Additional charges at weddings - I've heard it all now!!


I've never heard of a hotel that didn't offer a vegetarian option at a wedding. Most hotels don't include it on the menu but will have asked the bride and groom for a rough idea of how many vegetarian guests to expect. Tell your daughter to tell the waiting staff at the next wedding that she's vegetarian and she should get a suitable dish. Each table at our wedding was asked if there were any vegetarians and they were catered for ...afaik it was a vegetable pasta bake. The hotel usually offer the vegetarian dish to any guests who don't eat the main course...we had beef.
 
But usually they are not catered for and are left hungry unless they bring their own food.

I've yet to go to a wedding that did'nt have a vegetarian option. Its not usually on the menu, but is always available if asked for.
 
I was at a wedding recently where the couple themselves were vegetarians. They had three vegetarian main course options, plus a limited non-vegetarian option which they quickly ran out of!

I wish all weddings were like that!
 
Was a pretty unique and well-thought out wedding -- best woman instead of a best man, speeches before the dinner, etc.
 
I see nothing changes on this forum, all some people can do is copy and paste and di-sect everything people said. Chicken is not meat it is poulty and a child could tell you that, plus what i meant about asking guests if they do not eat meat is one of my bridemaids does not eat meat only chicken or fish. Plus i will be offering vegetarian choices.

All i can say to some of the smart people on this site is get a life and stock di-secting everything people say.
 
I taught this might educate you all a bit get your facts first, i knew already that there is different types of Vegetarians but by the looks of this topic alot did not know that.

Types of Vegetarians

One thing that many people don't realize or understand is that there are different types of vegetarians. Each individual vegetarian has his or her own personal reasons for choosing their diet, and these reasons determine exactly what foods they eliminate. Although a few different reasons and motivations are described in the Why? section, below is just a brief definition of each type of vegetarian.
  • Total Vegetarians eat only plant food. They do not eat any animal foods, including fish, eggs, dairy products, and honey.
  • Vegans not only omit all animal products from their diets, but they also eliminate them from the rest of their life. Vegans use nothing from animals, such as leather, wool, and silk.
  • Lacto-Vegetarians will include dairy products into their diet of plant food.
  • Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians eat both eggs and dairy products.
  • Pesco-Vegetarians include fish into their diets.
  • Pollo-Vegetarians eat poultry, such as chicken, turkey, and duck.
lso their is
 
If god didnt want us to eat animals, he wouldnt have made them out of meat.

Damn, I thought I was a total veggie for the last 15 years!
Where am I going top get a big bag of tomato feed at this time of night
 
We are meat eaters. Vegetarianism is not natural. Our intelligence and our short intestinal tract have developed over the last couple of hundred thousand years because we eat other animals.
No one eats Giant Pandas and they are nearly extinct. Loads of people eat cows and there are millions of them. If you want to ensure the survival of a species farm it and eat it!
