Those are his words, not mine. I don’t think either of us would accept that he’s lying about being taken from them (and crucified) and them fasting, so instead we have to reject your interpretation.
As someone pointed out upthread.
The Bride is not the guests of the bridegroom.
So you are free to reject that interpretation if you want, but it still works.
Church demanded fasting is legalism and is not done for the right motives. That puts it in the category of fulfilling a religious obligation, not a true spiritual discipline that actually brings one into closer relationship with God.
