I didn’t really notice your typo.... But I don’t see that making an issue of them is productive anyway. I’ve made my share of them and it happens. I always notice mine just as I hit the *Post* button and you can’t take it back at that point.
I was just thinking family affair not that only the family was invited. That didn’t come across right.
Anyway, it’s typically the family who provides the food and I suspect that Mary was involved with that some how. Since she told the servants to do whatever He told them, she obviously expected Him to fix the problem and I don’t see that as a job of just any old guest, which is why I think it was a wedding somewhere in Jesus’ family. I think that Joseph would have done it had he been around, and whether Jesus was the oldest son or the only son, the fact that she went to Him indicates that Joseph was out of the picture by that time.
And I still don’t think she expected Him to do a miracle to fix it.
” I still don’t think she expected Him to do a miracle to fix it.”
True—we aren’t privileged in this life to “read her mind”.
But we will know when “all that is hidden will be revealed.”
God bless.

It is doubtful whether Jesus mother ever quite knew what to expect from Jesus. He showed his fierce independence as a 12 year old.
Luke 2:
[41] Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
[42] And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom;
[43] and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,
[44] but supposing him to be in the company they went a day's journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances;
[45] and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
[46] After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions;
[47] and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
[48] And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously."
[49] And he said to them, "How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
[50] And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
[51] And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
[52] And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man.
