I was reading a tweet about the importance of getting married early recently. The writer used the phrase "the newly-wedded couple," and I found myself questioning its grammaticality. "Newly wedded" seems incorrect; the appropriate term should be "newly-wed." 

"Newly-wed" can function as both a noun and an adjective. As an adjective, it describes individuals or couples who have recently married, while as a noun, it refers to someone who has recently married. When used in its plural form, "newlyweds" describes people who have recently married each other.

Examples as adjectives:

📌 The newly-wed wife danced at their reception.

📌 The newly-wed husband cooked dinner.

📌 The newly-wed pair watched the sunset.

📌 The newly-wed duo kissed breathlessly. 😤

📌 The newly-wed couple embarked on their honeymoon.

Examples as nouns:

📌 The newly-weds shared a joyous dance at their reception.

📌 The newly-weds enjoyed a romantic dinner prepared by the husband.

📌 From their balcony, the newly-weds admired the sunset.

📌 Unpacking their gifts, the newly-weds shared laughter over quirky presents.

📌 Excited newly-weds embarked on their honeymoon, eager for new adventures.
