AIBU to ditch wedding for holiday?

Team leader has invited our team (10 of us) to her wedding reception on the bank holiday weekend in a couple of months time.

I've not RSVPd yet even though the deadline has passed but I know she thinks I'm going, everyone else is.

My dilemma is, I have a 4 day weekend and I'd prefer to go and visit my best friend who lives in the UAE.

Would I be unreasonable to ditch the wedding and book the flights?

Should I tell her or just pull a sicky on the day?

Or should I just suck it up and go to the reception...

You weren't obligated to go because you were invited but it was rude not to RSVP before the deadline.

Why have you let the deadline pass? That’s so rude. Plus going to the UAE too. No.

Tell her it's already booked and do as you want.
