Wedding Dilemma - to go or not to go

[Janos]

APologies if this message is a bit long, I'm hoping that fellow mumsnetters may be able to give me some objective advice.

Here goes. In November, one of my stepsisters is getting married and I'm invited to the wedding, alomg with DP. However, I'm going to be 37 weeks pregnant with my first baby by that date, and the wedding is about 150 miles away.

In all honesty I really don't want to go as I think it will be too much, but pressure is already being put on me to go. Am I being selfish in wanting to give it a miss?

I should point out that there is a whole load of family politics etc going on in the background (when isn't there!)and there are other reasons besides the obvious physical one.

Thanks loads to everyone who has replied with advice.

I've made my final decision, which is that I'm going to politely turn down the invite and explain why. I'd feel wrong accepting the invite if I was planning not to go. Will let you know how that turns out. Thanks again!
