Pale and scared-looking while member of bride's party is confronted (5-5)

'pale and scared-looking' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'while member of bride's party is confronted' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'while' could be 'as' (eg 'while I walked' means 'as I walked') and 'as' is found in the answer.
'party' could be 'hen' (hen party is a kind of party) and 'hen' is located in the answer.
'confronted' could be 'faced' ('face' can be a synonym of 'confront') and 'faced' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
