From my perspective, I think the most key verse you quoted is Revelation 19:7-9 about the marriage of the Lamb. According to Revelation 19:1, it seems like John is having a vision of something happening in heaven.

Assuming this particular passage of Revelation is literal then the marriage of the Lamb is a prophecy of a future event that needs to involve the whole church (not just some members, but all) past, present, and future. The church is the referred to as the bride of Christ as you rightly pointed out in Ephesians 5:25-27.

The bride of Christ is the new Jerusalem and all who dwell
There

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:22-24‬ ‭

That heavenly kingdom is the bride and will return

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”
