When she got to the place around 8 to 9 p.m., she saw that many people were already feeling really sick with symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, and stomachaches. 

Even though it was a worrying situation, Aranza still decided to eat her meal. 

She had wild mushrooms with goat's cheese and tomato sauce as a starter, and then she had chicken with spinach, tarragon, sweet potato purée, and asparagus.

It remains unclear which specific course caused the widespread illness among the guests. 

Aranza had to be taken away from the event because she was feeling so bad, and then she ended up in the hospital. She had to get treatment through a tube in her arm.

Some guests could leave the hospital after four to five hours, but others had to stay there for several days.

There were videos taken at the wedding that showed how chaotic it became when people got sick from the food. 

In one video, two women were sitting on a chair, and it looked like they had just thrown up. The bride and groom were said to have helped the guests who were affected.
