Am I being unreasonable by being upset over this?

My boyfriend and I had previously planned to meet on a certain day last week. We meet once a week on average. The day before we were supposed to meet he cancelled as his friend was having a last minute birthday gathering. He rearranged to next week and at the time I just shrugged it off but now I’m probably overthinking and feeling bad about the situation. I think the main thing in my mind is how we had already made plans beforehand and he cancelled last minute. Of course I do want him to spend time with his friends and have a life outside of the relationship, but it hurts when it involves cancelling our plans. Like I wouldn’t make him cancel his plans with his friends just to see me, it just doesn’t seem fair either way. I just feel like he doesn’t prioritise me. Best case scenario would’ve been to see me either before or after the gathering as didn’t last the whole day. But I didn’t want to tell him what to do, I just didn’t say anything. Generally he is a good boyfriend, but I’m now doubting whether he prioritises me or does he only see me if it’s convenient for him? Am I right to be upset/disappointed about this?

It's a bit unreasonable to let the idea run riot like you seem to be, he rearranged 1 day for an event, but you're talking like it's thrown the whole relationship into doubt. I get he cancelled last min, but that wasn't his plan was it? he'll have been caught at short notice just the same as you and mibbie didn't want to let their friend down on their birthday *or even forgot), and maybe doesn't want to cram two events into one day? I'm not keen on that.
