It was only as he arrived at his mother's house near Cardiff that he realised he had travelled 4,000 miles for best mate Dave's wedding in July 2007 instead of July 2008!
Mr Barclay, a teacher in Toronto for three years, admitted he had assumed Dave's big day was this July when he received his friend's e-mail.
Best bit - Mr Barclay didn't tell his friend the complete truth and even tried to blame his girlfriend as she normally "sorts these things out!"
"He said to me you didn't come home specially for the wedding did you and I lied and said no. And he said "Thank God for that, I thought you were going to charge me for the cost of the (plane) ticket and the present then." Dave Barclay told BBC Radio Wales.
"Well, at least it's assured me a mention in the speech next year, I reckon."

Brilliant - Let's hope Dave's mates chip in and fly him over next year for the wedding!
