Sorry to leave you hanging...
Yes, my brother went to the wedding after Part 1 but it was a win-win-win situation. He loved the first part so much he bought tickets for his family of four (he has two young kids himself) to see both parts in early 2018. I sold the ticket at 75% off face value to a message board member who sent me the nicest PM explaining that he couldn't afford tickets to the show but would love to see it... he was a delightful seat-mate for the show and we had fantastic pre- and post-show conversations about the show and our respective lives. (Shout out to Joe, if you're reading this!) Honestly, every "in real life" interaction I've had through this message board has been positive and reaffirms there are kind, wonderful people still out there. Yes, I lost a little $$ on the ticket but I had a great night with a new friend. Keep the kindness flowing, HP fans!
So yes, WayTooBroadway: Life > live theater :)
