My guess is that there is not marriage in heaven, since there is no marriage in the first resurrection. It would be a little strange to be married in heaven and then not married when the resurrection happens, or inconvenient, I suppose. Maybe there is though?

In fact I don't think you will remember who you were married to

Psalm 102:25-26, Isaiah 65:17, Revelation 21:5a, Isaiah 43:18 ~ In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them, and they will be passed on. For I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.

Luk 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Luk 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Luk 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Mar 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

Those who are married likely are still married after death but the scriptures say after the dead resurrect, that there is no marriage and they will be like the angels...who also do not marry.

Yes, there is no need to guess:

TOJ #127: Marriage is an earthly institution. [MT 22:29-30, MK 12:25, LK 20:35] Procreation will be passe (like it is for me at my age :^), and genetic families will be superseded by the spiritual and universal family of God. (like we experience in good Christian fellowship, hopefully on CC).

There is only one marriage in heaven.

Revelation 19:7
Let us rejoice and exult and give him glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

No more tears to me means no more memories of the troubles we had here on earth. Some children will not be with us, as well as some of our friends and family.

Then there are those who we may really dislike and those who have multiple marriages, or siblings who hurt you, just might be standing beside you in heaven.

We will if we know them in the Spirit.

"Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer."

Not only that, but I think we will perfectly remember the lessons learned during our earthly educational experience, so that we will be morally perfect or fully loving like Christ.

Agreed. We will know everyone we know now (if they are with us).

Marriage is a contract between a man, a woman, and God. It is enforceable until death of one or the other.

In heaven there will be do death so therefore there will be no marriage. However, that does not rule out intimate romantic relationships.

The bible says that we will be like angels. The question is, what activities would that preclude an angel from doing?

Seems to me that God blotting out our memories so we are not aware that are loved ones, especially children and spouses are not with us is a form of lying.

In the times of Jesus there were no involvement of priests except for attending the party afterwards such as in the one at Cana.

Marriage was arranged by contract by the Bride's Father and the young man.

No, there is no merry in heaven. (Except The Lord Jesus and the Bride) and this is one argument in talking to mormons.
Jesus talked about it with the Saduzäer.
