That's how I always envisioned it, partly because the idea is just
so amusing, partly because I think Lily might've made Petunia a
bridesmaid or maid of honor in a last-ditch effort to make peace
with her. But it's pretty hard to be in a wedding party and never
learn the name of the best man.
There's another possibility, though: if Petunia met Vernon after
Lily married James, then she would've been at the wedding without
him, so he wouldn't recognize the name even if Petunia did. In
which case I could easily imagine Petunia never mentioning it.
