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.

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!

A lot of things don't work out in weddings, but this is pretty major.
