Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

The Church as Bride of Christ

The verse explicitly states "thy sons marry thee" and "thy God rejoice over thee," referring to a relationship between God and a collective entity (likely Israel/Zion, given the context of Isaiah), not specifically the New Testament concept of the Church as the Bride of Christ. The "sons" marrying "thee" also complicates a direct allegorical link to Christ and the Church.
