Dealing With Rude Meat-Eaters?

My future in-laws have been giving me a very hard time lately about my vegetarianism. They've always given my a hard time about my vegetarianism, but it seems to have exploded since wedding planning has started.

I will not be providing a meat option for guests. My entire family and extended family are vegetarian, my FI is vegetarian, and over half my guests are vegetarian. Having a veg menu isn't incapacitating their ability to eat like meat does for a vegetarian, and they'll have plenty of delicious options, but they're still treating us unfairly.

Lately they've been belittling and teasing my FI nonstop, telling me that I was the only reason he became veg (though he was vegetarian for many years before we met), and saying that I'm being selfish for not accomidating their desires. I have serious ethical issues with meat, and will not compromise them. Nothing is dying for my wedding.

Is there a civil way to deal with this issue? How do I politely tell them that I will not be serving meat for my reception and that they need to stop being so unreasonable about it?
