Due date/wedding clash!

I'm in my second trimester and this is our first baby! Very excited. The only worry is that our due date has been bought forward and is on the day of my brother's wedding! Firstly I am worried that my Brother and particularly SIL to-be may react badly when they hear this, and also I am already feeling I won't want to go to the wedding and take the risks. My mum had all her children early, so it makes me nervous particularly as I live next to an excellent maternity hospital. The wedding is 2 hours drive away (traffic dependent) on a Saturday by the sea this summer. I know it is a little early to start worrying but (a) any tips on breaking awkward news but not letting it spoil the joy of our baby news and (b) would you go to the wedding?

Thank you for any advice...

My due date was five days later originally but when I had the dating scan they bought it forward. There is no problem though.

It may sound silly (first baby naivety/clueless) but I guess psychologically thinking I was due after the wedding made me more relaxed about going somehow! Being the due date just makes me anxious. If it wasn't for a close relative I wouldn't even consider going (as I am not a big risk taker) but will see how I feel closer to the time!

It is so useful hearing so many different views... Thank you all!
