Bride
A bride is a woman who is about to be married or who is newlywed.
When marrying, the bride’s future spouse, or “husband” is usually referred to as the bridegroom or groom. In Western culture, a bride may be attended by one or more bridesmaids.
-
Wife
A wife is a female partner in a continuing marital relationship.
The term continues to be applied to a woman who has separated from her partner, and ceases to be applied to such a woman only when her marriage has come to an end, following a legally recognized divorce or the death of her spouse. On the death of her partner, a wife is referred to as a widow, but not after she is divorced from her partner.
The rights and obligations of a wife in relation to her partner and her status in the community and in law vary between cultures and have varied over time.
