And you say this on what authority?
1 Chron 29.1 The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the Lord God.
God created man in His own image--not the reverse. God does not have to do things man's way, and in fact He doesn't.
Hos 11.9 For I am God, and not a man—the Holy One among you.
Mark 10.27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
God may have used Jewish weddings as an illustration of what He's going to do for us. But to say, authoritatively, how God will build a mansion is well beyond your right to proclaim.

No, I believe Dwelling Places to be the Correct Translation, but I do not believe it is worth starting an agrument over.
Here is the AUTHORITY from Christ HIMSELF, the eternal GOD among us.
John 14:2-3 (HCSB)
2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am going away to prepare a place for you.
3 If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also.
John 1:1 (HCSB)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 (HCSB)
14 The Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We observed His glory, the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (HCSB)
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
