The wedding between Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied reflected not just the bride's Jewish faith and the groom's French nationality, but also the couple's outlook on the world.
Instead of having flowers flown in, the ceremony featured wildflowers indigenous to the Big Sur coast where the ceremony took place, and instead of "fish or steak" the menu was strictly vegan in keeping with the bride's diet.
Portman, 31, chose a traditional white gown from Rodarte, the same house that made the purple dress that Portman wore to the 2010 Oscars, and wore a crown of white wildflowers in her hair. The groom, 35, wore a midnight blue tux.
Eschewing the traditional wedding cake, the couple opted for French macarons.
When things wrapped up around 2 a.m., the approximately 100 guests took home packets of wildflower seeds as party favors. The packets were inscribed with a single word: "Merci."

its not that alien
besides, there is some SERIOUSLY delicious vegan food out there (hello cafe gratitude).
just because it says vegan people automatically hate it, but if you serve it to them without calling it anything i bet they'll like it
I'm Muslim and I'm not serving anything from a pig should I get married, people can deal.
You'd think people will die having to eat one meal with only vegetables, like they don't ever eat vegetables in any other circumstance.
/Chinese person
I'm Canto so I obv love meat but I like Chinese vegetarian places as well. Their imitation meat can be pretty good!
I actually do have a moral opposition to alcohol. I however, will not have a dry wedding because, while I am opposed to alcohol, the vast majority of the people who would attend would not be.
I'm Muslim, if I get married there will be no pork or alcohol and everything will be halal.
If you're going to complain about it, you're the selfish one.
that said, Congrats
rodarte is based in pasadena
FUCK YES
if i was there i would have gotten into a beat-down with the other guests while hoarding macarons for myself tbh
I have no shame, i would eat everything and stealthily put the rest into my purse for later. NO SHAME WHEN IT COMES TO MACARONS
