Met a Old Friend

Last Sat we met up with a friend whom we had last seen seen 4-6 yrs ago. He initiated the gathering. Before he did not contact us was that he was attached with a GF. He was my so call best friend. Now he has signed on as a regular with SAF. As we where chatting, we going to know that his plans was to get married in another 2 yrs time. Was this gathering part of his plan ? It seems to me as though he is trying to get back to all his friends so that he could have more ppl in his invitation list.
