Unsure about when to use the term "The Bride"

I have been assuming that the actual person getting married (the female party) was the bride, & could be considered "the bride" until the wedding, even if it's 2-3 months away.

I have been assuming that the actual person getting married (the female party) was the bride, & could be considered "the bride" until the wedding, even if it's 2-3 months away.

Assuming this, I mentioned that I was the bride in a sentence to someone the other day & she flat out told me I wasn't the bride. She was a bride, since she was already married- she was a Bride, I was not. I was told that I'm not the bride until the day of my wedding & I'm just engaged.

Seemed to me like someone just had a bug int heir butt, but I don't want to make the mistake of saying it again, if I'm not "the Bride"

I didn't even think it was that big of a deal? Just curious. what exactly makes one of us girls the bride? or are we not until our perspective wedding days?

    Ask her what she thinks the "Here Comes the Bride" song means.

    And then tell her to STFU.

    My favorite use of the word.........My FH's grandfather introduced his wife(yes FH grandmother) to me and everyone else as this is my bride Jackie! I have had patients introduce their wifes that way as well. Melts my heart everytime!

    Dear, people are so weird those days!) Centuries change and we remain unchanged in one thing - we all look for real love. And try to be outstanding) We invent new rules and tips, according to our era trends. But the feelings stay unchanged) It's really a thing - how to find and after that - how to save your relationships. I think, that we shouldn't be so dramatic. Be open, be sincere and fair with your lover - and your relationship will end up with children and happy life together) Do be pragmatic if you have an intention to find love!
