Nick Carter reportedly snubbed his sister's wedding.
The Backstreet Boys star was expected to walk his younger sibling, Angel, down the aisle at her wedding to Corey Conrad at Newhall Mansion in Piru, California on Saturday (08.02.14), but opted to celebrate his own upcoming nuptials in Las Vegas instead.
The 'Everybody' hitmaker, 34, was noticeably absent from the ceremony, according to UsMagazine.com, but 26-year-old Angel's twin brother, Aaron Carter, was on hand to escort her on his own.
Meanwhile, Nick and his bride-to-be, Lauren Kitt, celebrated at a joint bachelor and bachelorette party at the Palms Hotel and Ghost Bar with approximately 15 friends.
The singer was clearly looking forward to the event as he shared a picture of their gift bags and champagne on Twitter on Friday (07.02.14), with the caption: "It's about to go down at @palms just entered the room of ecstasy."
Nick previously admitted his relationship with his family "has been toxic" at times and even claimed they blamed him for the death of his younger sister Leslie from an overdose in 2012.
The heartthrob skipped her funeral in favour of performing a scheduled concert and later told the 'Dr. Phil' show: "The communication is something that I'm still to this day trying to work on. ... It's tough when you come from a background like that and a home that is really up and down and roller-coaster."

Jessica Alba gave Gwen Stefani a hamper of "practical items" for her baby shower.
The No Doubt singer, who is expecting a baby boy with her husband, Gavin Rossdale, in the near future, was treated to lots of luxurious gifts by her pals, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale and Nicole Richie, as she celebrated the impending arrival of her third child at the Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles on Saturday (08.02.14).
A source told E! News that Jessica, who has daughters Honour, five, and two-year-old Haven, opted to give the 'Settle Down' hitmaker a "dinosaur storage bin full of toys, books and clothes," along with a $125 diaper cake from her brand The Honest Company, filled with organic goodies, including bubble bath, body lotion, healing balm and 92 diapers.
An insider also told PEOPLE.com: "She had tons of items picked out and put in a huge 3Sprouts dinosaur basket from Bel Bambini. She filled it with practical items."
Gwen looked "radiant" at the party and a friend said: "As she walked over the bridge and joined her friends she had a big smile on her face and was giving everyone hugs. There was a big welcome cheer for her and she seemed very grateful for all of the love."
The blonde beauty, who already has sons Kingston, seven, and Zuma, five, also received lots of designer gifts.
A source said: "Other guests brought baby clothes from Chanel and Bonpoint. There were tons of gifts that were all wheeled out on a luggage cart and put in Gwen's car."

Shia LaBeouf wore a brown paper bag over his head to the German premiere of his new movie.
The 27-year-old actor, who announced he was retiring from "all public life" last month, refused to show his face at a red carpet screening of 'Nymphomaniac' in Berlin on Sunday night (09.02.14).
He cut two eye-holes into the bag and wrote the words "I'm Not Famous Anymore" in black capital letters on it before placing it over his head and attending the event in a dapper tuxedo, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
The 'Transformers' star was clearly eager to make a statement just an hour after storming out of a press conference for the movie.
When asked if it was uncomfortable filming sex scenes for the film, Shia let his co-star Stacy Martin answer first.
After hesitating for a moment, the dishevelled-looking star, who was missing a bottom tooth, then quoted retired French soccer player Eric Cantona's famous words to answer unwanted media attention: "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much."
He then walked off stage much to the amusement of Stacy.
Shia announced in January that he was taking a step back from the limelight after he was forced to apologise for plagiarising author Daniel Clowes' graphic novellas, 'Justin M. Damiano,' for his short film 'HowardCantour.com'.
He wrote on Twitter: "In light of the recent attacks against my artistic integrity, I am retiring from all public life."
He added: "My love goes out to those who have supported me. #stopcreating."

Victoria Beckham received a special good luck note before her fashion show.
The former Spice Girl was sent a "beautiful message" from her husband, David Beckham, and their four children, Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and two-year-old Harper before presenting her latest collection at New York Fashion Week on Sunday (09.02.14).
The 39-year-old designer took a snap of the well-wishes, which read: "Good luck Mommy, love David, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper xxxxx," and shared it on Twitter, with the caption: "Beautiful message from my babies x vb."
The brunette beauty clearly appreciated the support of her family as David, 38, and their children also had front row seats at the presentation.
Although the Beckham clan currently live in London, the retired footballer recently sparked speculation they could relocate to Miami, Florida in the future after he announced he is launching a Major League Soccer club there.
Speaking at a press conference earlier this week, he said: "This is an exciting time for myself, family and friends. We're really looking forward to bringing this to Miami."
A spokesperson for the star also told the MailOnline website: "Victoria and the children are thrilled by this next adventure in their life story, as a family they love America and are all very excited to explore a new city and spend time in beautiful Miami."

Jennifer Hudson has learnt to embrace her figure.
The 'Feeling Good' hitmaker, who lost 80 pounds after first signing up as a Weight Watchers spokesperson a few years ago, admits she no longer feels self-conscious on the red carpet.
Wearing a short white dress with a plunging neckline, the 32-year-old star told USA Today newspaper at the BET Honours 2014 in Washington D.C. on Saturday night (08.02.14): "You need to embrace yourself, find those things that you love about yourself and know that no one is like you, and own being you."
Jennifer recently admitted she is much more comfortable with who she is since entering her thirties.
She said: "I love the thirties. I'm like, now I got the hang of it and being settled with myself and embracing it. I love the space that I'm in."
Meanwhile, rapper and actor Ice Cube, legendary singer Aretha Franklin, Motown founder and visionary Berry Gordy, photographer Carrie Mae Weems and American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault were among those honoured at the annual event.
Mariah Carey wowed the audience by performing her new single, 'You're Mine,' for the first time in a black, cleavage-baring dress atop a piano.
Hosted by 'How I Met Your Mother' star Wayne Brady, the BET Honours will air February 24 on BET.

