I agree that the bride-finding aspect is a pain, but try to role-play it as part of the family-building dynasty aspect of the game. Look at your key neighbors and/or powerful families that you want to marry into. Screen these areas by the various forms of succession so you know if you can inherit some goodies once you're married into the family. Sometimes it's not as important to marry a high-rating bride as it is to hook into a good situation. Of course a balance of these factors is best.
