Vegan SIL Secretly Calls Caterers To Change Bride’s Wedding Menu, “Full-Blown Soap Opera” Ensues
Planning a wedding is a huge, expensive, and often stressful undertaking. According to the wedding site The Knot, on average, couples spend around $85 per guest. And it goes up every year. But the cost is not the only factor that can cause some anxiety. There’s also the not-so-small matter of selecting the right menu, trying to cater to everyone’s dietary needs, and making sure nobody ends up with anaphylaxis on your big day.
One bride shared how her wedding menu has resulted in what she called a “full-blown soap opera” after she refused to bow down to her SIL’s dietary demands. The guest recently became a vegan and wants the menu changed to accommodate her preference for plant-based meals. She also wants the couple to have a 100% vegan wedding cake so that she can have hers and eat it, too. When she went behind the bride’s back and took matters into her own hands, all hell broke loose.

Vegan wedding food doesn’t have to be boring, but it’s up to you whether you choose to serve it
More and more people are turning to veganism for various reasons—a love for animals, a quest to help save the planet, health reasons… But vegans still only make up less than 2% of the world’s population, according to estimates.
Veganism is not just about what you put on your plate. It’s a philosophy and a way of living, experts say.
“There are many ways to embrace vegan living. Yet one thing all vegans have in common is a plant-based diet avoiding all animal foods such as meat (including fish, shellfish, and insects), dairy, eggs, and honey – as well as avoiding animal-derived materials, products tested on animals and places that use animals for entertainment,” reads the Vegan Society site.
Despite the small percentage of vegans globally, choosing this kind of lifestyle has become easier. The Vegan Society says it has more than 70,000 products and services registered with its Vegan Trademark. Many restaurants, fast-food outlets, hotels, and catering companies also offer vegan options.
According to Deborah Miller Catering, vegan wedding cakes come in all shapes and sizes. And they don’t have to be boring. “From salted caramel and chocolate vegan wedding cake to a triple layer German chocolate vegan wedding cake to a simple vanilla vegan wedding cake with buttercream icing…” notes the catering company’s site. The food experts also suggest adding a few vegan desserts.
“Create the perfect dessert table filled with vegan goods like shots of chocolate-covered espresso beans, chocolate-covered strawberries, and shots of chocolate-covered pretzel bites,” they say.
Vegan desserts can be just as delicious and elegant as traditional ones, adds Brown Brothers Catering company. “Caterers offer a wide selection ranging from plant-based cakes to vegan ice cream that is made with no refined sugars,” reads the site. “Moreover, caterers can also provide gluten-free and nut-free desserts to accommodate guests’ dietary restrictions.”
Brown Brothers suggests serving vegan desserts such as chia pudding, ice cream, muffins, cupcakes, brownies, and doughnuts.

Considering she has only been vegan such a short time and with the wedding 3 months away it is likely that spoiled SIL will be on another fad diet by the time it actually happens anyway.

I apologise for going off topic here, but WHY is BP censoring the word h**h H I G H? Asking especially because in a recent post I used the word bloody and it appeared in all its glory! Weird.

I had a feeling, and when the OP said Maggie is one of those people who jumps on various bandwagons on a whim and then gets bored with them I had it confirmed. Performative veganism just for the sake of getting attention. What a loser.

I still can't get over Americans referring to the main as the "entrée".... the clue is in the name, people. Also, BP? This censorship is getting bloody f*****g stupidly a*****e titty bollocking ridiculous.

Yes, it's an odd one. Does anyone know the entrée ended up being not the entrée?

I would at this point exclude her from the wedding. The nagging was already a bit too much, but that stunt she pulled? No way. Set boundaries early. And if the family doesn't like it, suggest that they can pay for extra vegan options and whatever that spoiled brat wants.

I can’t eat gluten. It makes me really sick. I do not advertise it, and I have never demanded anyone hosting any kind of get together to cater to my dietary restrictions.That’s because my food issues are MY problem, not the host’s. I merely do my best to eat anything gluten free from whatever is offered. Fruit that’s not in a crust, and vegetables that don’t have flour-based gravy, or aren’t breaded and fried, are good enough for me—-and parties generally do have raw fruits, cheese boards, and stuff that never goes anywhere near flour. Many people have been really sweet when they find out about it, and try to provide at least one gluten free option for me at their next party, but I never insist they make the entire menu gluten free. I developed this issue late in life, so I know that most gluten free substitutes taste like s**t in comparison to the real thing. I certainly am not about to force people without my issue to eat gluten free bread, cake, cookies, pasta, etc, because it takes forever, plus a load of money, to find substitutes that might kind of taste like the real thing—-or at least not taste like pure s**t.

So now we can see how the caterer's family might have historically have had problems with this family who thinks that this is acceptable behaviour.