Justin Bieber was allegedly speeding hours before he was arrested in Miami last month.
The 19-year-old star was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving with an invalid licence on January 23, but the singer's yellow rented Lamborghini reached 136 MPH at 1.23 a.m., long before he was pulled over by police shortly after 4 a.m.
According to data, obtained by TMZ.com, from the car's built-in GPS tracking system, which recorded its speed and location at all times, the vehicle clocked 108 MPH on the Julia Tuttle Causeway in Miami Beach and accelerated to 136 MPH within a minute while being driven to Set nightclub, where the singer arrived at 2.27 a.m. and partied for an hour before leaving.
But the data also shows that Justin was cruising under the speed limit at 27 MPH when he was arrested and accused of drag racing at between 55 and 60 MPH for 15 blocks.
The 'Heartbreaker' hitmaker is set to appear in court in Florida in relation to the charges on March 3.
Justin's lawyer Roy Black has already filed a written plea of not guilty.
Meanwhile, his lawyers are fighting to stop half-naked pictures of the star in police custody being published.
The images were taken when he was arrested and sources say they expose "intimate" parts of his body.

The No Doubt rocker, who recently confirmed she is expecting another baby boy with her husband Gavin Rossdale, was joined by her close friends, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie, for the blue-themed bash at the Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "People cheered as soon as she walked in.
"There were lots of people laughing and it seemed like everyone was having a lot of fun. It was very lively!"
The blonde beauty, 44, arrived with Gwyneth and was ushered into a private room that was decorated with light blue lights, bouquets of white hydrangeas, a banner that said "SWEET," and "guests were greeted with glasses of red or white wine."
Other guests at the afternoon tea party included chat show host Chelsea Handler, celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe and Tobey Maguire's jewellery designer wife, Jen Meyer.
Gwen posted a photograph of a table of blue sweet treats at the event on her Instagram page on Saturday, with the caption: "Baby shower!!! #can't believe im pregs thanku Shelli Azoff for a beautiful #girlyday =blessed (sic)"

Bruce Willis whisked Emma Heming-Willis away on a babymoon ahead of the birth of their second child.
The 'Diehard' star and his 35-year-old model wife, who are already parents to daughter Mabel, 21 months, recently returned from a romantic trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands, where the 58-year-old actor owns a home.
An insider told UsMagazine.com: "The babymoon was at Bruce's place in Parrot Cay."
Emma posted a photograph of herself looking happy and relaxed on the beach during their holiday on her Facebook page with the caption: "#BabyMoon 2014 Photo: B. Willis"
She also shared a picture of her famous husband flying a kite on the beach and wrote: "A man with many hidden talents #KiteFlying"
It was first revealed in December that the couple, who married five years ago, are expecting another baby.
Bruce also has three daughters, Rumer, 25, Scout, 22, and Tallulah, 20, with his ex-wife Demi Moore, and the source suggested the actor wouldn't mind having another baby girl.
The insider said: "[Bruce is] adorable with Mabel and all of his girls. It's hilarious to see the tough guy stereotype just melt away. He'll put on a baby voice, get cute with her. Being a dad is no doubt the most important thing for him."
Emma appears to be equally close to Bruce's other daughters as shortly after returning from their holiday, the couple helped Tallulah celebrate her birthday in New York City.
The brunette beauty shared a photo of her youngest stepdaughter on February 3, with the caption: "So proud of the woman you're becoming. Thank you for allowing me into your world. Happy Birthday @buuski #proudstepmom"

Jake Gyllenhaal has been spotted with a new mystery woman in New York City.
The 'End of Watch' star, who recently ended his six-month relationship with model Alyssa Miller, sparked speculation he has already moved on as he strolled around SoHo with a pretty brunette woman on Saturday (08.02.14).
The 33-year-old actor looked scruffy and extremely relaxed as he chatted with his companion, who wore matching snow boots, according to the MailOnline website.
Jake is currently shooting his upcoming film 'Everest,' about a 1996 hiking disaster that left eight climbers dead, in Italy, Iceland and Nepal but flew back to New York to attend Philip Seymour Hoffman's funeral with his pal Michelle Williams on Friday (07.02.14).
The duo formed a close friendship on the set of 'Brokeback Mountain' in 2005, and Jake is the godfather to Michelle's eight-year-old daughter, Matilda, with the late Heath Ledger.
A source previously revealed that Jake split from Sports Illustrated beauty Alyssa, 24, in December after they struggled to cope with him relocating to Los Angeles to film his upcoming movie 'Nightcrawler'.
The insider said: "They fizzled out. It happened a while ago -- before the holidays. He's back on the scene.
"Things were really good between Jake and Alyssa right up until he had to leave for L.A. to go shoot a movie [Nightcrawler] in the fall. Then the distance just really got to them."
A friend also confirmed: "They were apart for the holidays, and things weren't good with them even before that. She's very much a long-term relationship girl. He's not as much of that mind-set."
