How serious are your commitments? Beach party like someone else on this site? I'd go.
You´d better go the wedding, maybe you´ll meet some interesting characters [future career opportunities]...
The problem is I do not know how to schmooze lol and I'm not very social

If you're not very social then you have nothing to worry about especially since you won't get a job worth a shit anywhere, unless you're a quant.
Oh, I'd go and work on those social skills.
you don't need to "schmooze"
but there is a chance that a few years from now the words "hey, didn't we meet at X's wedding?" may come in handy
Go. Where are you prior commitments? Unless it's a funeral, a book signing, or another wedding, you have no excuse not to go.
Watch Wedding Crashers before you go. It'll show you everything you need to know about socializing at weddings.
who cares? if you dont want to go, then dont go...
it amazes me how worrisome people are on this forum about stupid little things. op, you clearly said you have no interest in pursuing this firm post summer internship so why even bother thinking about it. no person will honestly have a chip on their shoulder if you cant commit to something because you already had plans. wow
It's a networking opportunity and we have no idea what his "commitment" is. If the commitment is not hard to move around or not that important, networking would be more useful.
If the commitment is meeting up some friends, I would say the networking is better suited. If out-of-town family members are visiting, then it would be more understandable to pass. But op should give going to the wedding a good look.
I would go. Agree with the person who said its absolutely a networking opportunity. Worst case scenario, you may have fun and meet a few single women.
Attend the wedding.

You motorboating son of a bitch :)
Open bar?
Go to the wedding.
