She Uninvited Her Vegan Brother From Her Wedding Since He Thinks Her Chocolate Wedding Cake Is Advocating For The Oppression Of Animals
This 28-year-old woman is currently engaged and set to tie the knot next month, and she couldn’t be more excited.
“I’ve been planning this day for what feels like forever,” she said.
She and her fiancé picked out a gorgeous wedding venue, “dressed up” their decorations, and for dessert, they ordered a stunning, three-tiered chocolate cake. According to her, the cake is going to be the centerpiece of their reception.
There’s only one main problem as she approaches her big day: her brother. He’s 23 years old and what she calls a “radical vegan.”
For some context, her brother was apparently always a bit over the top when it came to dietary choices, and she always thought it was fine.
More recently, though, her brother started berating anyone who ate animal products, which she believes is too far.
“He even goes around preaching about how ‘sugar is just as bad’ and calling traditional recipes ‘murderous,'” she revealed.
Then, when they were chatting on the phone just last week, her brother heard about the chocolate wedding cake and freaked out on her. He claimed it would be a “disgrace” to celebrate with a dessert that “advocates for the oppression of animals.”
She was totally caught off guard by his response, and after taking a few days to think, she ultimately decided to rescind his wedding invitation.
She told her brother that she wasn’t interested in dealing with any judgment or negativity on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. All she wants to do is eat and enjoy her cake in peace.
Well, once her parents learned her brother was uninvited, they were furious and took his side, accusing her of being unreasonable.
“But honestly, I feel like he crossed a line. It’s my wedding day!” she vented.
Still, with her family up in arms over this situation, she’s now wondering if banning her brother from her nuptials due to his vegan views is justified or not.
How would you have handled this situation in her shoes? Is her brother being overdramatic?
