This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff
York, United States
Thank you for your service
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

She's so intolerant...

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

She must be allergic to you...

That sucks OP, but it always seems like the Bride and Groom don't really get to eat much at their wedding anyway! Let your new hubby get you some grub after the wedding, when maybe you could enjoy it!

He is the new hubby! For goodness sake, why aren't people looking at the gender?!

'Scuse the **** out of me...I'm not use to the new FML, the gender isn't where it has been and I hadn't seen it. So sorry! :)

I imagine most people are assuming this is the bride because generally it's the brides family that is taking care of wedding plans. (Notice I said generally, not always people.)

I'm wondering if mother in-law truly cares for you if she did not consult with you about any problems like this. I'd also call the caterer and let them know about your allergy. They should be able help you out.

I hope she didn't do it on purpose, but that rarely seems to be the case with mother-in-laws. They're just such a pain. I wish you better luck in the future with her. Also, congrats on getting hitched!

Two words... Taco Bell

Taco Bell in your system?. . . On your Honeymoon? Not really the wisest route to go. :P

Haha well I think my stomach has built up an immunity to Taco Bell

You should watch monster-in-law for inspiration.

You really don't get to eat at your own wedding anyways. You're supposed to be chatting to the guests, dancing with your bride and other family members and posing for pictures . . . lots of pictures. Put some energy bars in your smelly, rented tux and wolf 'em down in the bathroom.

Take it easy, swap your share with your wife or a relative, and then talk nonchalantly about it and let it slip that the food mistake is due to her dementia, but as a good person, you couldn't refuse her help for the wedding, "you understand, the poor thing has so few things left to be responsible for in her state"

Yeah. This is the one thing I will definitely be in charge of. No one messes with my food.
