    r/AmltheAsshole • 3 hr. ago Efficient-Toe-2600 AITA for bringing my own food to someone else's wedding?
  • 03
    Some friends of my husband got married recently. They are veggie and had a mostly vegan menu. I am a meat eater but I like veggie and vegan food. I wasn't particularly keen on their menu though.

    It was dishes like burnt aubergine (I think egg plant in America?). The menu itself described it as burnt I'm not being Usually I'd just eat whatever. But I'm pregnant and have been getting these horrible bursts of really intense hunger.

    When I want mostly carbs, and there weren't really any on the menu. There were some cheeses but the staff couldn't say if they were pasteurised or not so I couldn't have them. On top of this, the wedding was three days, so I was really worried about what I could eat.

    My solution was taking some food with me. I took a small mini fridge to have in my room, and brought stuff to make sandwiches and a few snacks. When I was hungry, I'd pop to my room and have something to eat.

    Someone asked why I was going to the room and I mentioned I was just getting something to eat. This got back to the bride who said I was and implying the catering wasn't good enough. AITA?

    ahknewb 3h ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [34] NTA - you are pregnant. Eat what you want to eat! You didn't bring out a full meal at the table and ignore what was presented to you, you brought extra food that you knew you'd enjoy and you ate it at the hotel room.

    Fluffy_Sheepy •3h ago Certified Proctologist [22] NTA. Jeez. Based on the title I thought you were gonna say you brought a steak to the table and ate it right in front of the bride at the reception. But you kept your food in your room and snuck off to eat in private when you got hungry. No poor delicate vegan had to witness you eating meat or cheese (heaven forbid such a thing), you didn't contaminate their tables with your non-vegan food. People need to get their heads out of their rectums. Wha

    your own room is your buisiness. Pregnant or not, you are allowed to eat what you like. I get that she likely had to pay to cater your portion of food and is miffed that you aren't eating it. But that's a risk people take when they decide on a specific menu. There's always going to be somebody that isn't into. it. And in this case, it isn't even a single meal. It's 3 days worth of celebration. Some people might say things like " it up, it's only 1 meal", but expecting you to basically go hungry

    NapalmAxolotl • 3h ago Professor Emeritass [73] NTA. You were eating in your room! Even if you had to bring some food out, because it's 3 days and you're pregnant, that would be fine if it was small and vegetarian. (Makes me wonder about the menu though - mostly vegan, which usually means almost all carbs, and they're not carbs?)

    RB1327 • 3h ago Someone asked why I was going to the room and I mentioned I was just getting something to eat. NTA. But why did you feel the need to specifically answer that way? Of course it's going to come across as an insult to the provided event food.

    Apart-Ad-6518 • 3h ago Craptain [191] Of course NTA "When I was hungry, I'd pop to my room and have something to eat." You were discreet & did what you needed to. Plus you're pregnant. Anyone should be understanding.

    "This got back to the bride who said I was and implying the catering wasn't good enough." So she just got married & she's worried about what you're doing. F F S! I wouldn't give that marriage long if she's like that with her partner.

    NotCreativeAtAll16 3h ago Commander in Cheeks [282] NTA. You kept it in your room. You didn't bring a giant hoagie sandwich into the reception. It's to try to force people to only eat the food they've provided. You're growing a new human and have different nutritional needs and WANTS. You didn't draw attention to yourself when you went. I think you handled this correctly, and the friend who ratted to the bride and groom as well as the bride are the ones who were and escalated the situation.

    WolfGoddess 77 • 3h ago Craptain [163] Normally, I would think bringing your own food to a wedding would be a little but I'm going with NTA. First of all, you're pregnant, so you might not be able to tolerate the food that was provided. Secondly, it wasn't like you were bringing a big tray of food to the reception and eating it there, snubbing the catering. You were very discreet about it, and honestly, the way you went about it is probably the best way that you could have done it.
