I responded to a wedding RSVP that I WOULD be attending. Now I don't feel like going. It's today.

You are allowed not to go to anything you do not wish to attend. However, If you are not involved in the wedding party or involved in the ceremony then you don't have to worry. Be sure though to send a gift and make certain it is received.
If, on the other hand you are involved in the wedding party or other then you will have to come up with a pretty good excuse as others would be depending on you. Of course, if you are sick in either case then you have no control.
There is no sense attending a ceremony or anything else for that matter if you're going to be miserable for whatever reason.

Yea its rude but its not life or death. How close are you to the couple getting married? Why don't you feel like going? If you're close, just keep in mind of the friendship you might hurt over it. The cost though won't be a ton, but still rude. Definately send a gift and maybe phone them in a few weeks after they get settled in. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. Everyone that gets married gets RSVP's from people who don't attend. It happens. I wouldn't loose sleep over it though.

Unless you have a good reason yes it's kinda rude. You are included in the brides final headcount which means she has to pay for your meal.
If you decide not to go "because you don't feel like it" the proper thing to do would be to add some additional cash to the gift to cover the plate that you wasted.

It is rude not to go especially since it costs the money for your meal. I would try and make an appearance at least for dinner. If all goes well you might actually end up having a good time when you thought you wouldn't. But definitly try to go at least for the dinner.

It's rude, unless you're really sick or have an emergency. Not feeling like going doesn't quality as either. Go and have a good time! They've already paid for your meal.

That is very rude. The bride and the groom are still responsible for your plate! and not going gives off the impression that you dont care!

It's extremely rude. They had to pay for you to eat and now you just don't feel like going. Too bad, get dressed and go.

Unless you are physically ill, it would be rude to not attend.

I wouldn't say it's rude. But it gives you something to do. Get out of the house, go to the wedding. Maybe you'll end up having a good time, and if you don't then don't sweat it, just leave.
