I Refused to Have an All-Vegan Menu at My Son’s Wedding

You both deserve each other.

Yes. You. Were. Completely. And. Totally. Wrong.

Maybe she should have had a reception with alternative meal after the wedding celebrations. I personally would not touch anything vegan as I am on a strict carnivore diet. That way everyone could have eaten and had a good time without stepping on anyone's toes.

Let's stick with the ''Was I wrong?'' innuendo...Dam straight you were soooooooooo wrong!...You broke a lil' girls heart with your selfish behaviour...You need shooting!...You showed no amount of care for son or your daughter-inlaw!...You are the guy that goes through a red traffic light where there is no visible traffic & still ask yourself ''Was I wrong?''.....Slap yourself you muppet!

I'm a meat lover & I can honestly say one vegan meal, served at a wedding, isn't going to hurt anyone, unless there are allergen concerns. MIL doesn't say why the DIL is vegan... it could be a choice, it could be her religion, or it could be she's vegan because she has allergies to certain foods (some people are allergic to eggs, some dairy & there are actually meat allergies too). Hate to say it, but the MIL might not be involved in her son's life now after her petty stunt. People talk about how pushy vegans can be, but MIL's action shows meat lovers can be as well.

MIL won the battle and lost the war. She had no right to do what she did regardless of anyone's diatry preferences. She can look forward to a distant relationship with her son and Dil and will miss out on one on one time with her grandkids because no way will she be trusted to be alone with them,who knows what she might feed them if she gets to see them at all. She obviously thinks she is right, well she can be lonely and right,in her mind anyway. Enjoy your solitude you overbearing monster in law.

I think it boils down to what was in the invite. If it was not clear that it was vegan only than no foul. If it was clear then people had a choice to go or not and to bring your own food on such a scale is a foul. I would leave any event where vegan food is the only option. I've had it many times and always felt like I was chewing cardboard.

You are the reason the 'overbearing mother in law' stereotype exists. You could've been a good mom for one day but things had to be your way, which I'm sure you've done to your family your entire life. Which is why you feel entitled now. You are a terrible person and I hope you suffer familial consequences for it.

yes you were wrong! it wasnt your place to change her menu. people can live with a vegetarian menu for one event. stuff some beef sticks in your purse if you feel deprived

If I were your son, I would no longer want you in my life. Your son's wedding is NOT about you. For ONE FREAKING MEAL ON ONE FREAKING DAY you could eat vegan.

YES ! You have a total lack of respect and disregard for the wishes of others - and went all out to spoil her most special day.

She was NOT wrong to order another caterer to supply a non vegan choice. Not everyone appreciates a vegan meal.

Well I think you were 100% right as Vegans are in the minority .............. BUT MY QUESTION DID YOU ALSO PROVIDE A VEGAN MEAL CATERER OPTION ?? if you didnt you are no longer 100% right

for one day one meal I woulld have gracefully aknowldged the
brides wishes. grab a burger before or after. not a hill worth dying over.

YES you were terribly wrong...it was not YOUR day! What a horrible, selfish and disrespectful mother-in-law you are!! Good luck being close to any future grandchildren!!

It was not Mom's day so she should have let the party be vegan. After the wedding you are not required to go to the reception but if you chose to then that is on you. After the festivities Mom could have supported a dining environment to her liking elsewhere.
