"I have food allergies so I can relate to this. Anyone, who is a close enough friend to want me at their wedding, already knows about my allergies.
That said, I do not expect any accommodation. It is not about me. I have told them, if the food is something I cannot eat, 'Do not order a meal for me.' These meals are expensive and I won't be able to eat it. I tell them I can eat a meal before I go to the wedding. They know me well enough to know I am sincere. I always take care of this as far in advance, of the actual affair, as possible.
Sometimes, they arrange for a special meal because they are doing this for others as well. If that is the case, I graciously accept their kindness. Life is about flexibility. Oaks break in the wind, Willows bend. "
