Good grief. Do you care for your brother or sister? That's what matters. To not go is to tell your sister or brother that they don't matter to you. Suck it up and go. It's two freaking hours out of your life.
I mean, hell, I have a niece whom I don't care much for. But my brother-in-law and his wife are good and kind people. So I will go because not going would hurt their feelings. I'm amazed that people really don't think about this stuff.
If yo are not close to him you were probably invited out of courtesy and won't be missed. Just tell them you can't make it. Make sure to send a nice gift (not necessarily expensive) and a card to congratulate the happy couple.
Nephew is getting married, but we don't want to go.
That's it, just don't want to attend.
He lives very close to us. But we re not close to him.
Hmm we need a good reason but don't want to estrange anyone.
If you really don't want to estrange anyone, you'll suck it up and go to the wedding.

God, if people are going to be estranged by someone declining a wedding invitation from them because they have other to do, they have bigger problems, to say the least.

Honestly, if you really don't want to estrange anyone, just send a gift.
I have seen people literally sweating who WILL return an affirmative RSVP, b/c they felt they HAD to invite people or the folks would be offended to be left out - but the parents of the bride are truly hoping they will NOT have to pay for a meal for all those invited guests, lol.
Many a father-of-the-bride has kept his fingers crossed that out of those 200 hundred invitations, only 100 will be at a sit down dinner!
The key is . . . sending a gift. You can skip every single wedding from here on out and chances are no one will be upset - as long as you send a gift!
