What does dreaming about wedding & bride mean in the Bible?

Covenant love — the great marriage Scripture moves toward

The Bible begins with a marriage and ends with one: the wedding supper of the Lamb, with the Church as His bride. Jesus performed His first miracle at a wedding feast. A wedding dream may touch longing, covenant, or belonging — and behind them all, the truth that God rejoices over His people as a bridegroom over a bride. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, wedding & bride is filed under people & beings — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Revelation 19:7, Isaiah 62:5, John 2:2. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to wedding & bride, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
