AIBU or petty?

AIBU

There are three of us in a friendship, All get on really well. Never have any bad words or fall out about anything. Great laugh together.

Two of us already married, all three went to the weddings. For mine they did not stay on to celebrate for a second night (thats fine, people dont want to take a monday off work and wouldn't expect them too even though they are my best friends, that's up to them) but for the other one we all did stay for the second night which was a bit annoying but hers was first so I did not know she wasn't going to return the effort.

Now the third is getting married this year. Making an emphasis that it will be a full weekend party and that it will be great fun to have everyone stay on the second night. OTHER FRIEND IS UP FOR THIS ALSO!!!

AIBU to think they are treating me unfairly or am I just being a princess and petty?

Also...I now don't want to stay for that second night out of principle but worried 1. I'll miss a great night 😂 and 2. That it's petty. I'm sure they would know why I didn't stay on.

Worst way I've ever heard of critiquing a friendship! Surely there are so many factors at play - what nights are involved, how much annual leave a person happens to have left, what else they have on at home/work......

I think forget about it and go and have fun with your friends!

It could be that their financial/whatever other circumstances have changed since your wedding and they're therefore more able to do it now.

I would be annoyed. But put it aside. Go, stay and have fun

Ah well now you tell us it is not a conventional Church of England wedding it might make a difference.

If your religion has weddings that last 2 nights and the invitation would be for both nights then yes, I think there is an expectation that your guests would stay for both.

I vote petty. Go to the second night if you think you’ll have fun. Don’t go if you think bitterness will stop you enjoying it.
