Wedding planning can be stressful enough without having to deal with a delusional mother-in-law and her unwarranted interference. While some MILs are mildly infuriating, others take the cake with their completely crazy behavior. Like the one who almost caused a groom to lose his life, all because she wanted to prove that peanut allergies don’t exist. Yes, really.
But the woman didn’t stop there. A wedding caterer has spilled the beans on how this lady ended up literally crashing the wedding, despite being banned from the venue. The MIL’s shenanigans could have easily left the bridal couple in coffins, were it not for the quick-thinking actions of a bouncer. Buckle up because this story is one wild ride…

Gate-crashing a wedding might seem fun but it can be a criminal offense
We’ve seen enough comedies about people crashing weddings. But while we laugh at the movie scenes, rocking up uninvited at someone’s nuptials can land you in really hot water.
Just ask Britney Spears‘ (first) ex-husband, Jason Alexander… In June 2022, Alexander thought it wise to Instagram live-stream his attempt to gate-crash the singer’s wedding when she married Sam Asghari. Needless to say, it didn’t go down well. He was tackled by security, arrested, and convicted of trespassing and battery. He was sentenced to 64 days in jail, and slapped with a three-year restraining order.
While that’s an extreme example, and there were a lot of background shenanigans happening ahead of the event, just showing up without an invite could also cause you a legal headache.
“In California, willfully entering property owned by someone else without the owner’s permission is the crime of trespass,” explains the findlaw.com site.
“If a crasher finds out the name of someone who didn’t attend and pretends to be that person, they could also be guilty of false impersonation if he benefited from using the other person’s name or harmed that person’s reputation somehow,” adds vistacriminallaw.com.
However, the experts say that while eating someone else’s food, trespassing on private property, and falsely impersonating someone else are all crimes, they’re all minor enough that it’s unlikely someone crashing a wedding will actually be charged.
If you waltzed into a venue and enjoyed some of the wedding buffet, you would be breaking the law. But you’d probably just be kicked out if caught, not arrested.
You’re more likely to be charged if your crashing extends beyond just stealing the food. “Some people use weddings as a convenient excuse to commit more major crimes, ranging from grand theft of gifts and money,” explains the Vista Criminal Law site, adding that those who enter the premise with the purpose of committing theft or a felony can also be charged with burglary.
Additionally, if a wedding crasher commits theft at a wedding, and attempts to hurt someone who tries to stop them, they could also be charged with robbery.
“Even those who attended the wedding without nefarious purposes could be charged with battery, attack, or making criminal threats if they hurt, attempted to hurt, or threatened to hurt someone who asked them to leave,” notes the site.
And of course, in the case of this bride’s mother, if you attempt to plough into the bridal couple with your car, you’ll be facing even more serious charges and extensive time behind bars.

I was confused at times. The writer's literary pretensions got in the way of a clear explanation as to what went on at the beginning.

It was brutally unreadable. I only came to the comments to see if others felt the same way. I couldn't make it through.

People who "don't believe in" food allergies are part of the reason I'm totally paranoid about food. The major reason is the complete idjits. I have a bad dairy allergy and I'm *that* lactose intolerant. These are actual things that have happened to me: At a restaurant, I ordered garlic bread baked in a pan, which the server assured me could be made with olive oil. I told her I need to avoid dairy because of my allergy/intolerance. When I got the bread, I ate a piece before noticing there was a good four tablespoons of melted butter in the bottom of the pan. When I confronted the server about it, she said "But there's a piece of paper under it to keep it separate!" Another time I was asking if there was any dairy in a recipe, and was told no, and I said "Are you sure? No milk, butter, margarine?" and the lady said "Oh, I think there's a little bit of butter in it," and when I then declined, she said "It's not much, just a half pound in the whole recipe!" Yeah, that's the pan...

I'm trying to lose weight, and the amount of people who, when you say you're fine, say, "oh go on,it will be alright just this once". People don't take no as an answer. Same with allergies. They think "oh, a little bit won't hurt" where it can be fatal.

While my allergies are not to food, they are nonetheless, life threatening is left unattended. I can't stand people who think allergies are all in our heads or just some fad diet thing. I feel like placing a plastic bag over their head and tell them "breathing is just mind over matter, stop doing it, you'll get over it." See how long it takes them to get the message.
