As for what to do, I suggest arriving outside the church before the
ceremony, and making sure your friends sees you there, and then making
sure he sees you again outside the church after it's over.  With luck
he may not even realise you weren't inside; if he does, at least he
will know that you came for him.

Would that be acceptable, to create the impression that you had participated in a ceremony of AZ?
