A lovely couple we know are getting married, and we (as a family) have been invited to their special day.
Both are extremely passionate vegans, their life, fair play.
The menu is only vegan options. I'll eat anything. The children however, of the 2 options to pick from aren't going to be touched.
We've asked them if it would be ok if they picked something off the non vegan menu (at the hotel) told straight up no.
Now, i get their position, however on our own wedding day some years back WE ensured that their dietary needs were full catered for, paying extra for them to have something not on the menu. (the only people out of 80/90 that were vegans)
To ensure the peace is kept we've said to not bother with ordering food for the kids, and before/after the food we'll take the kids away from the main event to get them something to fill their tummy's... told that isn't an option.
As I see it;
- our kids not wanting that food is OUR problem
- we've offered a suggestion to them save money
- we've taken the worry away from them
- but they are basically saying they must order food from the vegan menu, not eat it, and can't leave the room after to get food that they would like.
Starting to think i might not bother going at this rate... but the great minds of TWTD might be able to tell me otherwise.
Oh, and its strictly alcohol free, not free as in drink all you want, free as in not a drop! |  | | |  |

would this be an appropriate thread to advertise the twtd BBQ? |
Of course..... never a bad time to mention the wonderous BBQ Happening
Veg and vegan options always available, seperate cooking facilities/ untensils etc
The event strives to be fully inclusive, I even allow non -Town fans to attend [Post edited 17 Oct 2025 18:37]

For what it’s worth unless you are heavily invested in the friendship cut your losses now these type of people (not vegans) will always be a pain. When they have kids it will all be about little Billy you will always be giving in, friendships are like relationships there needs to be give and take.obviously do what you think is right but trust me in 20 years time you will be asking why they don’t talk to you anymore and blaming yourselves. |  | | |

They sound unreasonable to me. You’ve rightly been sensitive to their wishes (it is their day after all) and offered work arounds and it’s been thrown back in your face. They certainly can’t dictate to you whether or not you take your kids out to find them something to eat. Unless you’re going to be tied up (it’s not that sort of gathering, is it lol?).
If I was in your shoes I’d go with the flow for ordering (not ordering for the kids probably). And then in the day just do what you want. They’ll be too busy to notice if you disappear for an hour. |  |

I'm really sorry, but I don't really understand the first paragraph.
I might be miles off it here, but is there a suggestion I've made up this scenario?
What a waste of my time that would be. Of course if that isn't the suggestion, and I've got the wrong end of the stick, then I apologise in advance.
and also, fingers crossed for a big 3 points tonight |
Apology accepted.
Hope the ‘wedding’ went well..
