During the ceremony the clergyman put the following question to each bridegroom: "Wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife?" and then to each bride: "Wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband?"
Afterwards each bridegroom put a ring on the fourth finger of his bride, at the same time saying: "With this ring I thee wed."
As soon as the marriage ceremony was over the bridegrooms and brides went to George's father's house, where the wedding banquet took place.
Some years afterwards George was divorced, and a year later I saw in the papers that his sister had divorced her husband.
[40] "Bride" and "bridegroom" are synonymous terms in English for persons who are _about to be_ and _have been_ married, but they are distinguished in Esperanto:
_Edzinigonto_ = A bride before marriage.
_Edziniganto_ = A bride who is being married.
_Edziniginto_, or, _novedzino_ = A bride after marriage.
(See pars. 208, 209.)
