I exaggerate only a little when I ask: Have you met my wife?
(Her pickiness when it comes to fruits and veggies has her mostly avoiding them unless they can be acquired farm-fresh, and never cooked.)
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Good For You!

This. Of course, the pizza would upset the bride. And since she was upset, they won.
Wife and I went to one recently. It was in the backyard of the bride and groom. And bringing in meat would probably ended up in getting tossed from the reception.
Afterward we went to restaurant and had some meat. Arby’s, I think. They have the meat. (/r)

Although with all the meats that they have, do they have to get a new commercial voiceover every few months after each one gets a heart attack?

Inconsiderate to serve only vegan without mentioning it on the invite.
100% valid and fine to only serve vegan while mentioning it if you are prepared for people to skip your wedding because of it.
Inconsiderate to bring in your own food regardless, if you want to do that then eat it in your car or something. Or leave the wedding if you need meat that badly.

I’ve been vegan for almost 5 years. First thing I’ll say is while there may be moral reasons behind that, I would never confront anyone about their own choices.
If I got married again, I would 100% mention it on the invites if we decided to only serve vegan food. If the bride was upset then that’s on her for not mentioning it up front. However ordering the pizzas and bringing them in without mentioning it to the wedding party is also bad. I get the feeling all of these people are idiots though.
Also I noticed OP mentioned “fruit and veggies” many times ITT. Not criticizing, but fruits and veggies are only a part of a well balanced meal. Grains and proteins are a huge part of my diet.

It goes without saying everyone who came to the wedding knew the bride and groom were vegans. What did they expect?

The couple gets to choose the meal, not the guests, they did nothing wrong. Picky eaters need to prepare accordingly any time they are not in control of the meal decision, and at a wedding, they should step away while doing this.
Ordering pizza in order to eat some meat? That’s just dumb as the meat to food ratio is barely different from what has already been provided. Probably worse if your real goal is protein.
Sounds like some snowflakes were offended by being asked to eat some hippy food.

If the reception meal includes things that people can eat (why I assume some have the beef/chicken/fish options) then I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Unless there are allergies, everyone can eat vegan even if they don’t like it. Shut up and discretely eat something in the parking lot if necessary.

I would only give them a pass if they had an open bar.
Then…ok

Al Michaels claims to have never eaten a vegetable.
But, but, everyone NEEDS to know MY opinion!!
to me it depends why they are vegan.
If it is humanity reasons, then I get why they would go vegan.
If it their health preference, then they are just inconsiderate hosts
Hopefully real entree’s not just a dish of veggies.
and hopefully choices, with some variety
For my kids B’nai Mitzvahs, we used a kosher caterer, so no pork or shellfish
For my kids’ weddings, we had pork, if it was a menu choice or passing option
(didn’t have it if it was the only served app before the main meal)
If someone brings in “other” food to a Kosher or Halal affair should be removed from the premises.
Considering the number of people my mother-in-law added to our guest list, who didn’t really know us…I’m not certain that’s a safe assumption to make
On the other hand, the stereotypical vegan isn’t shy about their vegan-ness.
This was the joke.

This seems like a strange attitude to me. Why does it make any difference if the hosts serve vegan food because they like it or they’re eating it for health reasons? It’s their wedding.
Would it be inconsiderate for a white couple that loves Indian food to have Indian food served at their wedding? How about Chinese?
How adventurous is a couple allowed to be in their food choice before it’s inconsiderate? I’m guessing that serving insects as a main or super spicy food is probably wrong (though I’ve been to crawfish boils where the host had no qualms about using what I found to be an excess of seasoning). On the other hand it seems like there’s a lot of space between boring, bland chicken or roast beef and something too adventurous.

Weddings can bring out some pretty eccentric behaviors.
Marginal slights get magnified to an extent that is absurd if you are a logical person.
Social media makes this much worse now.
Ah, I see where F_A went wrong.

actually yes. That is pretentious and as a guest I would be upset. Personally I dislike Indian
a considerate host offers options. Want to have something adventurous, great, if that is all there is, then you are an ass
