I've always understood Dodi in this song to refer  to your fellow Jew, each 
saying to the other, "Come, let us greet the  Shabbos."  
 
And I've always understood "the kallah" (=the Shabbas queen) to be  either a 
metaphor/personification of the Shabbos for poetic purposes, or the  angel in 
charge of Shabbos, the way the Sar shel Esav, say, is the angel in  charge of 
Esav.
