Am I Snooping?

Bumped-into-Facebook friends are better than getting back to being friendly with people you know in the past,after all. I have a very sad experience with a facebook friend, tho i wouldnt describe him as just a bumped-into-friend because we have a few engagements in the past as college buddies in several subjects, and were former work colleagues for we have the same agency, and a few times we travelled together on a business engagement but nothing intimate but it was something i would call friendship. I have opened a facebook account and from thereon since i started, i was able to trace my classmates in college and even elementary and highschool mates. Reminiscing has always been the bulk of encounters in email or in sending messages or via chats that facebook offers. A former college classmate added me on his facebook account after we have connected several times on emails and then just recently he added me as a friend on his facebook as I did do the same on my facebook. As a friend on his friends list i assumed that I am allowed to browse on his profile including photo albums as he could also browse on my profile. Excitement kept me from asking him if its true or not when I read his comment on one of his photos, that he is getting married next month to a fil-am from DavaoPhilippines, so i sent him a message asking him if it is true. He confirmed that it is indeed true, but he asked me where I learnt it, so i told him I got the information from his facebook. I was so surprised when I got an email from him telling me that he thinks I am such a good FBI agent in finding out about his marriage plans, and I thought it meant as a joke, only to find out that it was not. I thought his next emails were already not good for he told me that he is no longer comfortable with me and that he doesnt "other people" snooping on other peoples live. He also told me that he no longer sure if adding me to his friends' list is a right decision on his part, and said to me as his final note, that he hates saying it. I was so downtrodden and took everything he said to me as obnoxious as so i promptly told him that for his peace of mind and mine too, I am deleting his profile on mylist and that I am asking him to delete my profile on his and I dont want us to get in touch with each other from then on. I told him as my final note, that getting married is an important even in one's life that you would be proud to shout to the whole world and that I am happy for him that finally he did at 53...Hmmmmm...I lost a "friend" as fast as I added him on my facebook...Anyone over here who can relate to my sad experience?
