(παρανύμφιος ), a term used in ancient Greece to denote one of the friends or relations of a bridegroom who attended him on the occasion of his marriage. Among the Jews there were two paranymphs, one a relative of the bridegroom and the other of the bride; the first was called his companion, and the other her conductor. Their business was to attend upon the parties at the marriage ceremony. (See WEDDING).
