This song is Beautiful despair that has kept me comfort many times and made me cry even more. When he sings thesea wants to claim me... knife wants to slit me its just a heatbreaking description of what suicidal thoughts feel like, drawn to death because of the werainess of life...sad beyond words in the language.
The sad veiled bride is not to my mind the ex lover of the protaganist (Morrissey I assume) he is noting that even this bride is sad, and thus those who are getting married are sometimes in fact oftentimes just as neglected and desperately unhappy as he is being alone and rejected all the time.
Love is natural and real but not for you and I my love... he feels kinship with this bride because even though she has someone, she's had to compromise her standards and her true joy in order to not be alone.
I can't see that the bride is anything other that a point at which Morrissey compares his fate to those that are coupled and sees that sometimes for some people love just doesn't exist or work and never will and perhaps it is our own characteristics that make love unattainable.
