Many religious groups say it is the church. But that contradicts the verse that states in the new jeruselum there will be no temple worthy enough to hold God. Do you have any other ideas about this mysterious bride?

Us, we as a people and individuals. Have you ever heard a song that goes, "I can't wait, for our wedding day to come, can't wait to see Your face, can't wait to feel your arms of love?"
It says, "for OUR". That refers to people, as us.

There is no contradiction. Note that the earth and stars do not flee with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is God, and the groom of that bride. No, the Church of God is indeed the bride of Christ. It is God the Father that is spoken of in verse
Consider that Israel (the Church in the wilderness) was the bride of Jesus (the Word/the Lord), in the Old Testament.
Jer 3:14 - "Return, O backsliding children," says the Lord; "for I am married to you...."
Since God hates divorce, the only other way to dissolve that marriage is through death; hence, Christ Jesus died. Upon resurrection, he is free to marry again. This time, to a faithful wife.

The bride is actually the body of Christ, the believers or the Church. The church are the believers will be are raptured away to heaven before the Great Tribulation begins.
They should be confused with great multitude in white robes,mentioned in Rev.7:9-17, who are ones who came out the Great Tribulation and washed their robes and made white by the blood of Jesus.

The bride of Christ is the Christian church. The church and the temple are different things. Rev. 21:22 says that "...there is no temple because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple..."

The bride is the Church.
What verse?
the very last of Rev?
The Church is believers
Believers and Jesus invite everyone to join the Redeemed in that particular verse.
Rev 22:17

I think Jesus was sweet on Judas and was hoping to make him the bride you speak of - that relationship was, shall we say, less-than successful.

not the building, but the body of believers that is the Church.
