Well, he's not wrong. Weddings are typically incredibly fucking boring.

Sounds like he’s not going to be marrying you anytime soon. He’ll need to suffer through your friend’s tedious wedding to oblige her to endure your boring, piece of crap nuptials.

Hate to say it, but I think he doesn't want to be with you.

He might just be afraid of being there when you catch the bouquet

Could be because he just doesn’t like your friend.

In his defense, it's your best friend. He has no obligation to attend her wedding. They are boring, and so who can blame him? If the shoe was on the other foot and his homie was getting married, you wouldn't wanna go either. Only to party after.

Weddings take too long, and are unnecessary to show you love someone else. People only go to weddings because it usually provides another excuse to get drunk. And kids only go because they're forced.

I think you should look at it as he told you the truth, not trying to makeup reasons he’s unable to attend

If it's important to you, that should be what's important
