Express to curb type of shower (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bridal

'type of shower' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'express to curb' is the wordplay.
'express' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'expressed' mean this).
'to curb' becomes 'bridle' (synonyms).
'bridle' is a homophone of 'BRIDAL'.

(Other definitions for bridal that I've seen before include "Newly-wed" , "Relating to the woman getting married" , "of marriage" , "To do with wedding - perhaps a suite" , "The suite for the honeymooners" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
