Momzilla of the Groom

<< < (2/2)

WhiteTigerCub:
I do  think the OP could have been a little more tactful in the situation. While I am not allergic to seafood, I would not have eaten anything on the menu provided for the reception. Seafood consitency literally makes me gag when I try to eat it.

OP basically made her host feel bad by telling them she could not eat the entree offered and that she was stepping out to get something else to eat especially since some of the other guests overheard and offered to go with her to get fast food!

I think it would have been a lot more gracious of the OP to "step out to the use the restroom for a moment' if she absolutely had to go get something else to eat at that moment. Otherwise, she might have been able to order extra bread, been looking oooo so forward to dessert and then gone to get something to eat after the event was over.

As for momzilla, yeah she was quite toxic in her reactions to finding out OP could not eat the food served to her.

Twik:
Well, there are times when if the truth makes people feel a *little* bad, I don't think it's so awful. Perhaps next time the hosts will understand what people mean when they say "seafood will kill me." If it had been me, my options would have be (1) leave and get something to eat, or (2) leave before I turned into a raging grizzly with a migraine. Trying to party with nothing but bread to eat would not be physically possible for me.
