What I said earlier that was cut out, was more appropriate, but this should do:
Matthew 9:15

To quote the Catholic Catechism:

"796: The Church is the Bride of Christ -- The unity of Christ and the Church, head and members of one Body, also implies the distinction of the two within a personal relationship. This aspect is often expressed by the image of bridegroom and bride. The theme of Christ as Bridegroom of the Church was prepared for by the prophets and announced by John the Baptist (John 3:29). The Lord referred to himself as the 'bridegroom' (Mark 2:19). The Apostle speaks of the whole Church and of each of the faithful, members of his Body, as a bride 'betrothed' to Christ the Lord so as to become but one spirit with him (cf Matthew 22:1-14; Matthew 25:1-13; 1 Corinthians 6:15-17; 2 Corinthians 11:2). The Church is the spotless bride of the spotless Lamb (cf Revelation 22:17; Ephesians 1:4; Ephesians 5:27). 'Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her' (Ephesians 5:25-26). He has joined her with himself in an everlasting covenant and never stops caring for her as for his own body (cf Ephesians 5:29)."
