You mentioned one friend getting married is a guy. Is the other friend getting married that day a girl? If so, perhaps you could go to her bridal shower and not her wedding. And go to your guy friend's wedding since he doesn't get a bridal shower. Just a suggestion.

Is there is anyway that you could attend the ceremony of one and the reception of the other? If doing that is out of the question because there is to much travel distance between the two then go to the friends wedding that you see yourself still good friends with in 5-10 years. Out of all the weddings I attended when I was younger, there is only a handful of them that I still speak to on a regular basis now.

Let the one friend that moved to another city know that you have another wedding on that day and have already committed to it (if necessary, say you were asked to help out on that day in some capacity). Tell him that you will visit him either before or after the wedding so that you can help him celebrate the occassion. He should be understanding. He'll have so much going on that day that he won't even notice that you're not there and will appreciate you letting him know in advance.

Your modern plan seems suitable - each go on your respective weddings for the ceremonies, and so on. and connect up later to congratulate the respective happy couples. the two couples could comprehend your situation -- relatively in case you're so close to to them! If the jobs have been reversed and your uncle became into interior the comparable place as you, you may probably choose him to have the means to need the different couple properly in some unspecified time interior the destiny interior the night too, good?

No you dont!! if the wedding are in the same city, that will be easy for you but there are not?, here i make it simple for you:
1] you have all ready make that choose of going to the wedding of your better friend, that's one is all ready in your head to go!! so just pick that one!!
you said that the other person who is getting marry, you lost word with them for a while right!! and he also move oway to another city!! but he still consider you his friend so please don't let him down ether...so do this:
2} if the weddings are in the same date!! , and you all ready choose to go to the other one it's ok, just send him a letter telling him the what? happend, or you could send him a wedding present by UPS/ mail, so he does not feel left out and tell him sorry that you could not attend to his wedding 'cause you have to go to another wedding that HAPPEN TO BE IN THE SAME DAY!!
well that how i will do it!! or:
3* if you still want to be in both weddings just go to second wedding = go to the church, see that wedding congratuled them,= then go to your other friend wedding party, just as simple!!

This is tooooooo easy, you go to the wedding mass for one and the reception for the other... good luck , also make sure both parties are aware of the situation prior to the events.

buy them both gifts but whomever invitation you get first go to their wedding and let the other know that you got an invitation to the others wedding ahead of time. then maybe leave that wedding and go to the other friends recep[tion.

I had the same problem a few years ago. One was in SW Kansas the other in northern Arkansas. There was no way I could do both. I split the difference. I didn't go to either.

Sounds like you have no choice but to choose...pick to go to your best friend's wedding, but sit down with your other friend and explain why you aren't going to her wedding...she doesn't need an explanation, but it would nice to give her one.

I would go to the one in the city you live in - chances are you might be in that bridal party and need to be of assistance. To your friend in a different city, send her a nice gift and wish her a happy day - tell her to be sure and send lots of pictures!
