A bride is a woman about to be married or newlywed. Nowadays, bride can be used as an interjection in a complete sentence with the definition of "before" or "pre". In Western culture, a bride may be attended by one or more bridesmaids
The word may come from the Proto-Germanic verb root *brū-, meaning 'to cook, brew, or make a broth,' which was the role of the daughter-in-law in primitive families. But Aoife Curran, in Ireland Legends And Folklore, suggests that the word "bride" may be named for Saint Brigit.
In Europe and North America, the typical attire for a bride is a formal dress and a veil. Usually, in the "white wedding" model, the bride's dress is bought specifically for the wedding, and is not in a style that could be worn for any subsequent events. Previously, until at least the middle of the 19th century, the bride generally wore her best dress, whatever color it was, or if the bride was well-off, she ordered a new dress in her favorite color and expected to wear it again.
A bride is a female participant in a wedding ceremony.

Bride were an American Christian rock band formed in the 1980s, by brothers Dale and Troy Thompson. During the band's peak years it was known for covering a wide range of musical styles and remains popular in places like Brazil. Their song "Same 'Ol Sinner" is on the Digital Praise PC game Guitar Praise.
Bride was formed in Louisville, Kentucky in the early 1980s, by brothers Dale and Troy Thompson. Going by the name Matrix at first, the brothers started writing music and recording demos in 1983. They recorded four demos and started selling them at concerts and through magazines. In 1986, the band opened for the Canadian group Daniel Band in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. This performance caught the eye of an agent of Refuge Records. He decided to sign them to their new label, Pure Metal Records, which was oriented to metal music. At that time, the band consisted of guitarist Steve Osborne (1966–2011), bassist Scott Hall, and drummer Stephen Rolland. They officially changed its name to Bride and went on to record Show No Mercy. In 1988, bassist Frank Partipilo joined the band and with this line up they recorded Live to Die and Silence Is Madness (1989).
there's a war around disneyland (proverbs 4: 17-18)
there's no love they don't understand
free falling through america
they have no family with gun in hand
it's a world self contained
wear no colors but they have a name
see it in their eyes, racial genocide, blood on the street
love money prison crime
no graffiti doing time
safe house wearing scars
got to prove who they are
had to leave their motherland
sanctuary for the rebel man
where are all of your machine guns stashed
freedom is your cocaine in the kitchen trash
they lived in violence all their life (revelation 21: 8)
step over bodies day and night (1 john 3: 15)
they have a habit of spreading fear
here in america
we open our arms
we open our doors
world on our shoulders
hope on the shores
we have stood strong
have bared our soul
there's an epidemic
