She Told People Not To Eat The Food At Her Sister’s Wedding Because She Found Out Her Mom Had Just Frozen And Defrosted The Food From Her Own Nuptials Eight Months Ago
This 26-year-old woman and her husband, who is 27, just tied the knot about eight months ago. And they decided to have a very large wedding, inviting about 200 guests.
So, she and her husband obviously needed a ton of food and drinks. And on the flip side, they also knew they would probably have leftovers and wanted to be smart about how they used the food.
That’s why they ultimately arranged for any leftovers to be donated to a soup kitchen that they sometimes work with.
But now, a whole eight months after she said her vows, she just found out that her mom went behind her back and took most of the food. Plus, she only found this news out after making a shocking realization at her sister’s nuptials.
Her 30-year-old sister, Callie, just got married this past weekend after being with her brother-in-law for about 10 years.
However, Callie and her brother-in-law reportedly only decided to tie the knot for tax reasons. So, they just wanted a simple courthouse wedding.
“But my mom begged Callie to let her do an ‘event.’ So, Callie had a small wedding with only 50 people,” she recalled.
And since her sister absolutely hates planning– and didn’t even want a big to-do in the first place– Calie allowed her mom to take care of the entire event.
The only thing she and her family were expected to do was just show up and have a great time.

Anyway, the ceremony over the long weekend was reportedly beautiful, and everything seemed to be off to a wonderful start.
But then, during the reception, the food buffet was eventually revealed, and she noticed something pretty strange.
“The food looked eerily familiar. Like, identical to what I had for my wedding except for a little more dried out and sad,” she explained.
So, she waited until there was an “opening” and approached her mom about where the food came from.
And at that point, her mom actually “happily” admitted to “saving a fortune” by just freezing the food from her wedding and defrosting it to serve to her sister’s wedding guests!
Now, that immediately horrified her, and she brought up some pretty valid safety concerns. Nonetheless, her mom just became upset with her, accused her of behaving like a snob, and claimed she should just be glad the food didn’t go to waste.
“I argued that it was never going to be wasted, but my mom wouldn’t hear it,” she added.
That’s why, while she did not want to cause a scene, she was still seriously nervous about her sister’s wedding guests getting sick. So, she snuck away to find Callie and spill the beans.
After her sister found out about what happened, Callie was extremely embarrassed. Her sister also mentioned how their mom had made a passing comment about saving money on the food, but Callie never questioned it since her sister didn’t want to foot a huge food bill as she did.
Then, her sister just thanked her for the warning and told her not to eat any of the buffet food.
“And from there, my husband and I discretely started telling some guests to be weary of the food, and the rest of the night was fine,” she said.
Her telling the wedding guests about the food caused her mom to get some pushback for being cheap, though. On top of that, she has also been getting some heat because her relatives accused her of intentionally making her family look bad.
Apparently, her family members claimed that the food was fine since it was frozen and defrosted. So, they believe that if she hadn’t “made a stink” over the food, then no one would have even realized.
And due to all of these conflicting opinions, she isn’t sure whether she did anything wrong and if she should apologize to her family or not.
How would you feel if your mom took food from your wedding behind your back like that? Did she have a valid point about safety concerns regarding the frozen and defrosted food? Was it right that she told her sister’s wedding guests to be weary of the food? Would you apologize if you were in her shoes?
