WWYD? Wedding related

Friends wedding tomorrow around 1.5hr drive away. Came down with a nasty but brief vomiting bug Thursday evening, along with the kids, lasted till fri morning. Also passed to in laws (by accident!) and DH had it so seems to be quite contagious. Was exhausted all day Friday, a bit better today but still so very tired.

in laws were supposed to be our childcare so this is obviously out of the question now. Do I

a) go to the wedding solo, leaving DH with the sick kids when he’s not feeling great himself? I don’t want to pass it to anyone at the wedding either which is a worry.

b) miss it

c) some other solution

I have asked the bride to be and she still wants me to come if I can, but I can’t tell if she’s being polite as I know I’d be worried about catching a bug before my honeymoon. For reference, we were best friends for years, have drifted in recent years but are still friends. I don’t want to miss it but don’t want to pass it on!

Lots of hugging and kissing at weddings so I would personally avoid it.

You’ve now told the bride that you’ve had a vomiting bug so if by chance someone else also has the big or similar and attends and bride and groom become ill then you will get the blame.

I would say you are still being sick and stay behind , I would risk it

Sounds very contagious. Skip it.

Thank you. I’m guessing it’s norovirus and google seems to suggest 48 hours after symptoms end is the contagious period, so technically it should be okay by tomorrow if we’re counting just the vomiting as the symptom. If it’s the tiredness then it won’t be long enough.

I really don’t want to hurt her feelings or make her feel like I’m just making an excuse, but likewise would feel awful if I passed it to her or anyone else.
