Going to France to study would change your life forever. It could give you a boost in your future, and help with your proficiency in a second language.
If someone can't attend your brother's wedding, do you think he'll be put off for too long? Will his soul be tormented day in and day out because you weren't there? Not at all. He knows what kind of an opportunity you have in this study program, and it would be selfish to demand that you give that up so you can be there.
My fiance was the best man at a wedding, but couldn't be there because he was deployed. He ended up recording a video speech to send to his friend. You could make a little video, or even have someone Skype the ceremony! [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]

But in all seriousness, I'd go to France. Besides, the odds are pretty good he'll get married again eventually. [ Matt's advice column | Ask Matt A Question ]
