The marriage feast is when the faithful are rewarded. This happens all the time when one faithful dies and meets his reward. Amillenialists just think it happens to each of us, “by inches” rather than all at once, forever to some, but not to others who have already died.
Similar with ideas like the rapture. All faithful get raptured, rather than suffer death. “Oh death where is thy sting?” Rather than have the rapture be something that is missed by all Christians except the few who are raptured on ‘the big day’. If rapture was only for that few, then all other Christians who looked forward to it are looking forward to it in vain.

The rapture is for ALL but.....many decided their own way is best. HIS WORD reigns!
"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many.
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. 11 Depart from me, you evildoers.'
