So. Yeah. Hit me with the likes and dislike and the whatnot.

So Problem
I have a close male friend who I’ve had since I was about 18 and we’ve been great friends. There has never been any kind of physical relationship with him but I’ve always had a feeling he’s had a bit of a crush on me but he’s never asked me out or made any kind of intimate attempt.
He’s getting married this summer and I don’t think his girlfriend has ever been that fond of me. I can kind of understand why but I have never done anything to actively take her boyfriend away from her and I’m careful not to give cause for concern.
I’ve been invited to the wedding. I had confided in him that I was in two minds about my own relationship a couple of months ago and he had given some advice, but I got myself sorted with my boyfriend since. I was out a few weeks ago with my friend and a couple of other friends, and he started slagging me, saying that he had a few bachelors at the wedding for me. I ignored it.
Later, when the groom was gone, his friend blurted out that “The bride does not want you at the wedding – the groom loves you and the bride hates you”
I pretended I didn’t notice anything. I’m upset on a number of levels; my boyfriend will be uncomfortable if he comes, I don’t know if I can stay friends with my old buddy and I don’t know if I should go to the wedding.
Any advice.
