Our Gluten-free wedding!

About five years ago Mr. PF was diagnosed with Celiac disease. For those who aren't familiar with what that is, he is basically allergic to wheat, flour, barley and rye. Have you ever looked at the ingredients in products your eating? Gluten is in like, everything, y'all!Image via NaturalBuy

After struggling with it for about a year, he is completely gluten-free and he is much happier and healthier. So, what does all this mean when you're planning a wedding? Well, we aren't going to have a cake since he can't eat it anyways. That means no cake face smash pictures that I love so much like Mrs. Prarie Dog. :(

Also, we had to be very careful what we had on our menu. Luckily our venue was very willing to work with us and everything on on menu will be gluten-free! Some of Mr. PF's family members also have Celiac disease, so they will be able to eat the food without any worries.

The only thing that will not be gluten-free is our bar. There is gluten is beer and so we decided that as long as we have other stuff for Mr. PF to drink, we can keep the beer for all our barley loving guests.

All in all, there were some things we had to avoid like bread and an amazing wedding cake, but at least Mr. PF will be able to eat freely at our wedding.

What are some obstacles you had to overcome while planning your wedding? Do any of y'all have a gluten intolerance?
