A bridegroom (often shortened to groom) is a man who is about to be married, or who has just been married.

He is typically attended by a best man and groomsmen. His partner is known as the bride, who is typically attended by one or more bridesmaids or maids of honour. The groom will after that ceremony be called a husband of his wife. The term has the Indogermanic root of "earth" (for "ghmún"), which evolved into Latin humanus and Germanic and English "man" and "groom".
