Why has this “really good friend” of yours never met your fiancé? How long have you two been together? There was never a time for the two of them to meet before you two got engaged? I’m confused. I’m inclined to lean toward your fiancé. He should come first. Always. If he is uncomfortable inviting a friend to your wedding that he’s never met that should be the end of it. Why is it so important that this man be at your wedding?
A1: Two things (1) a lunch meet up sounds like an after the fact appeasement so she can justify inviting this other guy to their wedding who her fiancé doesn’t want there. If this was a true platonic friend they would’ve met a few times before being engaged or this luncheon would’ve been set up before her fiancé said he didn’t want him at the wedding. (2) I’m assuming this male friend doesn’t live nearby and that’s why they never met in the past. So which is it? The male friend lives nearby and they can meet for lunch and haven’t all these years or the male friend doesn’t live nearby and that’s why they haven’t met. Something isn’t adding up. I’m reading between the lines and calling it like I see it.
I wouldn’t marry someone who was like this 🤷♀️

Is this someone you see regularly? or an out of town friend you’ve been close with for a long time? and i’m assuming it’s a name he’s heard before right? not someone that just came up while making guest lists? there’s a million reasons that it can be hard to meet people, i have friends i haven’t been able to see for a few years for different reasons but that doesn’t make them less my friend’s. unless this is a man he’s never even heard the name of he’s being unreasonable
What’s his reasoning? How many people are invited to the wedding?
Is he ok with girl friends that he’s never met coming?
I also offered to organize a lunch for them to meet but he said no🫠
Then it’s potentially a BS excuse he gave you as to the reason he can’t come.
Which wasn’t a valid reason to begin with, there are many friends who you don’t get to see on a regular basis or as often as you’d like for a number of different reasons.
But I like to look on both sides of a situation.
Is this actually a wedding size and cost issue? And is he just being pragmatic when you are not? Are you already inviting more people than him? One test for you- Would you swap out any one of your current guest list to make room for this friend? If you wouldn’t, then this person may simply be just missing the cut.
Is there a reason he doesn’t want this guy to come that you’re not telling us? Is this an ex? Or someone you’ve hooked up with in the past? In that case, I understand the guy’s opposition and support it.
If it’s TRULY TRULY platonic, then you need to have an honest conversation with him as to the reasons why he is opposed. And not the fake one he’s given. And you need to examine whether this is an isolated incident or one of potentially many others where he tries to control who you interact with. Because that’s only going to get worse after a wedding.
Has your fiance been cheated on in past?

Does he think you are going to cheat on him at y’all’s wedding? This is wild.
