Woman throws engagement party, gets accused of 'alienating' brother's vegan GF.

When this woman is annoyed with her brother&#39;s vegan gf, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for making my brother&#39;s vegan gf feel &quot;alienated&quot; at my engagement dinner?&quot; I (24F) recently got engaged and had an engagement party dinner this past weekend. I am currently still receiving backlash from this and want to get some outside opinions if I was in the wrong.  My fianc&eacute; and I invited both of our immediate family and close friends to this dinner (about 30 people).  The dinner was held at a nice Italian restaurant in my city. Our invites gave our guests the option to choose between a meat option and a fish option for their mains.  It&#39;s important to note the only people in both mine and my fianc&eacute;&#39;s family that have I guess food restrictions are my dad and step mom, as they&#39;re pescatarian. But a lot of people in our family love seafood so the fish option was chosen more than the meat option.  My younger brother (20M) contacted me about a week before the dinner to RSVP and ask if he can bring a plus one, his new girlfriend. He chose meat option.  Now my brother dates around a lot and is always bringing new girls around, so I wasn&#39;t aware that he was even in a relationship. I told him sure and that I&#39;d have an extra seat for her.  Night of the dinner comes, everyone is having a good time, I met my brothers new gf, she seemed very sweet.  When it came time to eat she pulled one of the waiters aside and LOUDLY asked him &quot;is there any vegan options?&quot;  The waiter looked confused and said &quot;we have a fish and a meat option for the mains.
