Would you travel from Connecticut to Miami for a friend’s Sunday night wedding?

Budget Question

I’d love some outside opinions. A close friend is getting married in Miami, but we all live in Connecticut.
The wedding is on a Sunday night, which makes me hesitant because it would mean flying down, staying at least a night or two, and then dealing with the travel back to CT around the beginning of the workweek.
For those who have done something similar, would you consider it worth the hassle and expense to attend a close friend’s wedding in another state, especially when it involves flying and a Sunday night wedding?
Would you:
Fly to Miami and make a weekend out of it?
Fly down Sunday and come back Monday?
Take Monday off and stay an extra night?
Or politely decline because of the travel/work logistics?
I’d especially love to hear from people who have traveled for weddings and whether you regretted going—or regretted not going.
