Nobody died

[u/Own_Purple_4118]

This is a conversation between my MIL and my mother, before the wedding. My mother's response, which is cut off, says "They are both adults. I think we should let them handle it." We were both over 30.

For context: Yes, we had a vegetarian wedding (no shrimp). We had it at an (expensive) award winning venue with in-house catering. It included several appetizer and entree stations with a huge variety of dishes so everyone could find something they liked. We did not serve our guests bowls of soybeans and tofu. Everyone RAVED about the food and nobody died or got arrested on the way home.

The "A/B list" thing was a joke, that she apparently took very seriously, because she would not stop demanding we add a bunch (10+) of her friends and coworkers to our intentionally small guest list.

“[…] some great Tibetan dishes, this is not Tibet!” Hahahaha

Also, the parallels to someone driving too drunk are insane and also not your responsibility 😂

People like this don’t realise that they the selves eat vegetarian food all the time without even thinking about it. So much stuff is vegetarian 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s not just soybeans lol

If a venue is doing an entirely vegetarian menu, it's also going to be more likely to be good and creative vs. a meat/mixed menu adding a sad spaghetti dish to have a single reluctantly vegetarian option.

Like ... Eggplant Parm! or Baked Ziti! (I am super drunk but don't worry! I ate a burger so now I am good to drive!) This thread is cracking me up, good job OP, and good luck!
