So I did eat meat at the wedding as I thought but I feel fine about it, it was a choice I made and I don't feel bad. There was really only bread and a green salad as alternatives. There was a tricolor salad and also mashed potatoes but both contained dairy so were off limits. I'm overall feeling very pleased with what I have achieved so far and it really hasn't been hard. If there had been a more substancial veggie option at the wedding, I would have happily gone with that. What I did have was beef and I chose it very rare...well, meat is meat, may as well have it the way I like it!
Tonight I made a yummy salad with fried chickpeas, arugula, onion, mint, parsley and lemon juice. It was very tasty and I will be eating leftovers tomorrow for lunch with my lentil curry soup from the Soupmeister at Lonsdale Quay.
On Sunday, I bought the latest copy of Vegetarian Times which is okay.. they seem to be big on gluten free recipes but not so much on dairy or egg free. They do have some delicious options though that I am itching to try like Yellow Lentil Dal or Chickpea Croquettes.
I'm heading off to the UK for 11 days later this month and have ordered a vegan meal for the plane and I'll be doing most of the grocery shopping and cooking over there as I'm looking after my mum who has just had surgery. She's not vegetarian but I don't think she will mind. She loves fish like me and is health minded.

Delicious! Those recipes sound great. Is there a vegan magazine that compares to VT?
