Leblanc Absent From Aniston's Wedding: Why Wasn't He Invited?

Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry were not invited to Jennifer Aniston's wedding to Justin Theroux in 2015. The ceremony was exclusive, with only 70 guests in attendance, and it seems the male cast members of Friends were not close enough to Aniston to make the list. However, LeBlanc and Perry both wished the couple well, with LeBlanc stating that he didn't feel disappointed and that he only cared about Aniston's happiness.

Matt LeBlanc was not invited to Jennifer Aniston's first wedding either

Matt LeBlanc was not invited to Jennifer Aniston's wedding to Justin Theroux in 2015. However, this was not the first time LeBlanc had missed Aniston's big day. The actor, who played Joey Tribbiani on Friends, was also not invited to Aniston's first wedding to Brad Pitt.

When asked about why he wasn't at Aniston's wedding to Pitt, LeBlanc revealed that he was working on a small-budget movie in Austria at the time. He told People:

> "I missed when she married Brad [Pitt], I was in Austria working. She called me, and she was like, 'You’re really not coming to my wedding?' And I was like, 'I asked them if they could change the schedule. I would fly and clap and fly out.' And they said, 'We can’t do it. It’s too tight.' It was a small-budget movie in Austria you’ve never heard of. Probably should have left anyway, but s— happens. What are you going to do?"

LeBlanc also addressed his absence from Aniston's second wedding, explaining that he wasn't disappointed about not being invited and that he only cared about Aniston's happiness. He said:

> "I think they’re a great couple. I think she’s happy. And that’s all I care about is that Jen’s happy. If she wanted me there, I would have been there."

LeBlanc's comments highlight the close bond he shared with the cast of Friends, whom he considered family. He described Aniston as being like a little sister to him.

While Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, Aniston's Friends co-stars, were in attendance at her wedding to Theroux, the male cast members were notably absent. However, there do not appear to be any hard feelings between Aniston and the uninvited cast members.

LeBlanc was surprised but wished the couple well

Matt LeBlanc was surprised to find out that he wasn't invited to Jennifer Aniston's wedding to Justin Theroux. In fact, none of the male Friends co-stars were invited, with only Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow in attendance.

LeBlanc, who was promoting his Showtime show Episodes at the time, was asked about Aniston's wedding during the 2015 Television Critics Association press tour. He said:

> "I think they're a great couple. I think she's happy. And that's all I care about is that Jen's happy. If she wanted me there, I would have been there."

LeBlanc also revealed that he missed Aniston's first wedding to Brad Pitt due to filming commitments in Austria. He explained that he had asked the production team to change the schedule so he could attend, but they were unable to accommodate his request.

Despite not being invited to the wedding, LeBlanc emphasised the special bond he shared with the Friends cast, saying:

> "Jen's like my little sister, Courteney [Cox] and Lisa [Kudrow] are like my big sisters, but Jen's like my little sister. Matthew [Perry]'s like my little brother and David [Schwimmer]'s like my big brother. That's how it all broke down. And it's literally just like chronological."

LeBlanc's well-wishes for the couple reflect his surprise at not being invited, but also his maturity and respect for his former co-star.

The wedding was small, which is why he wasn't invited

Matt LeBlanc was not invited to Jennifer Aniston's wedding to Justin Theroux in 2015. The wedding was a small, intimate affair with around 70 guests. It was held in the backyard of Aniston and Theroux's Bel Air home. The guest list was very exclusive, and only Aniston's closest friends and family were invited.

LeBlanc addressed the situation, saying that he was not disappointed about not receiving an invitation. He explained that he had missed Aniston's wedding to Brad Pitt due to work commitments, and that he understood the wedding to Theroux was a private event. "I think they're a great couple. I think she's happy. And that's all I care about is that Jen's happy," LeBlanc said. "If she wanted me there, I would have been there."

LeBlanc also emphasised the special bond he shared with the cast of "Friends", including Aniston. "Jen's like my little sister, Courteney [Cox] and Lisa [Kudrow] are like my big sisters, but Jen's like my little sister. Matthew [Perry]'s like my little brother and David [Schwimmer]'s like my big brother, he said. "That's how it all broke down. And it's literally just like chronological."

Aniston and LeBlanc formed a close relationship during their time working together on "Friends". Despite not being invited to her wedding, LeBlanc wished Aniston well and expressed his support for her. He also stated that there were no hard feelings between them.

LeBlanc and Aniston are still on good terms

Matt LeBlanc and Jennifer Aniston are still on good terms, despite LeBlanc not being invited to Aniston's wedding to Justin Theroux in 2015.

LeBlanc didn't seem disappointed about not receiving an invitation to the wedding, explaining that the wedding "was small", and that is probably why he wasn't invited. He also emphasised that he had no hard feelings towards Aniston, saying: "I wasn't there, so I wish her the best... Everybody is okay... The girls were there. You've got to have the girls there."

LeBlanc also said some kind words about the couple, stating: "I think they're a great couple. I think she's happy. And that's all I care about is that Jen's happy. If she wanted me there, I would have been there."

Aniston and LeBlanc also shared a close bond while filming Friends, with LeBlanc saying: "Jen's like my little sister. Courteney [Cox] and Lisa [Kudrow] are like my big sisters, but Jen's like my little sister. Matthew's [Perry] like my little brother, and David [Schwimmer]'s like my big brother. That's how it all broke down. And it's literally just like chronological."

Only the female Friends co-stars were invited

While Jennifer Aniston's wedding to Justin Theroux in 2015 was a relatively intimate affair, with around 70 guests, it still came as a surprise to many that not all of the Friends cast made the invite list.

Aniston's female co-stars, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, were considered close enough to attend their friend's big day. Cox, in fact, was the maid of honour. Aniston and Cox have remained especially close over the years, with Cox even naming Aniston as the godmother of her child.

Aniston revealed that she and Cox are extremely loyal to each other and that she has slept in Cox's guest bedroom a lot. Kudrow agreed with this perspective, saying that there is "no agenda" and that you can "trust her [Cox] completely and fully".

While the male Friends cast members were not invited, it seems that there were no hard feelings. Matt LeBlanc said, "I wasn't there, so I wish her the best... The girls were there. You've got to have the girls there". He also emphasised the special bond he shared with the cast, saying, "Jen's like my little sister, Courteney [Cox] and Lisa [Kudrow] are like my big sisters".
