Tom H: How should the koumbaro address the bride and groom?
I’m just curious what the Greek word is for the koumbaro to use when addressing the bride and groom. Any help would be much appreciated.

The call each other koumparo.
I mean, if you are the koumparos, you also call the groom koumpare (in vocative) and the bride, koumpara.
If they ask you: Tom, what is your relationship to the bride and the groom?
You can say: We are koumparoi (plural).
You just become a koumparos and you then all are koumparoi. Respectively, your wife, or even wife-to-be, may be adressed by them as koumpara.
But the official koumparos is you (then one that marries them). If you get married after them you have a new koumparo!
*I just noticed I written koumparos instead of koumbaros, but it’s the same thing.
