Absolutely not.

They can ask you to come in if you have already had your legal requirements of holidays and this was extra .

That's how I understand it.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

No, but if the wedding was called off you could ask if they wanted you to work that day. :Very Happy

Do you have some proof on paper, either an annual leave card, or a request slip with the managers authorisation on it? Otherwise, I'm not sure I'd trust them to honor it, if it was a verbal agreement only.
