She’s Getting Married And Her Sister-In-Law Expects For Her To Pay So She Can Have A Personal Caterer To Make Vegan Food
A woman doesn’t have a lot of time left before she gets married, and she has been trying hard to make sure her whole wedding is more on the subtle side.
She’s really trying to stick to a budget here, so that’s why she doesn’t want anything crazy or over the top on her special day.
She’s planning on having a ceremony at her local town hall, followed by a lunch reception in her mom and dad’s backyard that will be set up more like a cocktail hour than anything else.
None of her guests will have assigned seats or even plates. Cocktail-style food will be “passed around” to her guests.
She selected 20 varieties of foods for her guests to enjoy, and she worked hard to ensure there really was something for everyone on her menu.
She has fish, meat, vegetarian, and vegan options and she has chosen between 4 to 7 foods in each category.
The reason she picked vegan options was to accommodate her sister-in-law, who is a vegan, and the only vegan who will be attending her wedding.
When her fiancé sent her sister-in-law the menu, her sister-in-law quickly voiced her displeasure.
“So she sent my fiancé the contact of a vegan caterer she likes and requested that he order her a plate of cocktail pieces and a vegan cake just for her on the wedding day,” she explained.

“Honestly when I heard this I was flabbergasted. It seems so rude to me to ask this when 1) she knows we are tight on budget and 2) I made specific plans for her to have enough vegan options, it’s not like she would have starved.”
“She might be a picky eater, but there were so many options: she could have offered to pay for her caterer, or even to take it upon herself to order it on her own.”
Putting herself in her sister-in-law’s shoes, she never would have handled things this way. She would have simply filled up at breakfast and not made a big deal about it at all.
While she does like her sister-in-law overall, she knows her fiancé goes out of his way to baby and spoil her, even though she’s close to 40-years-old.
Furthermore, her sister-in-law has spent years expecting her fiancé and their mom to pay for her entire life after she made a career change and completely quit her job.
That doesn’t exactly bother her, but her sister-in-law never expressed her gratitude or appreciation, nor does she attempt to rein in her crazy spending.
“My fiancé stopped sending her money some time ago but that was just because his mom took over,” she said.
Circling back to the vegan issue at hand though, she argued with her fiancé about it for the last several weeks before giving in.
“My fiancé says this is nonnegotiable as he wants to please his sister and will pay for it on his own dime,” she continued. “He thinks I am being insensitive.”
Although she does not agree with her fiancé on this one, she’s letting him pay for his sister’s demands since she doesn’t think this is the hill she wants to die on, nor does she want to be seen as a “bridezilla.”
She does still think her sister-in-law is downright rude, and she’s curious if you think so too.
