Member of bridal party interrupts discontented guest in European location (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ghent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'european location' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'member of bridal party interrupts discontented guest' is the wordplay.
'member of bridal party' becomes 'hen' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'interrupts' indicates putting letters inside.
'discontented' means to remove the middle letters (the word's contents are removed).
'guest' with its centre removed is 'gt'.
'hen' going inside 'gt' is 'GHENT'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ghent that I've seen before include "NW Belgian city" , "City of northwest Belgium, known for its cloth industry" , "European city" , "source of good news" , "Belgian port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
