You missed the first two verses:

I didn't miss anything...I just didn't make up a story to go with them...

1On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.

Clearly, Jesus was no stranger to the host. To be a guest at a wedding, as the one described, was a very large honor. To be invited along with your entourage would have been an even very bigger deal. So, people knew He was special, or else he wouldn’t have been invited.

A lot of unwarranted speculation and wishful thinking...Perhaps it was Mary who called Jesus... A few basic questions: How was it Mary came to know there was no wine? Why was it she told Jesus?

Because she looked in the barrels and saw they were empty...And then she probably called Jesus and his buds to collect some grapes and stomp on them...

However, it is correct that Mary interceded on behalf of the host. She petitioned Our Lord to help. He obliged His mother, despite protesting (4 (And) Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me?

So Jesus tells his mother, ' woman, mind your own business...You have nothing to do with my ministry...

She then throws her hands up in exasperation and tells the servants to do what ever Jesus says...

You have really spun a tale out of just a couple of verses...

Your criticism is accepted. And your story is quite humorous.
