just married, bride, groom -> νεόνυμφοι, νύφη, γαμπρός

Hello all, newbie here with my first question... actually the question I was researching that brought me to stumble across this site, for which I'm grateful!

A friend of mine is going to be getting married in Greece in a few weeks, and she wants t-shirts made (I know, OY, but it's not my wedding) that say "Just Married" on the back and "Bride" and "Groom" (respectively) on the front, all in Greek.  I'm having difficulty with the translation myself because I'm not familiar with the Greek equivalent of "just" in the sense and context that it's being used... any assistance is greatly appreciated! 

For the record, I'm assuming classical Greek here (as opposed to ancient) because I doubt she knows the difference anyway, and it's most likely what she's picturing.  I'm also assuming standard capitalization, as in "Just Married" and "Bride" and "Groom".

My thanks (and hers) in advance!

Is there any chance that by ''classical Greek'', you mean ''modern Greek''?

Hi Talantus.
I' m assuming you mean modern Greek, is that right?
You could translate "Just Married" as:

Μόλις παντρευτήκαμε (We just got married) or

Νιόπαντροι (newly weds - slightly more common here, although a bit cheesy).

Bride -> H νύφη
Groom ->Ο γαμπρός

All the best to you friend!

In proper modern Greek:

Νεόνυμφοι (for Just Married)

And I suggest you drop the articles:

Bride -> Νύφη

Bridegroom -> Γαμπρός

Ah Gods, what helpfulness!!!  Thank you, all, I will pass along your words and hope (for her husband's sake) that she is satisfied.  Thank you, truly.

...and yes, I suppose I do mean modern greek... for some reason I've always referred to it as classical and ancient... but in restrospect I have no idea where I initially got that idea...[color]
