Default Awkward question.

How do you call the couple, in a gay wedding? In heterosexual weddings is Groom and Bride. I doubt it is Groom and Groom, or is it?

I'm fairly certain they are both grooms. Unless one of them has a fetish or something. . .

Or it could be two brides! I say define it in the way that feels comfortable to you.

I think it depends on the person.

It could be Bride Bride or Groom Groom or just Mate and Mate.

No like, a remix of here comes the bride, with those lyrics. all trance-like.

I think they are bride and bride or groom and groom.
I can't wait until my wedding. I've already got it planned, just like the hetero-girls at my school.

"... I now pronounce you man and husband."
or "... I now pronounce you woman and wife."

Doesn't sound wrong. It sounds totally right

I think it doesnt matter what theyre called, it depends on what theyre comfortable with.

would you still say a gay couple is married, or something else?
