The wedding at Cana in Galilee probably involved a friend or relative of Mary and Jesus since they were invited. Either the details of this event were not well planned, or perhaps there were unexpected guests. In any event, it doesn’t surprise us to find out that Mary was the kind of person who paid attention to details, who thought of others with compassion, and who wanted to prevent embarrassing situations, especially the type of embarrassment of not having enough wine at a wedding that culturally would have harmed this couple, their children, and their children’s children for generations.
