Re: marriage
There's no "automatic" bridging visa upon marriage. You'll have to
lodge a valid application for a spouse visa (i.e. be legally able to
lodge such a visa) onshore in order to get a bridging visa once your
existing visa expires.
Offshore spouse visa applicants obviously won't get a bridging visa.

The answer to that kind of question is not simple and requires consideration of a lot of other factors. I suggest you get some professional assistance, try IARC: http://www.iarc.asn.au
