A model refuses to be a bridesmaid at her best friend’s wedding, citing the unhealthy menu choices as her main concern.
A Brazilian model and bodybuilder, Tiele Azambuja, recently made headlines when she decided not to be a bridesmaid at her best friend’s wedding.
The reason? She was unhappy with the unhealthy food options planned for the celebration.
Model refuses to be a bridesmaid at her BFF’s wedding over unhealthy menu
Tiele, who is known for her dedication to fitness, felt that the wedding menu did not align with her lifestyle choices.
At 29 years old, she takes her health and diet very seriously.
When she learned that she would not be allowed to bring her own food to the event, she made the difficult choice to withdraw from the bridal party.
“I take my lifestyle very seriously,” Tiele explained.
As a fitness influencer, she has specific dietary needs and follows a strict meal plan.
”Discipline is essential for the results I aim for,” continued the fitness influencer.
“And I knew that on the wedding day, with so many dishes full of sugar and carbs, my meal prep would be essential.”
She knew that the wedding would feature many dishes high in sugar and carbohydrates, which would not fit into her diet.
The model requested a healthier menu for the wedding before the refusal
Before backing out, Tiele suggested to the bride that a healthier menu could be prepared.
However, her friend did not agree with the idea.
This rejection led Tiele to conclude that she could not participate in the wedding.
“If I couldn’t bring my meals, I wouldn’t attend the wedding,” she stated firmly.
This decision did not come easily for Tiele. She had already purchased her dress and wanted to support her friend on such an important day.
However, she felt that maintaining her health was more important than attending the wedding.
The request impacted their friendship significantly.
The fallout from this situation has caused tension between Tiele and her friend.
While wedding planning can be stressful, it is not uncommon for conflicts to arise between brides and their bridesmaids.
Many have experienced similar issues, sometimes leading to broken friendships.
Tiele has expressed pride in her decision. “I understand it’s her day, but I also need to take care of my body and health,” she said.
For her, it was essential to stay true to her values and the discipline she has built over the years.
She believes that making healthy choices is a fundamental part of her life.
Despite the conflict, Tiele does not regret her decision.
She feels that honoring her commitment to her health was the right choice.
“It was a hard choice, but I know what I did was right for me,” she reflected.
Social media reactions
Tiele’s stance has sparked various reactions from people online.
Some agree with her approach to health, while others feel she could have compromised for her friend’s special day.
The reactions highlight the ongoing debate about diet culture and personal choices during events like weddings.
Plastic surgery is also unhealthy but that didn’t stop her, one user said.
I don’t think eating was a condition of you being in her wedding, the second user wrote.
Things like this make you realize who your REAL friends are, the third user said.
Youre not that hot. You actually look like AI. Get over yourself. None of you is real including your character, another user wrote.
She needs to get over herself! She and the bride are supposed to be BFF’s. Make an exception for cryin’ out loud. Some friend. smh, someone user said.
