It was a very typical Pharisee wedding. It would have lasted about half of the day, and ended when the groom headed to his house to find his bride.

What basis do you have for calling it a Pharisee wedding? There is nothing in John’s account to indicate that any Pharisees were there. If it had lasted half a day, it isn’t likely they would have run short of wine.
