In general, filing a Ch. 7 does not in the slightest affect your right to get married. I don't understand what 'it' is that you mention being discharged, but assuming you mean your load of debt, your marriage should not affect it. The BR relates only to debts you incurred before the date you filed your Bankruptcy petition.

You do not have to wait, but it would probably be a good idea to wait until at least after your 341 is done.
