A bride is dividing a lot of people on the internet after sharing what she ate on her wedding day.

TikToker Sam Cutler posted her wedding menu online, which included gluten-free bread, a sugar-free wedding cake and what seemed to cause the most outrage: anti-bloat pills on every table.

Cutler, who runs the account @thefitfatale, posted the video to showcase what she ate on her wedding day as a gluten-free and dairy-free bride.

The video starts off with Cutler getting ready in the bridal suite, sipping on protein smoothies and her maid-of-honour feeding her a grain salad.

The bride then snacks on a veggie platter before moving on to oysters and plantain avocado bites during cocktail hour.

During the wedding, Cutler is seen sitting at the table and eating a chopped salad and mentions there was also gluten-free bread.

"Then we had an intermezzo course. This is basically just ice and lemon to cleanse the palate," the bride shared before moving on to the salmon and veggie main course.

Cutler is then shown taking an Arrae bloat pill and she mentions that all the guests had access to them as they were on every table.

As for dessert, that consisted of gluten, dairy and sugar-free chocolate cake and a table filled with low-sugar treats like Unreal chocolates and Smart Sweets.

The wedding party finished the night off with a late-night taco bar.

"For alcohol, I only had Cote des Roses rosé because I know it's less than two grams of sugar and I had Moet Chandon because I know that I can feel good when I'm drinking these two beverages."

WHAT I ATE ON MY #WEDDINGDAY as a #glutenfree & #dairyfree health focused #bride 🤍 #weddingtiktok #fitbride #healthyliving #wieiad #whatiate

The TikTok video racked up over 4 million views in just a few days with many people blasting the menu items.

"LMFAO I cannot imagine having an eating disorder-themed wedding," one person wrote and got over 19,000 likes on the comment.

"It’s a special day, it’s okay to have sugar babe!!!" another TikTok user commented.

Many people seemed outraged by the fact that anti-bloat pills were provided to all the guests.

"Can you imagine going to a wedding and on the tables are anti-bloating gummies?! Byyyyeeeeeeeeee," one comment reads.

"Not laxatives as the wedding favor," another person wrote.

Some people also pointed out that guests were probably hungry during the event because of the type of food that was served.

"Having only a veggie platter in the bridal suite is a one-way ticket to blackout city," one person wrote.

Another commenter said they would be "hitting up Taco Bell" had they attended the wedding.

Aside from the criticism, some people did back the bride up for finding foods with specific dietary restrictions.

"As someone who has to be [gluten-free], and [dairy-free], this made me so happy to see you confidently make this work, I know it took so much planning ahead," one person wrote in the comments.

"People hating but they have no freaking idea how hard it is to find any kind of food that is gf and df😅 sometimes a veggie platter is the way to go!" another person stated.

When it comes to the backlash, Cutler tells Narcity a lot of things in her video were "taken out of context" by a lot of people who don’t follow her on social media.

She also highlights that many people leaving comments are unaware of her story and how she’s worked with health care professionals to deal with her chronic gut issues, intolerances and regulating inflammation.

"The responses from viewers bring up a larger conversation around food shaming, tossing around medical terms to 'diagnose' people on social media, and shedding light on the food culture in North America, alongside a lack of empathy and education towards intolerances," she added.

"I am a strong believer that everyone needs to find what works for them to feel their best."

Cutler also says when it comes to certain comments like "it’s one day, live a little" she notes that "to speak in that way to someone who will actually be sick from eating something is not only insensitive it's also misinformed."

"My wedding was one of the most important days of my life and there was no reason I was going to eat things that I am intolerant to and know will make me sick," she told Narcity.

"I was focused on being present, feeling f**king awesome and spending the night with my husband on the dance floor until 2 a.m.!"

Cutler has also posted a follow-up TikTok video to address the comment that called her big day an "eating disorder-themed wedding."

Replying to @Lilith! TW if you struggle with mental health challenges or eating dissorders. I hope this can inspire some to find what works for their bodies proudly without shame, and others to rethink the way they judge, speak and communicate with human beings. Sending so much love 🤍 #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthylifestyle

In the video, Cutler explains why comments like the one she received are "never" okay.

"I hope this can inspire some to find what works for their bodies proudly without shame, and others to rethink the way they judge, speak and communicate with human beings," she wrote in the caption.

As someone who is intolerant to gluten and dairy, Cutler says her goal with posting the video was to inspire other women who are in the same boat health wise and to show them that a "balanced lifestyle is still possible."

She also hopes her video will inspire future couples to feel empowered to pick the options they want when planning their wedding day.

"Regardless of what a bride and groom choose on their wedding, from the type of ceremony they have, to the food they consume or serve, I hope this only encourages them to make the choices for them on their special day. We certainly did," Cutler said.
