How can guests who are fasting or taking time-sensitive medication be accommodated at a wedding?

Direct answer
Arrange an appropriate meal time privately with the guest and caterer rather than asking the guest to follow the main programme regardless of need.
Confirm safe storage and a named person who can provide the meal at the agreed time. Avoid public explanations of fasting, medication or health circumstances. Do not advise anyone to delay or change prescribed treatment for a wedding; those questions belong with their clinician or pharmacist. Flexibility in food service is a practical accommodation, not a medical decision for the hosts.
