36-year-old sneaks her own food to her friend's wedding, groom's mother catches her and throws a fit: '[This] wedding is about the couple, not about your diet!'

No one should be reprimanded for having legitimate food allergies. Unfortunately, there are far too many entitled people in this world who are so blinded by their own experiences that they cannot fathom giving someone with a different diet the benefit of the doubt.

In this case, a wedding guest explained to her college friend who was getting married that she had a serious gluten and dairy allergy. This meant that she couldn't eat the food that was going to be prepared during the reception. The guest understood that no accommodations could be made. In fact, she was used to this. She ended up deciding to sneak a small Tupperware container inside with grilled chicken and vegetables. When it was time to eat dinner, she snuck back out of the venue to eat her small prepared meal in less than ten minutes, thinking that nobody would notice.

Unfortunately, someone did notice, and it turns out that it was someone with the worst possible reputation: The groom's mother. She refused to extend her sympathies to the guest and instead decided to draw more attention to the matter by throwing a temper tantrum. She accused the guest of making it look like she and her family were cheap for not having good enough food for her. Remember what we said about the entitled folks who can't see beyond their own experience? This lady seems to be the full-on personification of that idea.

'[Am I wrong] for bringing my own food to a wedding?'

It's hard not to wonder what the bride was thinking when all of this transpired. If she had communicated with her friend beforehand and if the two had come to the mutual understanding that the guest was going to sneak out quickly to eat some of her own food, perhaps all of this drama could have been avoided. Instead, the groom's mother had to get involved, and clearly, this is not someone you want to mess with or even have to deal with on a regular basis. I guess the only advantage here for the guest is that the groom's mother is not her in-law. That's something her friend is going to have to navigate, presumably, for the rest of her life!
