Vegan bride bans omnivorous family from her wedding
Would it be inappropriate to have several cold cut platters delivered to the reception? What about a pig roast in the parking lot?
I don't have a lot of tolerance for people who try and force their life style on me or try to punish me for not complying.
How about a life time paid membership for her to BENSA www.bensabaconlovers.com? Or get her on the Iowa Steak delivery route?

WOW, that will make family get togethers awkward in the future.
I'm with Para - sever ties now. She made it clear you are not an important part of her life.

You mean like inviting her to a family event with a full spread of meat based foods for the normal people and a small bowl of kale for her?

That guy should have his head examined for marrying a woman THAT crazy. If it was me, I'd walk instantly and cancel the entire marriage.

They should crash the wedding wearing shark and T-Tex costumes.

This. If he has come this far, he is right where he chooses to be.
I agree with everyone that says all ties are cut. Unequivocally and permanently. Intolerance is not a one way street.

I don't care about the mental state of anyone involved. All I can tell you is that if I had a family member getting married and they pulled this incredibly stupid shit, I'd be done with them- FOREVER- the very instant they retracted their invitation to me.
I'm as serious as I can be- now and forever, that idiot would be persona non grata. I won't answer your calls or respond to your emails and you are no longer welcome in my house and you'd better damn sure not think for a millisecond that I'd loan you money or help you in any way. I'm a "murderer"? Fuck you. Fuck you right where you breathe, stupid.
"Oh, he'll cool off after a while."
Nope. I'm not angry. I'm resolute, and I cut idiots out of my life in the blink of an eye and lay my head on my pillow at night and sleep like a baby.

Forget the kale. She get's a 99 cent head of iceburg lettuce.

This. Assuming as a "family member " I am related to the groom - otherwise, I'd already know she's CAS (crazy as shit) and would have severed ties long ago - this would be a declaration of war. Only to be, possibly, lifted if she crawled on penitent hands and knees to my house over bacon crumbles and kissed my porterhouse.

Why would any sensible person ever want to associate or even communicate with her in any way? Not that it applies to you, but that’s something I’ve never understood about family relationships. Being related through family to someone imposes exactly zero obligation on me to have anything whatsoever to do with them. Give me reason to respect you and have an adult relationship with you, and I’ll try to do the same.
This! BTDT before in my family.

The Groom is a moron. He's obviously vegan (whether he was or not before, he's got no choice now!), but this goes so far beyond any single issue.
Anyone this cray-cray who thinks they can control and manipulate the actions and beliefs of others will absolutely dominate your life as their spouse. Be prepared to never have any independent opinion or decision making ability on any topic until death do you part. Good luck!

So wonder who is paying for the wedding? In my case,No!!!! Guess her veggie garden is doing well, though wonder if she uses manure for fertilizer, maybe just craps on it?
