Wedding At Cana On The Third Day

"On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee (John 2:1)." From which day is this third day counted from? I found some interesting answers from "Jesus - What might 'on the third day' stand for in John 2:1? - Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange".

One answer said that it was the third day of the week. Thus it is Tuesday.
6th day
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" (John 1:19 ESV)
Sabbath
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29 ESV)
1st day
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, (John 1:35 ESV)
2nd day
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." (John 1:43 ESV)
3rd day
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. (John 2:1 ESV)

Another answer was that Jesus decided to go to Galilee (John 1:43) and on the third day He arrived at Cana for the wedding.
