Grooms mother rips woman for bringing own food to…
Is the bridge gonna have a monster-in-law on her palms?
A woman with a medical condition was blasted by the groom’s mother ripped her for bringing her own food to a wedding ceremony, as detailed in a viral Reddit post.
“She confronted me and said I was ’embarrassing the family,’” said the 36-year-old wedding ceremony visitors of her diet-shaming session, which occurred during the nuptials of her good good friend from faculty.
The Reddit poster was “excited to celebrate” the special day, the only caveat being that she suffered from a “medical condition” that prevented her from eating meals with gluten and dairy.

She didn’t specify the character of her condition, although people with celiac disease have opposed immune reactions to gluten, which might harm the small gut and thereby make lactose troublesome to digest.
“It’s not a fad diet or a preference, I get very sick if I eat them,” said the woman, who talked about her illness “on the RSVP card where it asked about dietary restrictions.”
Despite her disclaimer, the bride said the venue “couldn’t guarantee anything gluten- or dairy-free because of cross-contamination,” but she hoped she’d get by “with the salad and fruit.”

Unfortunately, this option apparently didn’t suffice with her bestie, who determined to surreptitiously deliver her own vittles.
“I didnt want to cause trouble, so I just quietly brought a small container of safe food in my bag (literally just grilled chicken and rice),” she recalled. “When dinner was served, I discreetly went outside for 5 minutes, ate it quickly, then came back in to join everyone.”
She added, “I didn’t make a scene, didn’t bring smelly food, didn’t take anything away from the event.”

Unfortunately, the groom’s mother caught her in the snack-t and badmouthed her to other visitors, claiming that the poster was “disrespecting the caterer” and “making the couple look cheap,” per the post.
She even confronted the involuntarily choosy eater at the reception and accused her of embarrassing the household, claiming that she ought to’ve eaten beforehand if there was an issue.
The Redditor recounted to Newsweek how the mother-in-law also laid into her for eating by the wall en route to the toilet “like a homeless person.”
The poster explained that her medical condition required her to make particular changes to keep away from getting sick, but the mother “rolled her eyes and said I was selfish.” The scornful dad or mum added that the marriage was “about the couple, not about your diet.”
Unfortunately, the future-husband’s mother wasn’t the only one dismissing her dietary selection. “Some of our mutual friends also agree that I made an a–hole move and made the couple look bad,” said the Redditor, who requested the commenters if she was the issue for bringing her own grub.
Many agreed that she was in the fitting. “You took care of your own needs,” wrote one defender. “That’s it. Is it somehow respectful to eat food that would physically harm you? LOL. No.”
They added, “The groom’s mother is looking to make trouble where it doesn’t exist. Ignore her.”
A second suggested the OP to warn her bestie that she might need a future monster-in-law on her palms. “If I were the bride, I would carefully take note of MIL’s big red flag,” they wrote. “Since OP is a friend of the bride, this could be a sign of troubles to come.”
Another thought the bride was partially to blame, writing, “yeah, the bride didn’t feel particularly concerned her friend would have something, let alone enough, to eat. She gets some side-eye from me for that.”
