The Church as the Bride of Christ, and individual Christians as "brides" of Christ -- but if the latter is an appropriate application of the first statement, taken literally, that would mean that the Theotokos is both the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ and His bride. (One of many.) Do you see a problem with that?
(Then there is the Latin title of Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit... this will have to be addressed in a separate post.)
