance with her new dad and groom dance with his new mom.
A bride groom is a male. Bride's maids are females.
The opposite gender of groom is bride
Both
bride and groom or horse and groom

The bride and groom can pay for it themselves.
The groom buys the engagement ring and band for his bride to be and the bride to be buys the band for the groom.
The opposite gender of bride is bridegroom, or groom.
The groom should buy the engagement and wedding ring for his bride to be and the bride to be should buy the groom's wedding band.
