AITA for leaving a friend's wedding a bit early?

ESH, Everybody Sucks Here but you mainly.

You knew in April that you would not be able to swing the required money outlay, that was the time to plainly drop out and attend only as a guest. Instead, you waited til July to bring up the issue and continued leaving the door open for others to help out. Guilt trip or not, you should have stuck to the "no." Leaving the reception that early, after the Best Man paid for you to stay in the wedding party, that was rude and disrespectful.

Bride/groom probably pushed for you to stay involved because they didn't want an "uneven" wedding party, that's superficial but whatever. They should have let you go even at the last minute instead of hassling you, so they're assholes as well.
