The children of the bride - chamber; the companions of the bridegroom during the marriage-feast. Judges 14:10-11.

Then shall they fast; fasting is an expression of sorrow, not suitable for the marriage-feast while the bridegroom is still present. So Christ is the bridegroom of the church. While he was personally present with his disciples, it was not suitable that they should fast. After his removal from them, they would have trials that would make fasting proper.
