The Original Poster (OP) is clearly experiencing a significant breach of trust following the revelation that his wife's male friend confessed romantic feelings to her, and she withheld this information until pressured.
The central conflict lies between the OP's strong expectation of complete honesty in marriage and his wife's decision to prioritize avoiding conflict on their wedding day over immediate disclosure of a sensitive emotional event.
Given the depth of the betrayal felt by the OP regarding trust and communication, the core question remains: Can a marriage survive when one partner conceals emotionally significant interactions with another person, and is the demand to cut off the friend a reasonable boundary for rebuilding trust, or an overreach?
