I'm embarrassed to say that it wasn't even on my radar. We had a buffet though with plenty of veggie options. Possibly not vegan though.

We had a big buffet with 2 different pasta salads, green salad, tomato/mozz salad, roasted veggies, couscous, roasted potatoes, crudites, bread, cheese/crackers, fruit, and the cake, plus salmon, chicken, and prime rib for the carnivores. I'm a bit of a foodie (hate that term but it's the truth!) and the food was really important to me. That said, the night of the wedding, I was so overwhelmed I barely touched the food on my plate.

Yes we did because we knew we had a few vegetarian guests. We offered that along with a chicken dish and a beef dish.

I had to vote other. We did not offer a veg selection on the response card. BUT we did offer one - as the best man was a vegetarian! There were a few other people, too. Never even thought about vegan, I didn't know what it was at the time!

We had a buffet, but we requested a separate vegetarian entree to be prepared for my sister's friend, who was the only vegetarian (the main entrees from our buffet were all meat/seafood). However, I found out afterward from my sister that they didn't bring the entree to her. Oops! But, there was enough vegetarian sides from the buffet for her to eat, so she didn't go hungry.

No way. We had a barbecue. I guess if they wanted a vegan/vegetarian option, they could have just had beans or salad.

Nope, not at my first wedding where we had a buffet. They had a choice of chicken or ham at the buffet. The sides were vegetarian, I suppose. It wasn't even on our radar 17 years ago. For my second wedding, it was only 25 people and everyone ordered off the menu.

I'm reasonably certain we had no vegans or vegetarians at our wedding. We had a sort of finger food buffet, it wasn't a full sit down meal.

Yes. I knew who the vegetarians were, made note of their tables on the sheet I gave to the caterer, and they were served a different meal. (We had a sit-down dinner where the dual entrees, chicken and beef, were already chosen for the guests.)

I voted no, but honestly I can't remember. I recall having fish and steak as options....and I seem to recall people being able to choose pasta if they wanted. Good grief, has it been *that* long?! Yeah, I guess so!
