Should we not fast at a wedding if we are friends of the bridegroom? and...
Mark 2
18And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
19And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
21No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
22And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
23And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
26How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath
So do you think noone should be fasting at a wedding when there is no church fast?... and still should they not fast if there is a church fast?
And what does verse 21 and 22 mean?
Why in verse 28 is it written? Son of Man and not Son of God?
Is it related to verse 27?
and why does He say? "Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath" ?

he will not leave us alone like orphans, who's parents have died or left them, he will come back for us
These verses have nothing to do with fasting during modern day weddings. If a wedding happens to lie on a day of fasting, which they rarely do, the fast must still be observed.
Verse 28 serves as a reminder to us that Jesus is God in the flesh. He is BOTH God and Man.
Please consider investing in an Orthodox Study Bible. They are very good in explaining issues like this.
