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.
