[B-Greek] OUS O QEOS SYNEZEUXEN…

I have a question on the pronoun OUS.

Greeks, referring to a couple getting married as being divinely 
ordained,  often use the coined phrase: OUS O QEOS SYNEZEUXEN, which is 
slightly different from the original O OUN O QEOS SUNEZEUXEN [...]. The 
KJV renders OUN as “WHAT,” but I think the common Greek notion of OUS 
(at least in this case) is “THESE,” i.e. these two, who are getting 
married. Is this a proper use of the Koine OUS?

Thank you,

Dean Kalmantis
