Bride and groom
A couple at a wedding ceremony.
("Rabbi Joshua opened and preached. And that day was the month of Tammuz, the heavens were covered with clouds and it looked like a kind of rainbow, and there were angels of the service who gathered and came to hear, like the sons of men who gathered and came to see in the guise of a bridegroom and a bride. Rabbi Yosei the priest went and recounted things before Rabban John the son of Zacchaeus, and said: Blessed are you and blessed is the womb of your children, blessed are my eyes which have seen this. And I and you in my dream were surrounded by Mount Sinai" - Hagiga Yad B)
