I agree with Sue Sue that the real issue is that you were tricked into doing this. She should have been up front and asked you outright, "Hey, would you be interested in getting paid 50 bucks to come to my sister's wedding and hand out soda/refill the pretzels?" But no. Instead she tried to dress it up like she had something fabulous to invite you to. She only did this because she knew no one would want to outright say yes to this for that amount of money.
I would just tell her "Sorry, not interested. But thanks for thinking of me." And then if you do have a student who would be interested, maybe pass on his/her name.
You are obviously way cooler than I am, because I would never assume someone was about to invite me to something fun. The way that was worded is usually a sign of bad to me.
