Matthew Poole and continuators on John 2:1

AND the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee , and the mother of Jesus was there .

Whether it was the third day after that our Saviour had left the Province of Iudea, or the third day after Philip came to him, or after Peter, or Nathan[illegible: 1 letter]el came to him, is hardly worth the disputing; if it be to be interpreted with relation to v. 43. of the former Chapter, (which speaks of the day following) it must be, the third day after Simon came to Christ, there happened to be a marriage in Cana of Galilee. Some reckon three Cities of this name; one in the lot of Manasses, another in the lot of Ephraim, another in the lo[illegible: 1 letter] of Assur. This Cana is concluded by most Interpreters, to be the same mentioned, Ios. 19.28. which was in the Tribe of Assur. which was in Galilee; some others say, it was another Cana, near to Capernaum.

At this Wedding-feast was the Virgin Mary, our Lords Mother; and 'tis probable, that the persons for whose Marriage the Feast was Solemnized, were some of the Virgins Kindred, or near Relations. Some think from the Virgins taking notice of the want of Wine, that it was a family where she had either a constant charge, or the charge for that day.
