A model has revealed that she backed out of being a bridesmaid at her best friend’s wedding because the menu didn’t fit with her strict diet.
When Tiele Azambuja’s longtime best friend asked for her to be a bridesmaid, she eagerly accepted the role.
But the model and fitness guru, from Brazil, had one condition: she wanted to bring her own food along.
Dedicated to her strict lifestyle and diet, it was non-negotiable for the 29-year-old.
And so, when her best friend said she wouldn’t be allowed, she ultimately declined to attend her special day and be up front at the altar.
‘I take my lifestyle very seriously,’ Tiele, who boasts nearly 10,000 followers on Instagram, said recently.
‘Discipline is essential for the results I aim for, and I knew that on the wedding day, with so many dishes full of sugar and carbs, my meal prep would be essential.
‘[The bride] argued that the entire ceremony would last almost 12 hours and since I eat every three hours, it didn’t make sense to me not to bring my meals.
‘Skipping my diet wasn’t an option, even though I had already bought the dress.
‘If I couldn’t bring my meals, I wouldn’t attend the wedding.’

Tiele, who was the Miss BumBum 2024 runner up, said that her request to pack her own food led to a massive disagreement between the her and the bride.
She said her pal felt that the focus should be on her big day, and that Tiele’s meal prep would only distract guests.
But the influencer disagreed, adding that she deserved to be able to maintain her routine.
She said: ‘I understand it’s her day, but I also need to take care of my body and health. I can’t just step out of my diet overnight.’
