I'm going to echo a lot of what has already been said: you have to let it go, as he probably didn't even realize it meant that much to you, and relationships can't always last forever, especially when they're long distance. I have a friend who I used to be very close with, I mean I could talk to him about anything, and be completely myself around him (now I'm usually myself around everyone, but that's another story). Anyway, he moved away a few years back, and he only lives two hours away, but I'm not nearly as close to him as I used to be. The problem is that during those few years after he moved, I went through a lot of changes in my life. In many ways I'm a very different person now. The closest friends that I have now were there with me while I changed, but he wasn't. Not only that, but he's exactly the same guy that he was, and so he still thinks of himself as my best friend. And he's kind of a reminder of things I don't want to be reminded of.
Point is, you haven't really been in touch for six years (and four of those years were college, during which a lot can happen), and I'm guessing your friend's life has changed, as evidenced by him getting married, which is one of the biggest changes someone can go through. You weren't around for it, and he still remembers the good times you had, but things are different now. He probably feels like he doesn't really know you anymore, and especially after the wedding incident, you probably feel the same way. Friends never sign a contract. They can break it off at anytime. It sucks, but it happens.
However, not picking you up to go into town qualifies him as an asshole.
I realize now that I wrote a lot and most of it is useless. Sorry. I think I just had to get that off my chest because I'm seeing my friend tomorrow and most of the people I would usually talk to about this kind of stuff were/are/will be unavailable.
