Am I an a-hole for this wedding attedance situation?

My girlfriend's best friend is being married in July. Her wedding is on a Friday, she is having the reception with family and friends on the Saturday afternoon the next day.
I've met the bride and husband twice in my life. My girlfriend and I live 7 hours away. We're driving separately already because she has to be there Wednesday to get things ready for the wedding. I told her I didn't want to take a vacation day Friday and would rather go up Friday night and be there for the reception and rest of weekend.
She thinks I should be there for the wedding. I think, don't schedule a Friday wedding and expect for out of town acquaintances to be there.

I'm with you on this one

Tell her you took off and then have something come up last minute. She'll probably still blow a groomsman, but it'll look like you tried.

No.
You don't need to waste a vacation day for irrelevant people.

sounds reasonable to me

Wtf dude. Take off work and go be with your wife at the event on Friday.

I don't think you're an a-hole for that.
I would probably go up for the wedding, since your girlfriend is in it, but I don't think you're wrong either.

That's ludicrous. Who does that?
I think you are in the right.

No, dude. You're not an a-hole. That sounds perfectly reasonable.
Your gf sounds like a bitch right now. Dump her. Murder her.

I dont think either of you is "wrong."
I would likely take off to go to the wedding. But I dont think you are being too unreasonable. But me personally, I would be there for my girlfriend if she wanted me there for a close friends wedding

I would convince her that not wasting that vacation day is the right choice by planning a vacation with her.

Friday weddings for Catholics are pretty much the norm these days in many places in south LA

This is a stereotypical "no-win" scenario for you.

How does your girlfriend make your sandwiches from 7 hours away?
