Sorry to pick at words, but I don't think Seymour went through
with the WEDDING so much as with the marriage. That is, I think
he really wanted to marry Muriel, but he wasn't feeling up (or
down, rather, since his excuse was he was "too happy") to the
ceremony with family and friends.
I don't know. It's a very Literal Reading, which the works of
Salinger seem to inherently discourage, but until something better
comes along (anyone? please?), I'm stuck there.
