Is the word noivo the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?
Yes.
The word "noivo" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding its meaning (referring to both a "fiancé" and a "groom"), its spelling, and its grammatical function. The only difference lies in pronunciation: Brazilian Portuguese tends to have more open vowels and a more melodic, syllable-timed rhythm, whereas Continental Portuguese uses more closed vowels and a more stress-timed, consonant-heavy rhythm.
Brazilian Portuguese Examples

- O noivo ficou muito emocionado durante os votos. (The groom became very emotional during the vows.)
- O noivo e a noiva chegaram agora. (The groom and the bride arrived just now.)
