To miss a friend’s wedding.

Here’s some context. Someone who I was friends with since school has invited me to her wedding. We used to be very close, however over the last two years she has been quite an absent friend. She never came to meet my youngest child, hence driving past my house constantly. I’ve always met her children and been there for her. I haven’t seen her for two years (when I met her youngest).
Her wedding is on a weekday, which clashes with an important school event my son is attending. I have already told her this, but her response is “oh no rush we will be here all night”. Plus my partner is self employed and up to his ears in work. The wedding is also an hour away from where I live. I don’t think the school event will be done by 6, plus getting ready will take time. I don’t see how it’s possible! Am I being unreasonable not to attend? (No hate please, I hate letting people down and very self critical🤣)

You absolutely don’t have to go. Ignore bridezilla

Nope. Don't go.

I am not taking a day off work for someone's wedding and I wouldn't expect anyone to have done for my Saturday one either

Decline, you’re not letting her down at all. She’s invited you and you don’t have to go. But be upfront now then you can forget about it.
