Generally it is not a good idea to crash a wedding, however you might have wanted to go, or feel you should have been allowed to go.
There are after all several other reasons why you may not have been invited, the couple may have decided to only invite their closest friends and family to a small ceremony for example. Another reason could be that they simply forgot to invite you, but then again if they are a good friend this is usually unlikely, especially if you know that people they know less well have been remembered.

They could also simply have gotten the addresses confused, and are in the awkward position themselves of not mentioning it unless you had decided not to go and so didn't RSVP on purpose. in this case you should try to ask around with people closest to them to see if you can decipher what has actually happened, if the person you talk to seems defensive and unresponsive then they probably knowingly didn't invite you. However if they say you should have been and that there was some sort of mix up then it would be acceptable to crash the wedding, although personally i would still speak to the Bride or groom first.
Another way of finding out whats happened could be to arrange to meet either the bride or groom socially before the wedding, which of course will be the main point of conversation, and you can bring the subject of invites up.
