Just separating the old and new testaments makes the christian side of the holy book look absurdly small.
Back on the issue with parables, the main issue is that they're up to interpretation. As soon as you say it's not literally about a wedding, you're leaving it up to the audience to interpret what it means. And not everyone is going to take away the same lesson that you do. Or that the author intends.
