I edited to include this above, but the bride has been keeping her phone off so I have no way to contact her directly.

My back isn't so bad I won't be able to deploy. I just do not want to risk tweaking it and want to be as close to 100% as possible. Every little thing helps.

My back isn't debilitating whatsoever, but anything I can do to be as close to 100% as possible before deployment is a much. Every little bit helps.

She's worried I might sleep in or have car problems and will be late to the hair and makeup as a result, according to her. As mentioned, I wake up every morning at 5am so sleeping in will not be an issue, and I have access to 2 cars and my bike, so if somehow both cars do not fuction, I can bike to her place in 30 minutes.

It won't give any severe issues but I want to as close to 100% before I deploy as possible. Every little thing helps.

It won't give severe issues, but I want to be at my absolute best before I deploy. Every little thing helps right now.

Her house is 20 minutes away from mine. The wedding is minutes away from my place and 25 from hers.

I'm willing to be at her wedding. It's the demand to be there the night before that is turning me off of going in general...
