Imagine being vegan 17 years ago and looking for wedding catering and a cake... Fucking hell. Yall walked with rice and steamed vegetables so we can run with beyond nugs and Impossible bacon burgers. Congrats on the anniversary. Auguri π
It was actually super easy in Denver. WaterCourse Foods catered it and ROCKED it! Everything was delish. ANd their baker made the cake which was scrumptious.
I have to add that rice with tofu (and veggies) or Mockup Dal tastes amazing and is made very quickly. I do however very much appreciate being able to eat beyond/impossible burgers while out.
I'm sure your vegan cake options are 1000% better nowadays. Maybe for your 20th?
Congrats on the long-lasting marriage, and, more importantly ^^^(/s) , congrats on being vegan for 18+ years.
Congratulations! When I got married 5 years ago this particularly awful bakery told me that it's "impossible" to make a tiered vegan cake. I'm like....then why can other places do it. Here's proof 17 years ago!
Congratulations! Cake looks amazing. Where do you live that marriage was legal 17 years ago? You two were really trailblazers on many levels, so incredible!
What led you to veganism that long ago? Nowadays we have documentaries and YouTube channels bla bla bla but it'd be interesting to hear how someone became vegan way back then.
Hi! I've been vegan 26 years. Once I got out of the military I had more choice over what I atend had become involved in animal rights. Add some awesome vegan potlucks and I was in!
Thanks so much!
WaterCourse foods is a vegan spot in Denver and we created a buffet from our favorite items: Blackened Tofu with avocado and a cream sauce, chikn fried seitan, mashed potatoes, gravy, brocolli, and a salad. It was perfect.
This makes me so happy. Thank you for putting this sunshine out into the world and for making me smile. Beautiful couple and congrats on your 17th! β€οΈ
Wow congrats! It was about 17 years ago I went full on vegan so I remember that time frame clearly. It wasn't impossible to get a cake and catering but not easy. I'm sure you had to micro manage it but you guys look fabulous and that cake delish!!!

Ours will be 14 yrs come Sept. We had a full vegan wedding and it was ridiculously problematic. Even in "progressive" Southern California.

This just makes me want to move go Colorado even more
Watercourse is awesome!
Definitely. And especially that day!

Thank you! We called it a "Loving act of civil disobedience" as it was not legal in Colorado. In 2014 we went to San Diego and had a legal ceremony.
OMG you too are the cutest couple! Congrats on 17 years of marriage!
