n. St. Bride, Saint Bridget, Brigid of Ireland (451-523), Irish holy woman and abbess, patron saint of Ireland; family name

A bride is a female participant in a wedding ceremony: a woman about to be married, currently being married, or, in some uses, very recently married. The term used to mean 'daughter-in-law', as newly married women at one time moved into the husband's family home. Further back, the word possibly comes from the Teutonic word for 'cook'. A bride is typically attended by one or more bridesmaids or maids of honor. Her partner, if male, is the bridegroom or "groom", after the wedding, in marriage, her husband. The term is applicable during the first year of wifehood.

In Irish mythology, Brigit or Brighid ("exalted one") was the daughter of the Dagda and one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. She was the wife of Bres of the Fomorians, with whom she had a son, Ruadán. She had two sisters, also named Brighid, and is considered a classic Celtic Triple Goddess.
