+1 Zippy,
Isn't all this huniliation stuff really a bit passe?
sorry to wizz on your campfire but...
It seems like a fairly quiet intimate affair with only three of you, so he seems a quiet kind of guy with nice interests why risk damaging that friendship on the eve of his wedding.
If he's about to set off on a new life with a wife it won't take much for him to find the reason to drop his old mates especialy if their contribution to such a big event is to marr it by behaving like c0cks.
