I believe the answer is:

espouse

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

'enthusiastically embrace' is the definition.
'espouse' can be an answer for 'embrace' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'enthusiastically' bit.

'internet bride?' is the wordplay.
'internet' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bride?' becomes 'spouse' (bride is a kind of spouse).
'e'+'spouse'='ESPOUSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for espouse that I've seen before include "Take in marriage" , "Champion or support, as with a cause" , "Adopt or support, say a cause" , "Follow and promote a cause" , "help!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
