Vegan bride’s wedding ‘completely overshadowed’ by pizza delivery

These salad haters deserve to be thrown out.

A humiliated bride was “completely upstaged” at her own wedding after hungry guests snubbed the dinner’s high-end vegan menu – and ordered pizza to be delivered instead.

Switch to RedditThe emotionally distraught bride – whose missive was deployed as she cried in the bathroom as the events unfolded – wrote that she and her husband had spent “nearly $15,000 » to prepare the menu. It’s the result of months of working with a chef “to create a 5-course gourmet meal that happens to be vegan.”

Its offerings included mushroom Wellington, truffle risotto and roasted vegetable tartlets, the 28-year-old added.

“We deliberately didn’t mention that the food was vegan on the invitations because we wanted people to enjoy it without prejudice,” she wrote. “Each dish has been designed to be delicious and satisfying, whatever your dietary preference. »

However, not everyone was willing to go green, including the bride’s 32-year-old brother Tom.

“Twenty minutes later, I watched in horror as he and my cousins ​​walked in with 20 large pizzas. They began handing them out to guests, announcing, “Real food for everyone who wants it!” »

“I was mortified. The caterers seemed very embarrassed and several guests hadn’t even tried our carefully crafted menu yet.

The furious bride then confronted Tom, who shared texts his aunt had sent him, complaining that “all the food was just vegetables”.

Naturally, Tom and the family “couldn’t let people go hungry at a wedding.”

Meanwhile, the bride admitted that “the pizza completely overshadowed our expensive gourmet meal.”

“People were taking pictures and treating it like a joke. My mother-in-law posted on Facebook how her son’s wedding was “saved by pizza” because the bride tried to “force everyone to eat rabbit food.”

The evening ended with the bride bawling her eyes out in the bathroom, and her husband of 30 years, who also follows a plant-based diet, kicking out Tom and their cousins, the pizza accomplices .

“It caused a scene, and now half the family is calling us stuck up and saying we ruined our own wedding by ‘imposing our beliefs’ on everyone,” the bride wrote. “They say we should have warned people about the vegan menu.”

In the comments to the post, netizens did not side with the newlyweds, especially for using the element of surprise as a weapon.

“Be honest, you didn’t tell anyone about the menu because you knew they wouldn’t like it/wouldn’t come if you did,” one wrote.

“(The original poster) is the reason people have a negative view of vegans,” another added.
