Today, I'm getting married. A few months ago, I allowed my mother in-law to take care of catering. She begged to be a part of the wedding, so I gave her the caterer's number and order info. It appears that I will not be eating at my own wedding because she decided to order food I'm allergic to. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I sampled some of the food my fiancée's mom is making for our wedding. Everything tasted terrible, and I almost vomited. Turns out she never actually went to culinary school as she claimed, but had just watched Julie and Julia. It's too late to book another caterer for the wedding. FML

Weddings suck

Today, I got dragged to a wedding where I knew no-one. It went on for hours, I got so hungry. We get to the meal, my wife had forgotten to order a vegetarian meal for me. I couldn't eat the main meal, due to allergies and no alternative. I then spent two more hours just waiting to go home. FML

The best day of your life

Today, my mom told me she is serving lasagna and Italian cream cake at my bridal shower. I'm severely lactose intolerant, which I have been telling her for years. She responded by telling me, and I quote, "The food is for the guests." FML

Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

Today, my future mother-in-law informed me that since she is putting money into our wedding, that all the planning and arrangements are under her authority. FML

Today, my soon-to-be mother-in-law decided that she is going to be in charge of planning my wedding. All decisions must be approved by her, and anything she doesn't like will be thrown out. She also wants to go on our honeymoon with us to make sure I don't "defile" her son. FML

Today, six weeks before my wedding, my mother decided to claim that she never agreed on paying for it and that she doesn't think she will. Now I have six weeks to scavenge enough cash for the wedding she planned in the first place. FML

Today, my fiancée and I were selecting our wedding cake. The wedding is now off since I refused to buy her the "dream" wedding cake she wanted because it was chocolate. She called me childish and cheap. I'm highly allergic to chocolate. FML

I'm getting the vibe that she doesn't like you, if in fact she knew you were allergic to said food.

Tell your MIL that it's OK that you won't be eating at the wedding, because her daughter will be taking care of you all night long. Hey, what am I saying?

Congrats on getting married! If you and your new wife are driving to your honeymoon destination, stop somewhere and eat; if you two are flying out, grab something at the airport. Or, you can just make a meal of cake, a perfect excuse to have seconds or thirds.

Ok OP was being nice and he said that he gave his Mother- in- law order info. So obviously the foods that were chosen was given to her. She changed the food that was decided. It's not like he said she could pick anything. OP gave a specific order and unfortunately it wasn't followed.

FYL. But all is not lost. 1. Talk to the caterer. They may be able to find something to give you. 2. If that doesn't work, have someone else bring you something to eat. Maybe a friend who isn't in the wedding party can pick something up while you're taking pictures. You could even have your best man order pizza delivered to the wedding. While not ideal, it's better than getting sick from drinking alcohol on an empty stomach. Congratulations on your wedding, and do your best to enjoy it. Try to remember that, while it is a symbol of the rest of your life, it is still only one day. Good luck!

Never EVER let mom in laws get involved. Hell, I wouldn't even let my own mom help. I'm pretty sure most moms in weddings are trying to makeup for whatever they missed out on at their own weddings, so they end up ruining yours. If you want it done right next time, op, do it yourself!
