If you really feel like you can't do it then maybe your friend would understand if you talk with him and it doesn't have to be a friendship-ending thing but I guess that's pretty socially inappropriate especially being in the wedding party... Whatever you decide I feel your pain and I wish you good luck... maybe you can get a small xanax script to help get you through it.

That sounds harsh about your brother's wedding. At least they haven't asked me to do any kind of speech. That'd be hell for me too.
I think I will talk to him about it. I think it's the right thing to do.
That's a good idea about the xanax too. Those helped me a lot a while back but I can't imagine it's that easy to get a prescription, is it? I also have some mild beta blockers lying around, I'll most likely use those if indeed I end up going. Thank you for your response.
