Take yourself out of it for a moment and imagine how your brother would feel if you didn’t come. If you know he’ll be hurt then just go. If possible, bring a friend to help buffer all the chaos of this event..
Make sure you're not doing it for attention but blowing off a sibling's wedding is not like blowing off a coworker's (which I do all the time -- I just happen to have colonoscopies scheduled on the same days).
Get there late, leave early, try to pick up some bridesmaid.

Yeah, I said that he should show up, I didn't say he had to stay a long time.
So I should just go to make everyone feel at ease and that's what adults do? I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. And that goes against my normal routine. I'm an adult and I'm allowed to make my own decisions.
You guys go to places where don't want to go . . . . you do things you don't want to do, and for what? Just to conform and please people. Sounds like a sad existence if you ask me.
Yes, it is. If you can't understand this you've got bigger problems than going to your brothers wedding.

Doing things just for social conformity purposes is different.
It's not for "social conformity" It's for family, for the relationship you have with him. Not going to someone's wedding is a HUGE way to make a statement. It's a few hours, of one day of your whole life that could save you a lot of future drama and grief.

You still haven't answered my Question as to why you are trying to avoid your brother's wedding besides the shoving your thumb into your mouth silly excuses about Marriage.
It's pretty clear after what you've posted that you're just super jealous of the fact that your brother found someone to love and marry and you're still single. And rather than being completely honest about your jelousy, you're making up all of this B's about not believing in marriage and blah blah whatever else nonsense you've said.
My sister just got married last weekend. I've never been more happy for her and I've never seen her more happy. It was an honor to be there and to welcome my new brother in law and his family to my family. I have also been sick for the past two weeks with a flu that hasn't gone away but I still traveled and attended the wedding because she's my sister and I'd never ever considered missing it for anything!

This is what everyone wants their siblings to be like.
Way to go, ChiGal!
