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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML
Today, I went to the doctor, only to find out I can no longer eat chocolate, my favorite food. When I got home, my boyfriend took the chocolate cake I'd been eating from the fridge, sat down in front of me, and ate the whole thing without breaking eye contact. FML
Today, my fiancée called off our wedding out of the blue. After a long discussion about it, it turns out that last week I voiced an opinion about the wedding she didn’t agree with, and doesn’t want to spend her life married to someone who’s going to argue with her every five minutes. FML
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
Today, my fiancé informed me he didn't want a regular wedding cake, he wants a Batman cake. I have nothing against this, except that he already decided the wedding theme would be Star Wars. Essentially, I'm marrying a child. FML
Today, I decided to ask my girlfriend of 3 years to marry me. I made brownies with walnuts and put an engagement ring into the brownie I gave her. Not only did she choke on the ring, but on the way to the emergency room, I find out she is highly allergic to walnuts. FML
Today, my fiancée called off our wedding at the last moment, because her neurotic sister thinks she's "too fat" to be the maid of honor, and says she needs several months to lose weight. So that's a few thousand dollars wasted. My fiancée says I'm "overreacting" and that I "just don't get it". FML
Today, my fiancé actually threatened to leave me if I didn't find a "real" wedding dress. I love the one I picked out, it fits me perfectly, and was well below my budget. He's upset because it's technically a bridesmaid dress. FML
Today, my mother in-law made dessert. It was a beautiful chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, and every other thing had chocolate in it. I'm deathly allergic to chocolate and she knows this. FML
Today, I bought a personalized cookie cake with "Will you go out with me?" for the girl I've liked for five months. When I showed her, she said no, but took the cake with her anyway. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Both of you are idiots. You deserve each other.

How is he an idiot? He seems like the rational one of the two, the one who isn't a selfish, egocentric and spoiled ****. At least it must have been a huge eye opener for him, and it's better that he realized what kind of person she is right now instead of after the wedding.

I dunno if you noticed this or not but we haven't heard her side of the story. I've noticed this a lot in these FMLs that the OPs tend to word things to make them seem like the victim. It's top bad we can't get both sides of the story. If this is all true though, then this is for the best. First this, then a divorce because you leave the toilet seat up.

^ I agree. It's not about the cake, its about his fiance being selfish and dumping him over something stupid that he cannot help. A relationship is about compromise and if the biggest problem in your relationship is "i can't have a chocolate wedding cake because it might kill the groom" and you still flip out over it then there are some deeper issues that Op might not want to deal with.

Dodged a bullet there, bud. Thank your lucky stars.

Better you found out now what she's like than after. She'd want her way or threaten to move out over everything after you were married. This was probably the best warning you could've gotten. Consider it a farewell gift.

you guys are getting married and she didn't know you were deathy allergic to chocolate? hmm

You don't want to marry someone who is more worried about the wedding than you surviving. You should have punched her in the face and hooked up with the cute cake cashier lady. (assuming there was one)

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. Pack up and move on.

Well, you just don't get any cake, then. So selfish. [!]

If this is even real, she probably just used the wedding cake as an excuse to cancel or postpone the wedding. Getting married puts a lot of stress on everyone, especially the bride! So, I'd suggest talking with her about your relationship, because she's not behaving like this because of a cake. Oh, and if you're getting married to her shouldn't she know you're allergic to chocolate? The subject must've come up on a date or something before. If you don't do anything about this, then YDI. But FYL if she has a secret lover or something and that's why she canceled the wedding (;

This is one of the more reasonable replies I've seen. It could be a lot of things going on with the Bride right now. Weddings are stressful. Not saying it wasn't a horribly selfish thing to do, or a childish/immature way to go about postponing the wedding, but lets be realistic... not every woman has a secret lover and not every man leads a double life with two wives and a *****. =/

If your fiancée doesn't know about your allergy, then you should've told her a long time ago. But if she knew, then she needs to calm down. Yeah, weddings are VERRRRRY important to women, but she needs to understand that you have an allergy that would prevent her from getting her dream cake. Apologize several times, then tell her she can have her own cake. Get a vanilla groom's cake, as someone previously suggested. But let her have her day. Hopefully, this is going to be her only wedding. Good luck.

He should "apologize several times" for having an allergy?

"I'm sorry that chocolate will kill me. I'm so horrible and selfish."

@43- Two reasons why he SHOULDN'T apologize: 1) He can't help the fact that he's allergic- he was born with it. 2) He was paying for the wedding , therefore he definitely had a say in what flavor the cake was going to be.

Hey Ringless! It may hurt now but on the bright side you know now how selfish she can be. So now you can move on with your life. Be very happy you didn't sign your life away. She is a nut.
