AITA for serving vegan food at my wedding?

Rachel Thompson 2968 comments

In the tender glow of their upcoming union, two hearts committed not only to each other but to a compassionate lifestyle that defines them—a vegan love story set against the backdrop of their wedding day.

They dreamed of sharing a meal that reflected their values, hoping to unite their guests in a celebration where every bite honored their shared commitment to kindness and respect for all living beings.

Yet, beneath the surface of joyful anticipation, a quiet storm brews as family expectations clash with personal convictions.

When a demand rooted in tradition and cultural identity challenges their carefully planned day, the couple must navigate the fragile space between honoring loved ones and staying true to themselves, revealing the profound complexities that often accompany the most intimate celebrations.

A Wave of Opinions Just Hit the Thread:

It didn’t take long before the comment section turned into a battleground of strong opinions and even stronger emotions.

The original poster (OP) feels strongly committed to their vegan principles for their wedding, leading to a significant conflict with an aunt who insists their uncle must have meat due to 'cultural' reasons, not medical necessity.

The OP is unwilling to incur extra costs or compromise the vegan theme for a guest who simply prefers meat, which has resulted in strained family relationships and potential guest cancellations.

Is the OP justified in enforcing a strict vegan menu to uphold their values and avoid extra costs, even if it risks offending close family members over a single meal, or should the OP yield to the cultural preference of a single guest to maintain family harmony?
