Will no one address this?
Why didn't the wedding party at Cana approach the Lord instead of relying on Mary to intercede on their behalf? And why didn't Jesus take the opportunity to scold them for such an insulting act? Instead, He performs the first miracle of His ministry on their behalf.
Discuss.

He was setting a bad example, like he did at the Transfiguration. </sarcasm>

No, because it's a phony version of the story.
3 And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Nowhere does it say the wedding party 'petitioned' Mary. Plus, they would not 'know' to ask Jesus for a miracle, since as he replied to Mary, "mine hour is not yet come".
