I would posit that Joel 3:12:14 is just before the Day of the Lord and verse 13 is the Lord instructing His angels of their jobs. Verse 15 is moments before that Day beginning(see also Joel 2:31) and verse 16 is Jesus setting foot on the Mount of Olives.
I am inclined to believe that Rev. 19:1-10 is a proof that the Church is in Heaven before the Day of the Lord, not the actual wedding supper. Verse 7 says the "marriage of the Lamb has come...", not 'has already taken place' and in verse 9 that the angel told John to write "blessed are those who are invited...", That scene could very well happen moments before Jesus descends and the DotL begins. verses 11-21 go on to describe the events of the Day of the Lord.
It doesn't make sense to me that the Supper would happen while the enemy is still roaming the Earth.
I don't know for sure. If you know of a scripture that definitely places the Wedding Supper before the Day of the Lord, I'd like to see it because I can't find it. I believe a timeline can be constructed from the clues God has given us. But, as I was just reading in Acts yesterday, maybe it's not for us to know exactly, because Jesus Himself told the disciples:
"He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”" Acts 1:7-8
There are obviously certain things God the Father has set a definite date for, but it's not for us to know, but we are witnesses to the events as they unfold and we recognize them for what they are so that it can be recorded. Very much like Gary, has done with his articles like www.unsealed.org/2020/08/signs-in-sky-earth-and-sea.html
