"Mat spoke strange words she almost understood - the Old Tongue, she thought - and two ravens alighted on his shoulders, claws sinking through his coat into the flesh beneath."
My line of thought and question are actually around the last one, specifically the reference to the ravens sinking their claws into the flesh of his shoulders. Is this just another reference to the marriage? Or something more, something deeper?
The Seekers for Truth have ravens tattooed on their shoulders...
Might this mean that Matt will become a Seeker? Or that his fate is tied up with a Seeker? Like, Almurat Mor, the one who has been actively following Matt's group since The Shadow Rising?
What do you think the prophecy means and how do you think the story line with the Seeker, Almurat Mor, will play out?

The Raven tattoos signify possessions of the Imperial Family, not just the Seekers, but also the Deathwatch Guards, for example.
Also worth noting is that Ravens also represent the Shadow, not only the Seanchan.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.
