Dietary choices are different from medically necessary dietary restrictions—the difference can be life or, you know, the other, worse thing. The wedding guest you'll meet in this next story is medically gluten and dairy-free, and she explains that the caterers could not accommodate her dietary needs. Instead, she brings her own food, eats it quietly outside, so as not to fuss anyone or make it a big deal. Well, if you're in the midst of a drama queen, they will find a way to make anything dramatic and blown out of proportion.

Individuals with dietary restrictions due to health issues don't want to be a "hassle"; they have to be. Also, in the big 2025, caterers can't promise a guest a cross-contamination-free environment? This seems like a massive oversight, as dietary restrictions and allergies are common occurrences for many wedding attendees. Commenters under the story, however, speculate that the bride didn't actually ask the caterers if they could prepare a separate meal for the guest. Either way, the bride's mother-in-law manages to spin the guest's quick outdoor meal into something much bigger than it is. What do you think about this situation?
