Norman and Jim,

It doesn't make sense for Moses' wife to call him a bridegroom long after 
they married, but if she was talking about the past when they first met, it 
does make sense. When Moses showed up in Midian possibly on foot, he was her 
"bridegroom of blood" because he was already circumcized and they got married 
pretty soon after they met. 

If it says she circumcized her son and then touched his feet (symbolizing 
Moses coming to her) and said "because (that) a bridegroom of blood came to 
me" referring to the circumcision, it does not have to mean she was angry at 
all like most commentators say. She might have meant it in a nice way.
