To not want to go to this post-Wedding party?

[Wonderwine]

• Old schoolfriend of DH's - lives in Europe in a currently 'amber' country.
• His daughter is getting married and DH & I were invited.
• was meant to be April, then June, then told 'save the date' for end August (due to covid etc)
• I've only met the friend & his wife once, about 20+ years ago, and the daughter was about 6 then.
• DH wanted to go to the wedding, but I kept saying 'let's see what the situation is in September'
• we've just found out that they've now actually HAD the wedding ceremony (a small, family one due to restrictions) and the August date is for a 'celebration party' with wider family and friends. We are still invited.
• DH still wants to go

AIBU to say I don't want to go because:

• I barely know these people and we won't know any of the other guests
• We don't speak the language of this country/ their friends
• We've already agreed not to have a holiday abroad this year due to all the potential covid issues (testing, quarantine etc)
• The cost/ time/hassle for something I don't actually think will be enjoyable

?

If it wasn't for covid and the possibility of quarantine I would definitely go. But you've clearly decided for numerous reasons that you dont want to so you have your decision I think.

We had this pre-COVID, a trip to a wedding in a difficult place at a difficult time of the year. I refused to go & DH didn’t want to go on his own.
