Considerations on Friendships

Recently, I have been doing a lot of thinking about friendship. Mainly because it seems as though most of my friends are getting married and they're all doing it in the month of October, except for Best Friend from College #1, who got married in June.
The reason I've been thinking about this is because of the previously mentioned moratorium on social activities due to the commencement of post graduate studying. How do you choose between which, if any, wedding to attend? Do you attend High School Friend's wedding? This is the person that I've known for almost twenty years - one of the few people that's watched me grow up through the years into the person I am today. How do I tell her that studying is more important than her wedding?
And what about Best Friend from College #2? Her wedding is the weekend after High School Friend's wedding. Do I blow off her wedding so I can attend High School Friend's wedding? Do I say screw the books and just go to both weddings? What does that say about my willingness to put in the time for my future?
I'm confused and torn.
