How do I respond to an invitation to a gay wedding?

Hi,

I have a friend who lives in California and he has just sent me a “marriage” announcement. I like and worked with this man, long ago, he’s a very nice man; however, I am not sure how I should respond to this? I understand about the whole “love the sinner, not the sin” thing, but is it proper for me to say “congratulations” to him? I am not happy that he has chosen this lifestyle, nor that he has taken it to this level; but, at the same time I don’t want to be mean and not respond at all??

Thanks
