Inclusive terms?

I would put spouse 1 & 2. I've seen some books that say Partner 1 & 2. You could do either or.

Bride/Groom and Bride/Groom?
Although that could potentially still be an issue for anyone who is non gender conforming.

Oh I like Partner! I'm not sure why Spouse is rubbing me the wrong way. hm. Thanks for the help guys :-)

I’m not following.. I have no idea what you’re talking about- I am so out of the loop LOL
What about name/name?

Lol Hope it's all good. I'm just talking about a product I'm making, this thing that'll make a custom day-of wedding checklist for couples, and I want it to have a place for the couple to put their name. I just don't want to label one spot "bride" and one spot "groom" because that will leave out same sex couples. I just don't want them to feel uncomfortable or not included or anything, so I'm trying to figure out language that's more inclusive, that's all.

I hope that made it make more sense! :-D

View Quoted Comment Aaaahhhhh okay, yes, now I get it lol
Thank you for the explanation!
What about Your Name/Partner’s NameBecause I’m assuming one person will be filing it out, even if two people are filling it out together there’s usually one who takes the reins...If that makes sense.

Hahahaha. The inclusivity, the check list, and Hope's suggestion are ALL good ideas!!

I would still make it brides or grooms saying spouse one and spouse two is not inclusive or friendly might be considered offensive even - they are both brides or both grooms. Acknowledgement of their commitment to each other as you would straight couples will make them feel as if you appreciate their commitment just as much as they do
