There's a lot of the wildest sort of behavior going on with this wedding, and it's hard to believe that anyone walks away from this looking very good…

Forcing the things you like upon other people will be met with varied success. But, then and again, it is your day, and you should have it pretty much exactly how you want it. But, even still, you have made somewhat of an obligation to properly feed the people who have gathered together to celebrate you (though there will be wildly different opinions of what "properly" is), and there's nothing worse than being left hungry at a wedding due to a lack of food.

Still, regardless of how you might feel about the host's choice of food, you can imagine it would be wildly inappropriate to go ahead and usurp the proceedings at a wedding by rolling 20 meaty pizzas through the door of your vegan cousin's wedding before dinner is even properly served.

    AITA for serving only vegan food at my wedding without telling anyone, then getting upset when my family ordered 20 pizzas during the reception? I (28F) just had my wedding last weekend. My husband (30M) and I have been vegan for 3 years, and we decided to have an all- vegan reception dinner. We spent months working with an amazing chef to create a gourmet 5-

    course meal that just happened to be vegan - think mushroom wellington, truffle risotto, roasted vegetable tarts, etc. We spent nearly $15,000 on the food alone. We deliberately didn't mention the food was vegan on the invitations because we wanted people to enjoy it without prejudice. Every dish was designed to be delicious and satisfying, regardless of dietary preference.

    The ceremony was beautiful, but during the reception, I noticed my brother Tom (32M) wasn't at his table. Twenty minutes later, I watched in horror as he and my cousins walked in carrying 20 large pizzas. They started distributing them to guests, announcing "Real food for anyone who wants it!"

    I was mortified. The caterers looked so embarrassed, and several guests hadn't even tried our carefully planned menu yet. When I confronted Tom, he said my aunt had texted him that "all the food is just vegetables" and they "couldn't let people go hungry at a wedding."

    The pizza completely upstaged our expensive gourmet meal. People were taking photos and treating it like a joke. My mother- in-law posted on Facebook about how her son's wedding was "saved by pizza" because the bride tried to "force everyone to eat rabbit food."

    I ended up crying in the bathroom, and my husband. asked Tom and the cousins to leave. This caused a scene, and now half the family is calling us stuck-up and saying we ruined our own wedding by "pushing our beliefs" on everyone. They're saying we should have warned people about the vegan menu.

    AITA for not announcing the menu was vegan, and then getting upset about the pizza?

    AlwaysHelpful22 • 6h ago Be honest, you didn't tell anyone about the menu because you knew they wouldn't like it/come if you did. This doesn't make you an AH, but people could have eaten beforehand if they knew the menus weren't to their liking.

    . MrMakarov · 6h ago ESH. I mean ordering pizzas was out of line but you hid it on purpose knowing people wouldn't like the idea of it. Yes it's your special day but being deceptive doesn't help anyone

    RenaH80 4h ago • • ESH. Honestly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to serve a vegan meal at your wedding, but you didn't disclose that because you KNEW folks were going to have responses to it. A heads up would have been the right move here. The bringing pizzas was also an AH move,

    but no one was right. I'm an omnivore and eat tons of fruits and veggies, but I can't eat high fiber veggies. or mushrooms. I'm allergic to soy. I hate coconut milk. Often times the swaps people make to make food vegan dont work for me. Idk what I would eat at your wedding.. when folks have

    Omni menus I can usually eat at least the meat or fish proteins and veggies. Knowing means I can eat before I go and bring some sneaky snacks in my handbag.

    ✓KANG... 6h ago Edited 6h ago. ESH. Listen, I'm a vegan, but this is classic self-righteous noob vegan bulls that you tried to pull. I wouldn't eat most of that rancid sh you served. When you're catering to a crowd you actually have to cater to them. You don't treat it like some kind of gastronomic lecture. It was a move of your brother to do that, but I am not surprised at all.
