Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types
or Matthew 22:3 (a) Our Lord is referring in this passage to the meeting between a sinner and his Saviour individually, and perhaps also between the church and her Lord collectively. When the individual comes to the Lord JESUS, falls in love with Him and trusts Him, it is described as a marriage, as in Romans 7:4. When the church is caught up to meet the Lord in the air to be actually, personally and physically in His presence forever, that also is described as a marriage, as in Revelation 19:7. Everything has been prepared by the Lord JESUS, both for the reception of the individual, and for the reception of the entire church. He invites everyone to come and gives a royal welcome and rich provision to those who do come. (See also Luke 12:36).
