AITA for telling my son most I will not be going to his black out wedding dinner
My son and future DIL are getting married in about 6 months. it is going to be a small wedding and overall I was excited until now.
My figure DILs family have some blind people in the family. She is blind in one eye while her dad is completely blind.
The wedding is going to be small and not atformal venue. They want to get married in a small church and then go out to eat at a nice restaurant.
this weekend I learned where they wanted to go out to eat after the church part, it is a black out dinning experience. That means you eat your food in the dark.
i don’t like this at all… I don’t like the dark and I have allergies. The idea of not being able to see the food I am eating freaks me out. Yes I know the restaurant is suppose to take care of allergies but still it freaks me out.
I thought about it and I told my son that I won’t be able to attend if it is this. He got upset and it turned into an argument. he is upset I told him I wouldn’t go if it was at this place and basically said I should suck it up. I told him he shouldn’t do this for dinner in the first place and I am sure other people will not be comfortable doing it
just not attending the dinner, I will be there for the church wedding
my allergies is serious, I swell up like a balloon and my throat closes, in the dark if that happens I would trying to jab myself with an epi pen in the dark and would need to go to the hospital. cross contamination is always a concern.
