In the interval, I'm chasing intended bride at last (8)

I believe the answer is:
meantime
'in the interval i'm chasing intended bride at last' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'i'm chasing intended bride at last' is the wordplay.
'chasing' says to put letters next to each other (some letters chase after others).
'intended' becomes 'meant' (to mean something is to intend it).
'at last' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'bride' is 'e'.
'im' put after 'meant' is 'meantim'.
'meantim'+'e'='MEANTIME'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meantime that I've seen before include "For the moment" , "interim?" , "interval" , "Intervening period" .)
