To not go to the wedding

A friend of mine is getting married this summer. I haven't seen her since last year. She never came to my wedding last year, got a text the morning of to tell me her cat had died. It's also at a time when I always go home to my parents, every year. She is marrying an asshole who dumped her last year telling her he could replace her in the morning and asked her to marry him over the phone a couple of months ago but no one can tell her this is a huge mistake. Genuinely though, I do always go home, don't get there often so really nothing to do with her choice of husband to be. Yet I was told how could I miss her special who's this to get my friendday. Also not doing this because she missed mine because of a cat

I don't think you should go as you obviously don't want to and you've already declined.

But...200miles is not a massive effort in itself. We do that for a weekend maybe 8 or 10 times a year. We've done it for a day trip quite a few times too. Kids up and out by 6, there by 9.30. Easy! (Unless you're in a remote part of the country with no motorways)

Ok fair enough! You did say kids and animals and I wrongly assumed you meant domestic.
Getting cover fir a farm isn't easy and therefore visiting your parents does take a massive amount of planning. If you'd mentioned being farmers in your OP, posters would have been far more in agreement with you re visiting your parents. Just don't go to the wedding.
