Vegan wedding

Obviously you have a life so vacant and lacking in stress you get that wound up by someone having a different opinion to you 🤷‍♀️

There is no need to resort to insults because someone has a different opinion to you. I respect your opinion to eat/enjoy vegan food, respect for others opinions is not your strong point.

No, it's not. They have chosen what food to offer as does any couple getting married. As a guest it is rude and selfish to disrespect your hosts.

Also the couple will have chosen a caterer. If they are plant based only caterers for instance then they wouldn't be able to offer meat anyway.

I wonder what you think vegan food is? This all looks great, although I expect it's at the expensive end. https://sandonhall.co.uk/blog/vegan-wedding-catering-inspiration-for-your-menu/

Jayzuzzzz. Grow up. They’re inviting people to join them while they get married, not hosting a party for the guests. The couple have made a menu choice, guests can choose not to go. One meal. Hardly a big deal.

I dream of a life so vacant and lacking in stress that I could actually get this wound up about one fucking meal 🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, MN is so batshit sometimes.

Babybels? What are you, 5? Get a grip and eat like a grown up. I’m sure you’ll be able to manage on non animal products for 1 meal.

You know exactly what I mean, vegan food is not mainstream to most people and a significant number do not enjoy it. Knowingly inflicting undesirable food a significant proportion of your guests will not enjoy, when they are there for a full day with no other options is selfish, rude, controlling and very poor hosting.

honesty this vegan and no drink weddings are so mind 🤯. We are getting married next year and made sure I catered for vegan vegetarians and those with intolerances . It’s important people enjoy themselves. Why can’t people just stop being self centred and actually be good hosts .

This 😂. It’s so weird that everyone is losing their mind over a baby cheese. It’s not like she’s smuggling in a baby spit roast pig 😂

Vegans can be extremists is the BEST thing I’ve read on this thread yet 😂😂😂😂. What a legend 😂

Sounds to me like they just had shit caterers.

I'd say that's more about the caterers than the choice of diet. Caterers and restaurants etc often fail badly mainly because they view it as an afterthought.

They're not inflicting their beliefs. Guests who aren't vegan can actually eat vegan food without contravening their own beliefs. A meat eater can eat meat, fish, dairy and plant based meals. There's no conflict. Deliberately risking upset to the bride and groom at their wedding, however, is insulating and not on.

Start the day with a full fry up. It'll keep you going until the evening.

Eat as much as you want.

Keep a cool box on tbe boot of the car with supplies stashed away.

I don’t get the posts about the couple inflicting their beliefs on guests. It is ONE meal. If they are vegan for animal rights or environmental reasons it seems a bit much to expect them to compromise their consciences by buying a load of meat/dairy for the celebration of their own wedding. They’re feeding people. It might be an unusual meal for some but they are still getting fed.
Bringing your own snacks if you think you’ll be hungry is probably fine isn’t it?

You're not being unreasonable. I went to a vegan wedding a couple of years ago. I was there for about 9-10 hours. (1:00 PM to 11:00pm) (An all-day fucker!) To be quite honest, I wish I'd smuggled a block of cheese in, and some chocolate and some crisps or something.

We were given appetisers and snacks and whatever, and a 4 course vegan meal. And to be honest with you, any thoughts I'd ever had to become a vegan were quickly extinguished. The food was so bland and boring and dull and limp and largely tasteless. 40 guests at the Wedding Breakfast all looking at each other like what the fuk is this? If I'm invited to another (long/all day) wedding that has a vegan menu, I'm not going.

@Babysharkdoodoodood YANBU take the cheese! 🧀

Surely no one is this self-absorbed in real life - it’s one meal 🤣

Either go, eat the food, be happy for the bride and groom, or don’t. No one cares.

People who are a bit judgy about snacks. Some folk have to bring things to eat as they can't guarantee that they will be able to eat the food provided, even if has been discussed beforehand. It's not uncommon to arrive having been promised a meal for your allergy only to find it's been forgotten or contains something it shouldn't. I never go out for the day without a basic packup unless I am utterly certain I will be able to eat when I get there.

I'm a vegan and I wouldn't have a problem with this if it was my wedding, mind you I buy my kids baby bels!

If the bride and groom would disapprove / be upset i think you should respect their wishes though. Could you not just bring a vegan snack?

👍for seitan yum yum

To be fair most weddings would come under “belief system”.

those arguing that vegan food is forcing someone’s beliefs on you- did you get married? Imo that also comes under forcing beliefs on someone, particularly if there was any sort of religious aspect.

i don’t believe in marriage. I don’t believe in soulmates or promising forever. But I’ll go to friends and families weddings to support them and their beliefs.

if someone wants to serve vegan food I don’t see why people can’t go and support them in that. If you are vehemently against veganism, don’t go, in the same way you shouldn’t be going to a church wedding if you are vehemently opposed to religion.

it’s one meal. Ime wedding food is shit anyway, vegan or not. And yes to the pp who’ve said that many weddings involves waiting around hungry while photos or whatever are being done. You don’t go for the food, you go for the wedding.

Two easy ways to get b12 for vegans are

marmite and nutritional yeast flakes.

@ChurchOfSeitan

Yes it’s asshole-ish and rude. Have you even seen the menu?

Vegan food is just food? And I say this as a confirmed carnivore. It won’t kill you to eat a veg based meal.

😂😂😂

You're not wrong! DH and I were at a wedding once where the 'drinks reception' took so long that we nipped out for a carvery and were back before we were missed..!
