Vegan wedding

They need to suck it up!

no one needs to eat meat every single meal

I'm vegan and wouldn't care at all if you did this. I hate being hungry at events and having nowhere to get food so a snack in the bag is a great idea. I often don't get well catered for so have done this many times (or filled up before I go out...)

A lot of people assume a meal has to contain meat to be filling. It's very strange, I haven't starved in almost 30 years not eating it.

This comment just makes
you seem a twat

They are not inflicting anything on you. They are inviting you to their wedding!

If you dont like it dont go

O was invited to a vegan wedding. I dont eat processed foods and while everything was delicious there was a lot of processed stuff i ate it all as i was very grateful to be invited

Presumably because they don't like the meal that's on offer.

YABU for considering babybell, at least sneak a donut in!

Not a great idea to start drinking alcohol on an empty stomach. If people have been travelling they might not have had time for lunch and there could be drinks provided long before the meal. Also, anybody who's pregnant or diabetic might have a particular need to eat before the meal.

Seriously? The thought of a vegan meal is so shocking you’ll have to fill up on a Babybel? Crap! This is just another ‘let’s poke fun at vegans’ thread!

I’m not vegan but I went to a big family party (about 60 people there, from toddlers to people in their 90s) and the food was not only absolutely fine, it was delicious - and filling. They’d got caterers in and all the food was lush. There was nothing weird, nothing processed - just a buffet but all vegan. It was actually very interesting, picking items to eat. There were vol au vents and recognisable things (but vegan) and lots of tasty new things. Every plate was labelled too. Loads of people went back for seconds. It genuinely was really nice.

So keep an open mind and your fingers crossed that they’ve got a caterer of the same quality 🥦 🍅 🫑 🥑 🍚 🌽 🍝

I went to a vegan wedding. Not my thing at all but we went Pizza Hut buffet beforr the ceremony, tried abit of the vegan food, then food on the way home. I survived

@LuckySantangelo35 being hungry won't kill, but what's the issue with people not wanting to feel hungry?

Take snacks a bad enjoy, you don't have to share my snacks.

@muggart

why? It’s not gonna kill you to feel hungry

@Alwaysalwayscold

why would anyone need to eat anything outside of the provided meals?

I'm not sure how a menu can look tiny unless it specifies portion sizes e.g a 2 inch square slice of (vegan) pastry topped with one cube of butternut squash and a quarter of a sage leaf, accompanied by one jersey royal and two fine green.

Am I the only one thinking that what is really strange in this is the notion of taking snacks to a wedding? I just can't say I've ever seen anyone whip a snack out of their handbag. I agree that sometimes there is a wait for food but I'd feel really awkward, getting out a snack. Isn't it offensive to the host? You're almost saying 'I knew you wouldn't feed me enough so I brought my own.' I'd just eat a meal before going. Or maybe just buy some nuts or something from the bar.

I don't think I am.

It's fine to take snacks whenever you go and it's fine for those snacks to be food you want to eat.

I bring food everywhere with me in case I get hungry. I hate having my access to food in someone else's control.

That said, I'm a bit surprised that you think the menu is tiny. What does that even mean?

They're choosing to provide a vegan meal, but they can't dictate what people choose to eat outside of that meal.

You can take whatever snack you want? As long as you take yourself off somewhere to eat it if it’s not vegan.

The idea that because you’re invited to a vegan wedding you must only eat vegan foods while you’re there, or you’d be insulting your hosts, is weird and pathetic.

ETA I’m not a vegan but wouldn’t mind a vegan wedding breakfast at all. But if I fancied taking something non vegan as a snack - if I felt I’d need a snack, I would - I just wouldn’t eat it anywhere near other guests.

I'm a meat eater but my neice and her now husband had a vegan menu at their wedding - it was delicious! Gorgeous Canapés and then an Italian three course (third course being home made cakes)
I never even thought to take my own food.
I asked the chef for her recipes!

Or in her handbag like the late Queen did with Paddington Bear

Impossible to tell without timings and the menu op

A lot of people are assuming that the OP is only assuming she will be peckish because it's a vegan wedding. That may be so, but another possible interpretation is that she is thinking:

• There's often not enough food at weddings and sometimes you're standing around for ages while the photos are taken. I'm going to need something to keep me going till the meal.
• What can I take in my bag that will keep me going? Does it matter that my snack of choice is not vegan?

Not quite the same as most people here are assuming.

🙄

Overreacting much??

I know right!

weddings do really bring out the gluttony in some people it seems

they receive an invite and all then they start to think about is FOOD FOOD FOOD
