AITA for not recording my friends wedding because they wouldn't let me bring my flower girl (my daughter)?

I have a 5 year old daughter. I am a single parent and I don't have anyone to leave her with so I always bring her everywhere. I have no family and my ex won't take her because he's back with his ex as well. <br><br>My friend invited me to her wedding and I was going to bring my daughter but she said it was going to be an adult only wedding. I told her I had no one else to leave her with but she told me to find someone else to take her because she really didn't want kids at her wedding.<br><br>I couldn't find anyone else so I told her I couldn't come because I had no one to take my daughter. She called me and said she was hurt I was missing her wedding because I was one of her best friends in college and she wanted me there.<br><br>I told her I would come but I was bringing my daughter. I also told her I was taking videos and pictures during the wedding. She agreed because I guess she thought I was just joking. On the day of the wedding I brought my daughter and she had a full floral dress and a basket with flowers and a stuffed rabbit wearing a flower on its ear. She walked in front of me down the aisle and threw the flowers and my friend started screaming saying I was ruining her wedding and trying to steal her thunder.<br><br>I told her she wouldn't have had a problem if she allowed me to bring her in the first place. She said she didn't want her there because she didn't want kids at her wedding. I said she should find someone to take her. She started saying I couldn't just upstage her wedding with a little girl in a flower girl dress. I don't think I upstaged her. She just got mad I didn't record her wedding because she had asked me to and I didn't. <br><br><br><br>Edit: I didn't bring her as a flower girl, she was just wearing a flower girl dress. Just wanted to clarify. Also I had previously asked if she could be my plus 1 and my friend said no.<br><br><br>Update: I just got a call from a mutual friend I knew from college. I didn't even know she was there but she said she was sitting next to another person we went to college with. She told me they saw the post and they both said that they thought my daughter was part of the wedding. She said that the bride and groom didn't indicate that my daughter wasn't part of the wedding. She said they thought it was a touch because it's a way to involve a child into the wedding.
