Went to a wedding in recent past. I actually didn't want to go; but was forced to go because I received multiple invitations. Nowadays I dislike to attend weddings as formality. Why should attending weddings (or similar functions) be considered as a measure of friendship or something similar?
Wedding is an important event in somebody's life. It is ok for him/her to believe that his or her friends/relatives also should believe the same. What if they don't believe so? Are they allowed to have the opinion that going to wedding is a formality? If yes, then the friendship or relationship shouldn't be measured depending on whether somebody is present or not for the wedding/function.
In general, the question is whether one accepts that whatever one feels or believes is one's feeling or belief. The rest of the people might feel the same or might not feel the same way. I am learning to accept that whatever that is not 'proven' and is just what I believe is my belief only. Rest might have different opinions.
