Those aren't explanations for the characters' composition - they're silly mnemonics that you made up on the spot. Definitely helpful for remembering the characters, but not for showing logic in them. If a groom needs a woman, then a bride needs a man, right? But 嫁 doesn't contain 男. And why do "forget" and "busy" (忙) get to use "die", but "kill" doesn't?
