But some women do take it too far. Like the woman who refused to offer any food for vegans. Posting on a closed wedding group on Facebook, the bride revealed that she did not ask for her guests’ dietary requirements. So she was shocked to see people had RSVPd to the invite asking if vegan food would be an option.
She made it clear it was not, saying anyone on a plant-based diet can bring their own food. She wrote that it ‘irked’ her that two of her vegan friends wrote ‘all over’ the wedding invitations asking for non-animal based food.
The bride-to-be mentioned that the only people she might consider making adjustments for were the parents but for anyone else’s extra requirements, it was ‘no’.
‘Nowhere on the RSVP does it ask what guests want to eat at the reception. Nowhere,’ the bride wrote on the chat. ‘We are not making special food accommodations. If our parents needed something, sure. Them? No.’ She asked the followers of the group how she should go about it all and said she was considering ignoring it and just enjoying the big day.
On the day, she and the husband-to-be organized for tacos to be served but had no plans for vegans to be fed. ‘What are they going to eat? The lettuce and beans? I feel like my fiancé should speak to [them] in advance to let her know what we are having for dinner,’ she said.
‘They can bring their own food or order from the restaurant property (but it’s BBQ lol) at their own cost.’
The responses were mixed. Some people felt that the guests were being picky and could simply eat before or after the wedding. One woman wrote she had specific food allergies but didn’t expect the wedding party to cater to her needs specifically.
Another said: ‘I’d definitely say inform all guests as they know to make alternate plans for food, but that’s about it.’ Some people felt the bride was being unreasonable. One person wrote: ‘I seem to be the odd one out here for making sure my vegan and veggie friends will have something to eat.
