Poll The Vegetarian's Dilemma

I'm all for sticking with veggies unless someone overtly complains ahead of time and will really be a bastard at the wedding.

If it's your moral conviction, I'm all for having only veggie food (and I, myself, am a rabid meat eater). I wouldn't warn them ahead of time either. If anyone bothers to make at stink *at* the wedding, they're not worth the trouble anyway.

It's YOUR wedding, do what YOU want.
Also, you know I am pescatarian so I say eff the meateaters.

Thanks! I stole it from someone in the vegancooking group so I feel as though I can never use it there.

Also, can I just reiterate that I love your polls and how they allow us all to give whatever strange combination of answers we want? I love seeing which ones people chose.

Since it's ONE meal on ONE day of their lives, I think they can live without meat. Some people may gripe about it, but they'll get over it.

P.S. If your parents are worried about looking "cheap" to guests by not providing meat, you guys could always make a note on the reception invitation - something about serving a vegetarian meal in accordance with your moral beliefs.

I only say this, because I have noticed that it seems like people look at the main entree in the reception meal as an indication of how much money you've spent. If you serve top sirloin, it's a really nice wedding, etc.

Got to be option 3: It would be against the ethical standard of not eating animals to allow the eating of animals by others when it's under your control when those people are not themselves under an ethical standard that requires consumption. You'd be breaking your ethical code to make someone else more comfortable.

Also the third-to-last option, because it's polite to give a heads-up.
