To book weekend away the weekend of friends cancelled wedding?

DP and I were meant to be going to a friends wedding which is 8 hours from home.
We were meant to be there 2 nights 3 days with the wedding being on day 2.
We haven't been away since our 2 year old was born as we don't have family/friends locally to help - we live very remotely.
Anyway, my mum managed to get the time off work to have DD for all 3 days so we we booked our hotel to go..bla bla.

1 week to go now until the wedding and the bride and groom have really fallen out, messy split all over FB and very public (screenshots of angry text messages!)
We've both messaged them (she's a very old childhood friend of mine and he's a more recent friend of DHs) but not had a reply from either of them. People close to them have told us that the wedding isn't on and the hen/stag this week were cancelled.

I suggested to DH that we book somewhere else (closer to home) that weekend as we have a babysitter and the time off work and spend some time together. He really wants to do something just us too but is worried incase the wedding is suddenly back-on and then we loose out on deposits for the new hotel booking as he thinks we would have to go to the wedding. I think even if they decide to go ahead with it, it would all seem very false now.

Would we be unreasonable to book our own thing for that weekend? Or is that in bad taste.
Maybe I'm being terribly fickle but I'd love some time with my husband alone! Blush

Have NCd for this Blush

That public a falling out would make me cancel my plans that's for sure. I would quickly book somewhere else before they changed their minds so I hand an excuse not to come to the wedding.
"Oh I'm so sorry but after the big fall out on Fakebook and being told the wedding was off we cancelled the booking obviously. Sooo sorry"
I wouldn't be sorry either I'd be delighted to get to spend some more quality time with my dh but we've not been away alone for about 6 years 😂
