Vegan wedding

[Babysharkdoodoodood]

Would it be asshole-ish of me to smuggle babybels in my handbag?

The menu looks very tiny, and I don't intend to eat it in front of anyone, just find a dark corner. It's the only meal at the whole event.

I did think of peperami but it's vile and stinky.

👍for seitan yum yum

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?

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.

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.

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! 🧀

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?

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.

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.

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.

Sounds to me like they just had shit caterers.

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

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 😂

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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/

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.

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.

I have to been to a vegan wedding, and the food was amazing. So many people brought up to think a meal is only satisfying (or even a meal) if it has meat in it... yet will conveniently forget about beans on toast.

It wont kill you to have a vegan meal.

Saying that, wedding meals are often a bit on the small side anyway, so stashing away some Baby Bel is fine (I would be taking a sharing bag of crisps). I did once go o a wedding where the meal was a carvery. We were all stuffed!

Ypu don't have ro broadcast the fact you have snacks with you so take the Babybel and be discreet

SO if 'grown-ups' aren't allowed babybels, what should the OP take? Half a block of Double Gloucester? A pack of cheese strings? A pack of flat cheese slices?

What 'cheese' do you deem adult and grown up enough oh wise one? 🙄DO enlighten us seeing as you insist babybels are only for infants!

This thread makes me embarrassed for my fellow meat-eaters.

Good hosts will want to choose food most of their guests will enjoy, not intentionally choose a menu a significant portion of guests will not.

If their diet choices mean more to them than being a good host, knowing it might leave guests hungry, then their choice.

And to the 'it's just one fucking meal. Get over it. Grow up!' posters. It's not just one meal. A lot of weddings are 10 hours or more long now, so you are stuck with this fucking putrid vegan shit all day.
