Event considered in the Scriptures as the ceremony by which a man and a woman are legally enabled to form a separate family unit. The betrothal (or betrothal) was a significant and obligatory promise for the marriage that was to follow (Deu 20:7), a commitment that could only be broken by death or divorce. At the time of the betrothal gifts of jewelery were presented to the girl, and sometimes to her mother; and depending on the society, the price of the bride, dowry or contract was also exchanged. It was becoming more and more common for gold coins to be part of betrothal gifts. During the betrothal period, which normally lasted a year, the young woman was already considered as belonging to her future husband, and any man who sexually violated her was punished with death by stoning.
a small tent or cabin was often built for the use of the bride and groom on the night of the wedding (2Sa 16:22; Psa 19:4-5; Song of Sons 1:16-17). For the very poor who could not afford this privacy, a small section was set up in the groom’s parents’ tent for the use of the new spouses. Traditionally the bride remained veiled herself and the tent was kept dark until after the marriage was consummated (eg, Laban put Leah in place of her more attractive sister Rachel; compare Gen 24:67).
Over time the wedding ceremony became more elaborate, with the participation of the entire village. The bride and groom would dress in fine linen garments, while the bride would also beautify herself with cosmetic preparations and anoint herself with sweet-scented perfumes. She also sported an elaborate hairstyle that she adorned with gold coins, which were part of her dowry. In later biblical times there seem to have been separate processions for the bride and groom, each accompanied by musicians, dancers, torchbearers, congratulators, and friends (Jer 7:34; Jer 16:9; Jer 25:10).
Following the example of King Solomon (Song of Solomon 3:11), the groom was crowned king of the party, and apparently in that same period (900 BC) the bride also underwent a coronation ceremony ( Eze 16:8-13). Traditionally the festivities lasted seven days (Jdg 14:12, Jdg 14:17). At one point in the ceremonies, she was escorted into the specially prepared bridal chamber, amid cheers, laughter, and enthusiasm from the guests present.

Celebration in which a man and a woman become spouses before God and men. In the OT there are no details of any special ceremony that was performed in that act. We are simply told: “When a man takes a wife and marries her…† (Deu 24:1; Exo 2:1). It is known, however, that b. they were a reason for celebration for the family or the community. b’s party it included a †¢banquet that could last up to seven days, as was the case with Jacob (Gen 29:21-28) and Samson (Jdg 14:12). Songs were apparently included in the feast, praising the bride’s beauty (“her virgins were not praised in wedding songs”). Both the bridegroom and the bride were dressed in a special way († œshe clothed me with the garments of salvation, she surrounded me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom she adorned me, and as a bride adorned with her jewels †).
Deu 22:15 speaks of “the signs of the virginity of the maiden”. It was customary that during the days of the b. her husband gave her parents a sheet or cloth with blood stains that proved that the young woman had come to marriage a virgin. This was kept by the family and was displayed if the husband “attributes faults that give cause to speak” (Deu 22:14).
parable of the ten virgins (Mat 25:1-13) has as background the celebration of a b. Usually the b. they began at night, so the virgins took “their lamps.” The groom, accompanied by his friends († œthose who are at the wedding †; † œthe husband’s friend †), left his house for his bride’s house, who was waiting for him accompanied by her family and friends. she. Then everyone performed a kind of procession, with music and dances, towards the house where the spouses would live, or to the place where the party would be celebrated. There was no special dress for b., but the party guests were expected to wear their best clothes (Mat 22:11-12).
happy reunion of the Lord Jesus with his church in heaven is presented as a b., a reason for great celebration (“Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory; because the b. of the Lamb have come, and his wife has prepared herself† ).

vet, Joyous event, celebrated with music, banquets, wine, jokes; after exile written contracts were made and sealed; the groom went with friends to her bride’s house and then escorted her to her own house (Mt. 25:7); the festivities lasted one or two weeks (Gen. 29:27; Judg. 14:12); men and women were separated at the party, even during the banquet. The wedding dress of the guests was not in itself a special suit; but the one who invited had the right to have the guests appear at the banquet in festive clothes. (See MARRIAGE).

1. gamos (gavmo”, 1062), wedding, marriage, or wedding party. It is used to denote: (a) the ceremony and its celebration, including the wedding feast (John 2:1,2); of only the wedding ceremony, figuratively (Rev 19:7), as distinct from the wedding feast (v. 9); (b) the wedding party (Mat 22:2,3,4,8,9,10; 25.10; Luk 12:36; 14.8); in Mat 22:11,12 the “wedding dress” is, lit.: “a dress of a wedding”. In Rev_19, where, under the figure of a wedding, the union of Christ, as Lamb of God, with his heavenly bride, which takes place in heaven during the parousia, is described, v. 7 (indicating with the aorist tense, or punctual, an accomplished fact); the Bride (numfe, betrothed, betrothed, bride), is called “his wife” (gune); the wedding supper will take place on earth, after the Second Coming (v. 9). That Christ is called the Lamb points to his atoning sacrifice as the basis on which the union takes place. The antecedents of this phraseology are found in the OT description of God’s relationship with Israel (eg, Isa 54:4 :; Eze 16:7 :; Hos 2:19); (c) marriage in general, including the married state, which is to be held as “honorable” (Heb 13:4). Note: Among the Jews, the wedding supper took place in the husband’s house, and it was the great social event in family life. In Mat 22:1-14 generous hospitality is indicated, and resentment at any refusal to heed the invitation. The Wedding at Cana exhibits the way a wedding was conducted in humble homes. Special honor was given to the friends of the groom, “the children of the bridal chamber” (RSV: “those at the wedding”; VM: “the groom’s companions”, Mat 9:15; see No. 2). At the end, the parents took the bride to the bridal chamber (cf. Jdg 15:1). See MARRIAGE. 2. numfon (numfwvn, 3567) means: (a) the room or dining room in which the wedding ceremonies were held (Mat 22:10); some ms. they have here fallow deer, wedding; (b) the chamber containing the wedding bed. The term “those who are at the wedding” means “the children of the bridal room”, and refers to the friends of the groom, who were in charge of providing what was necessary for the wedding (Mat 9:15; Mc 2.19; Luk 5: 34).¶
