'Bridegroom' in the Bible

And Jesus replied to them, “Can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.

Now while the bridegroom was delayed, they all began to nod off, and they fell asleep.

But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look! The bridegroom [is coming]! Go out to meet him.’

But while they were going away to buy oil, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut and locked.
