'space' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stretch the french wedding participant' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'participant' could be 'groom' (groom is a kind of participant) and 'groom' is present in the answer.
'the french' could be 'le' ('the' in French) and 'le' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.
