bridechamber

Concise Bible Dictionary:

The Lord was the Bridegroom, and while He was on earth the “sons” (companions, friends) of the bridechamber could not mourn nor fast; but in His absence they would do so (Matt. 9:15; Mark 2:19; Luke 5:34). The friend of the Bridegroom (to whom John the Baptist likened himself) is spoken of in distinction from the bride herself (John 3:29).
