Aside from the fact that the sister-in-law's requests are completely entitled, they are also unreasonable. Curating a wedding menu is already expensive, but adding on a whole new dish to the spread would cost the bride more money than it's worth for one person on a vegan diet. Maybe the bride could request a single vegan dish, but even then, she'd be giving into her future sister-in-law's entitled wishes. It's the principle of the situation.

The future mother-in-law's passive-aggressive pleas to change the menu, especially when the cost wouldn't be coming out of her pocket, make the situation even more complicated. Luckily, the bride's soon-to-be husband sees through his family's actions and supports her wholeheartedly.
The group chat debacle seems a bit infantile for adults to be partaking in, but at the end of the day, the bride is standing firm in her decision, as she should. Commenters are reminding the bride that it is, in fact, her wedding. Not her future sister-in-law's or mother-in-law's.

Bride rightfully refuses to change entire wedding menu for her future sister-in-law who has only been vegan for 2 weeks: ‘I’m standing firm’
Wedding planning might start off as an exciting venture, but most brides soon realize it is one of the most stressful periods in their lives. Also, it's not cheap. Every penny has a place, so finding a way to make your budget work within your wants and needs is essential to having a cost-effective and enjoyable wedding.
What is the best part about wedding planning, though? YOU get to choose the flowers, the chairs, the drinks, and the menu. Of course, it'd be great to have tens of different entrée options during your sit-down reception, but again—money. So, the best thing to do is to survey your guest list and ensure everyone can eat something off the menu that you're paying for. If someone has a "Eureka!" moment and decides to become vegan five months after you've finalized your wedding menu, that's not your problem.
In this next story, a bride-to-be explains that her future sister-in-law recently (2 weeks ago) became vegan. Her sister-in-law started to complain about the menu and how there were only vegetarian options available, so she proceeded to request a vegan meal be added to the menu. In addition, she even asked the bride to change her cake to a vegan cake. At this point, bring a lunchbox or something… The entitlement is real, but we'll let you read the entire story so you can see how this bride stands firm in her decision.
