Ok I already know I am being unreasonable, it's DPs sister, but I reeeeeeally don't want to go!
I don't like weddings anyway, but I'm especially dreading this one. His sister is just awful, acts like a spoilt princess at the best of times but is now the bridezilla from hell!
If we visit his parents and she is there, we can't mention buying our house or she gets cross that we aren't focused on her wedding, and yesterday when his mum started asking me about any ideas we've had for our wedding, she gave me the most awful look and loudly announced that there would only be her wedding this year so her mum should be focusing on that, not another one that isn't booked yet! I didn't want to tall about our bloody wedding, getting married is something me and DP will do but I am really not arsed about wedding planning and it will be very, very low key, so I resent being looked at as some awful thunder-stealer! Herr attitude whenever the conversation is about anything other than her wedding is just truly grim.
On top of this, I hate the way I look and we are buying a new house as we speak, so money is tight so I'm stressing about my outfit and what I'm going to wear. She said that she expects her guests to wear designer outfits as anything cheaper would ruin her day and the photographs 
I have already managed to get out of the 3, yes 3, hen parties, but my DP really wants me to go with him to the wedding and take the children so I don't feel like I can say no.
Although she had never been directly hostile to me, I get the distinct impression that she really doesn't like me, probably as we are so different, and I feel as though I won't measure up on the day,and she'll mock me for my outfit etc.
Would it be unreasonable of me to contract food poisoning so I can't go?! only half joking
AIBU?
To not go to DPs sisters wedding?!

No I know, I really will have to go. At least I'll have the kids to keep me company - DP is wedding party so won't see much of him. It's been made quite clear that she'll need him for "most of the day, and the evening too"
I'll just slip out early, the joy of having tired kids as an excuse!
sounds like my idea of torture, but I'm afraid you probably do have to go, mainly as your DP has asked you to. The fact you won't really see him all day/night sounds extra rubbish though. I'm with using the kids as an early get out excuse if it's unbearable!
I know, I can't let DP down, but my god do I want to!
I'll just keep my distance, have a dance with my DDs and get out of there ASAP!
She sounds like the sort of Princess that will be too busy bossing around the wedding party and showing off to guests to even give you a second glance.
Then you can sneak out the back early with your overtired children because you 'don't want them to spoil it for her'.
rain you might be right! I'm sure she'll have a baby next, and that'll be ad though no one else has ever had a child!
DP joked about proposing at the wedding, and announcing our next child too! Our lives wouldn't be worth living after that!
Much as I would say YANBU and that you shouldn't go, I agree that you need to go.
She does sound like a spoilt brat. I can wish rain for her wedding day if you like
