AIBU?

I don't understand. How are the two events related? Would I go to a relative's funeral? Yes probably provided that a) I knew them i.e not some distant relative I had never met and b) I could take time off - I am a teacher and requests to attend funerals are only automatically granted if it is an immediate relative (parent, spouse or child).

Along with everyone else, I have never heard of such a belief. I'm sorry for your loss, go to the funeral and say your goodbyes.
It may, however, not be appropriate to be gushy about your upcoming wedding and plans, while actually at the funeral/wake.

Nope - never heard of that one. Some people plan their weddings 2 years in advance (or more!) how realistic do you think it really is not to go to a funeral during that time?
Though it sounds as though english isn't your first language so maybe we aren't allowing for cultural differences.
