I know its not actually part of the wedding, but its something that women have to do now before they get married (didnt know how to phrase that).
But was it always like that? Before mamad har sinai? Or only after? Or only later?

I heard that the simanim Yaakov gave to Rachel were hilchot nidda. And I also heard that women toveled in the Nile while they were slaves in mitzrayim.

I also heard that the Mitzrim worked to prevent Jewish women from dipping in the mikvah, as a way of reducing the population.

I’m not sure I understand the question but the laws of niddah have definitely evolved and gotten stricter throughout time.

Originally, all women toiveled, married or not. At some point, I assume after churban bayit sheni, the rabbanim observed that too many people were , as the old-fashioned novels would put it, "anticipating their marriage vows" and declared that only married women would toivel. This would serve as a powerful deterrent to premarital activities. I assume this was after the churban because, regardless of marital status, you can't eat korbanot in a state of tum'ah. Where there are no korbanot in the picture, being in a state of perpetual tum'ah is not the problem it is when there are korbanot.

I love "anticipating their marriage vows". Not exactly a phrase I ever thought I'd read on imamother.

She’s got a “zaq” of good phrases around here.
