Aaron Carter Attends Sister's Wedding, Brother Nick Noticeably Absent

Aaron Carter walked his twin sister Angel down the aisle at her California wedding over the weekend, but their famous brother Nick Carter was noticeably absent from the family affair.

Instead of attending Angel's wedding to Corey Conrad on Sat. Feb. 8, Nick was celebrating his own upcoming nuptials at a joint bachelor and bachelorette party in Las Vegas over the weekend. The 34-year-old Backstreet Boy is engaged to Lauren Kitt and has a long "complicated" history with his family, which may explain his absence.

Fortunately, 26-year-old Aaron was available to walk the bride down the aisle on Saturday while Nick partied at the Palms Hotel and Ghost Bar "with a group of about 15 friends," said a source, according to the Daily Mail.

"It's about to go down @palms just entered the room of ecstasy," Nick posted to Twitter on Friday, followed by several photos taken with friends partying.

Carter's absence at his sister's wedding raised questions about the family, harkening back to an interview with Nick back in February 2012 following the tragic death of his sister Leslie. The singer missed Leslie's funeral in upstate New York, citing his family's "complicated dynamic," according to TMZ.

"I wanted to be at my sister's funeral, but my family has always had a complicated dynamic," he said.

"There are so many emotions for me surrounding the loss of my sister," he added. "I am trying to stay healthy, positive and focused."

Despite any outstanding family feuds, sweet snapshots taken from Angel Carter's wedding surfaced on social media over the weekend. One photo posted to Instagram featured the bride and her twin brother dancing during the reception while guests smiled on.

"Twinning, such a beautiful wedding!! Loves you @angelcarter @coreyconrad @aaroncarter #conradcarterwedding," the caption of the photo read.
