The dog, a well-trained Doberman called Angel, helps the woman to avoid passing out and alerts her when she needs to eat sugar

The author’s cousin, however, decided to have a sugar-free wedding and also said not to bring Angel to the reception as her toddler was afraid of big dogs

The author asked the bride-to-be to make a food exception in the menu for her, but the cousin neglected the plea. So the woman brought Angel anyway
When the bride’s kid saw Angel, he threw a tantrum and both the author and the dog were kicked out of the venue
But thenthe weddingof the OP’s cousin, ‘Chloe,’ was approaching, and our heroine, in addition to being invited, had an important role to play – she made a slideshow for the bride as a gift and selected all the music. And everything would have been fine if not for two nuances.
First – Chloe is ‘a health nut,’ according to the OP’s words, and she had planned a completely sugar-free menu for her wedding. Second, the youngest son of Chloe and her fiance has been afraid of big dogs ever since some other dog barked in his face. Accordingly, the OP had to, firstly, stock up on sweets with her, and secondly, try not to forget to eat them withoutAngel’s help.
The OP asked her cousin if she could order some sweets for her, and the bride-to-be replied something like: “Fine, but you can live without junk for one night!” And when all the guests received a copy of the menu in the morning before the reception, our heroine didn’t find anything in it that contained sugar in any way. Okay, no problem – the girl harnessed up Angel for the night and stocked up on gummy candies. What else could she do?
At first, the author and Angel sat in a secluded corner (the venue allowed the presence of service dogs), and then they moved closer to the music stand to launch a slide show from her laptop. And at that moment the bride’s youngest son saw Angel…
No, the Doberman behaved very nicely, and with not a single movement did he give any reason to accuse him of anything. But the toddler was still scared – and it ended with the OP and the dog literally being kicked out of the wedding right before the slideshow even started.
Moreover, soon the angry bride called the OP, directly accused her of ruiningher wedding, and then demanded compensation for the cost of the slide show (even despite the fact that the author did it herself, for free, just as a gift). Our heroine, of course, was incredibly upset and decided to seek advice and support online.

“Sorry, but when it comes to the choice between the health and even life of one person and the literal adherence to the principles (even the decent ones) of another person, the choice, it seems to me, is rather obvious,” says Irina Matveeva, apsychologistand certified NLP specialist, whomBored Pandaasked for a comment here. “In any case, the bride could partially deviate from her principles in favor of her cousin – but didn’t want to do this.”
“Of course, the little kid is not to blame for anything, and the dog is not to blame for anything either. The only question is that the newlyweds, apparently, considered the threat to the health of their relative to be something insignificant. And they received a ruined wedding in return. And the demand to pay for the slideshow generally looks completely insane,” Irina summarizes.
