Entrance exam vs lunch

We have agreed to go to a lunch my PIL are holding for their anniversary, it was planned and booked several months ago. Lots of people, not just us, fancy restaurant.
Since then, one of the schools DS was meant to be applying for has released their entrance exam date, and it's on the same day. It's our nearest school, and the most likely to offer DS a scholarship. We can't afford private school without one. DP says DS can't go now as we've already agreed to the lunch.

AIBU to still want DS to do the exam?

I am wondering if there's more to this than just your DP "choosing" the lunch, is he supportive of the idea of private school at all, or he's trying to sabotage the whole thing? It seems really stupid to prioritise lunch vs the exam, almost too stupid to be true.
