This is a no-brainer. It's once a year for a few hours. Go, put on a nice face about it and be supportive of your wife. You think she likes scrubbing the toilet in your house? Or changing the diapers of your children? Do you think she is absolutely invigorated and mentally challenged by the idea of standing in line at the dry cleaners?
Of course not. And yet we all do these things for our spouses and our families because we love them and there are parts of life that are drudgery, and that's okay. In this case, it's a once a year minimal inconvenience to you that helps her project a positive image at work. Go and be nice about it. Not everything in marriage has to be a battle or a beg to get out of something. It runs a lot smoother if you don't try to make every bump in the road into a "thing."

Yep. Anybody who argues otherwise is just self-centered. There are 8,760 hours in a year. Not giving up two of those to help your wife's professional life just means you only think of yourself.
