It isn't based on what the Bible says.

Actually, there is some support for the marriage of Jesus in the Bible. The supporters of the idea have long pointed to the marriage in Cana of Galilee at which Jesus is believed to have turned water into wine. The critical passages are in John 2:1-12.

The suggestion is that the wedding was Jesus' because his mother was there and appears to be responsible for providing the wine. She gives directions to the servants to do what Jesus tells them. She would have been in charge at her son's wedding and would have given directions to servants.

But the strongest suggestion that Jesus was the bridegroom at the wedding is here:

"They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, 'Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.'
