I Overruled the Strict Vegan Menu for My Son’s Wedding

My future daughter-in-law imposed a strictly vegan menu for their wedding. I think it’s very rude and selfish of her given that our side of the family loves meat.

So, I went behind her back and hired an additional caterer to make cutlets and barbecues because I wanted everyone to have a good time.

On the big day, my daughter-in-law was surprised when she saw the food. Later that evening, my son came to me with a smirk. He looked at me and said, “This is the first and last time you interfere with my wife’ decisions, mom! Please go and at least apologize to her!”

I got furious and told my son I won’t apologize for something that’s normal and natural. If his wife chooses to be a strict vegan, that’s her choice, but she can’t impose it on the rest of us.

It’s been almost three weeks, and there are still tensions between me and my daughter-in-law because of the wedding day. Was I wrong?
