The bride assumes me to be a “free labor” for her wedding?

Help needed: First of all, I don’t mind helping at a friend’s wedding. But the bride just sent out a list and assumed that I will agree to doing the tasks (mine was being a “transporter” for plants).

I know it’s her big day and once in a life time event, but for me, I still have work on that day, it’s just another day for me. Don’t get me wrong, I am still happy for her though, because it’s HER wedding.

I am not a top event planner with lots of experience, but I do work professionally at catering, such as dinners, weddings and oversee events.

I am not happy that she assumed I will be okay with being a transporter (and yes, this is the name she came up with) for the day of.

What should I do?

Thank you for your help.

What should I do?
Thanks for all your help! To answer some of your questions: I am not a bride maid, and plant transporter was the only duty assigned for the day.

Taking some of your advice, I emailed her and told her I can’t do plant transporting due to work but will take half a day off and help at the dinner. She asked if I can take the rest of the half day off!!!

I so wanted to send an email to her fiance and wish him luck marrying her.
