Cultural Note
In colloquial German, 'Braut' is sometimes used informally to mean 'girlfriend' or even just 'girl/woman,' though this usage can be considered somewhat crass. In its proper sense, it refers to the bride on her wedding day. 'Brautkleid' is the wedding dress, and 'Brautstrauß' is the bridal bouquet. The male counterpart is 'Bräutigam' (groom).
