Christ provides 150 gallons of wine, what wedding party would consume 150+ gallons of wine?
We were talking about this after Mass this morning. I joked that the poor groom probably wasn’t expecting Jesus to bring all those hard drinking fishermen with him.
From what I understand, though, wedding feasts lasted from 5 to 7 days during the time of Jesus, and there was a sense of a holiday in the village.
But your point is well taken. Jesus did provide 12 extra bushels of food when He multiplied the loaves and fishes.

I have to assume you’ve never had the pleasure of going to an Italian wedding party!
