Daughter tucked into cheese, as one at reception? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bride

'one at reception?' is the definition.
(a bride would attend a wedding reception)

'daughter tucked into cheese' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'tucked into' is an insertion indicator.
'cheese' becomes 'brie' (Brie is an example).
'd' put within 'brie' is 'BRIDE'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for bride that I've seen before include "The Woman In White, perhaps?" , "Marriageable woman" , "one going to church or office?" , "Wife of groom" , "Groom's partner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
