She’s Worried That Not Serving Meat At Her Wedding Is Going To Cause Issues With Her Mom
This 26-year-old woman and her fiancée, also 26, are in the wedding planning process. While they don’t have a huge budget, planning has been going well so far.
They were researching caterers, and they tracked down a company that would serve the food directly to the guests instead of offering only a buffet-style option.
Another huge plus was that this catering company offered a completely vegetarian menu.
“I’m talking stuffed portobello mushrooms, stuffed peppers, lentils, scalloped potatoes, quinoa pilaf, bread pudding, and a whole lot of other tasty mains and sides. I am not vegetarian. I do eat fish on occasion, but my fiancée is completely vegetarian. We also have several people coming to our wedding from different cultural backgrounds, including my fiancée’s Jewish father, our Jewish roommate, and Muslim friends of ours, all of whom have never eaten pork,” she said.
She and her fiancée also have friends coming to the wedding who have gluten allergies. On their wedding website, they have a section where guests are able to list their allergies so that they can keep those in mind.
They are also going to make sure to put their menu on the website as well, and they’ll have a note to state that the whole menu is vegetarian.
The most important thing to her is that her fiancée isn’t worried about whether or not there is meat in any of the food she’s planning to eat at their wedding.
“That’s a problem she struggles with almost every time we go out to eat with friends and family or go to family functions at other people’s homes. She usually ends up eating chips and guac or just sides of potatoes. She can’t even eat the traditional tortillas my family makes because it contains lard,” she explained.
Throughout the planning process, she’s been keeping her mother in the loop. Today, she told her about the catering company that she and her fiancée are considering for the wedding.

“The first thing she said was, ‘What about people who aren’t veggie?’ And in response, I said, ‘People can’t eat veggie for one meal?’ And she just got quiet. I again tried to hype up the menu, stating, ‘Doesn’t the menu look good, though?’ I mentioned everything stated above, and she, again, was silent for a good 10 seconds and said that one of the sides just looked good and moved on,” she shared.
Oftentimes, it’s difficult to read her mother and to interpret what she might be thinking or feeling. Her mother doesn’t like confrontation, and her mother has said throughout the years that she gets distracted easily.
Because of this, she couldn’t tell if her mother was mad that she and her fiancée were going to have a vegetarian menu for their wedding.
Despite nothing else happening yet in regard to the vegetarian menu, she’s nervous that people may be upset if they want to have a meal that includes meat at the wedding.
She pointed out that their wedding had already included a bit of drama because she and her fiancée are both women.
Even though she’s not angry with her mother, and even though her mother hasn’t said anything about the menu since, she’s worried that maybe having a vegetarian menu will cause issues.
