Am I the asshole??

AITA for refusing to follow the no phones rule at a wedding?

Strike 2, because the first one looks like it's disappeared.

So. I'll try to keep it short. Also, English is not my first language, so I apologise in advance for eventual mistakes.

One of my best friends (28F) just got married. When she invited us, she did tell us that she wanted the ceremony to be as phone-free as possible, so we would have to leave our devices with someone she trusted and just enjoy the event.

We (as in, the whole friend group) agreed.

The day before the wedding, though, my dog ended up feeling badly and we had to rush him to the emergency vet. I think he might've been poisoned, but the vet's not sure yet.

At any rate, by the time the ceremony rolled around he was still not out of the woods, and it cost me A LOT to even attend the wedding. I love that dog to pieces, and I was scared to death.

Yet I've been very close friends with the bride for a very long time, so I really couldn't miss it.

I assumed that seeing as it was an emergency situation she would've been fine with me keeping my phone.

She wasn't. She took me aside during the reception, told me she was very hurt by the fact that I didn't even respect her enough to follow the one rule she'd set for her wedding day. She told me that there were other people there who'd given up their phone even though they were in a similar situation.

Apparently, I'd disrespected them all and their efforts by being selfish and doing as I wished.

I didn't argue back for the sake of not making a scene, but I did leave shortly after.

EDIT
My dog is fine, now, so I've started to feel a bit guilty. I really am not sure. Was I an asshole?
