Sergio,
You of all people have the best excuse.All you have to do is say" I just booked a 6 month gig. I'll be on the road starting...(What day did you say the wedding is?)". ;)

I'm guessing that the truth won't work? Sometimes that's the easiest. since that's the case, just say you have a prior committment to:
a)gig (that was a good one)
b)work
c)bought non refundable tickets for a ski trip

Just ignore it, and maybe it'll go away.

It might not work if the truth is:
1. You don't know me, but only invited me so I'd bring a gift;
2. My trip to the wedding will probably last longer than the marriage;
3. What's the point of making it "legal" after all these years? I can think of a lot more entertaining events that won't cost me as much.
I actually asked the last question recently and was told that she was pregnant again and figured she'd never be able to get into her wedding dress after this one.

No, this is not my wedding, I have been happily married for 26 years.

It is a family wedding and I got to find the best excuse not to attend.

There are many good ones here, thanks guys, please keep'em coming.

Okay, you asked for it. Try this....
"Well, witnessing your fiancee commit to going from 5 guys down to just one will be worth it!"
If you don't get un-invited, at least they won't care that you don't show up.
