Well, that's an option! No, I think the implication if you wish the bride congrats is that she, y'know, set out to snag the guy. Which isn't, y'know, genteel and ladylike behavior.So feel free to say congrats, I guess, depending on who the bride is....

Actually, although I wished congrats to caam, the reason in Judaism for not saying congrats to a bride is the same reason we only say "may all things happen at the proper time" when learning someone is expecting: it's to prevent the "evil eye" from being drawn towards you and interferring with the event that is yet to happen.
