"The companions of the bride are those who are forsaken after the secret coming of Jesus Christ".

The companions of the bride are those who are forsaken after the secret coming of Jesus Christ. Friends of the Bride are those who die as a blood witness for their love for Christ. In Psalm 45:14, when the bride is brought to the king, the bride's friend is also brought. And in Revelation 19:9 - blessed are those who are invited to the marriage feast of the Lamb. Those who are invited to the wedding party are friends and girlfriends. However in Ps 45:14 friends are invited along with the bride.
