Do you know how many weddings I have been to where they didn't even consider me in their food choices?! One of my best friends got married last year, I've known her since 5th grade. I threw her a bachlorette party and everything. Well anyway, I get to the wedding and all they had for me was mashed patatoes! They didn't consider me in their menu choice at all! They had chicken and ribs for everyone else. And you know what they said to me at the wedding... they said "Wasn't the food great?!" I just smiled and looked away... Well my point is that after all the weddings that I have been to where they did not consider me in the slightest, I am definately having a vegetarian wedding and I don't care what anyone says! Because when you get married your day is all about you and your husband! Rock on vegetarians! I have been a vegetarian for 6 years.

Carol Adams (wrote The Sexual Politics of Meat) talks about this really well. Tell someone who is insecure about their meat diet that you are a vegetarian and the right away attack everything about you. "Do you wear leather?" is usally the first question. Stay strong veggies! love this post. not only are you feeding them for free, you are giving them free booze. now they really need to be quiet. meat eaters always eat all the vegetarian food and then complain. ever see a vegetarian eat all the steak and then complain? we just find some vegetarian food and make due.

I'm toying with my wedding (not getting married for a few years) and I'm a vegetarain, my husband to be is not. We live in Texas (Steak, anyone?) where my ideas and ideals are not always on the same wavelenth as everyone else. By all means, if you're paying to feed a herd at your reception, they have absolutley no right to be upset that the free meal they are receiving isn't what they want/expect. You're inviting them to your wedding, feeding them for free, and providing them an excuse to get dressed up and have fun. They should be grateful. That’s awesome.
