I think the key phrase is "marry your own kind," and the vegetarian thing is just an excuse. Chinese food is about the easiest cuisine in the world to adapt to vegetarianism; you just chop up the stir-fry ingredients, fry up a small batch without meat for the vegetarian, and then do a batch with meat for everybody else.
If you love the woman, ignore Mom. Do the good son head-bobbing thing when she rants at you and then go off and do as you please.
That said, I married a vegetarian and it hasn't made any real difference. I've got three pounds of pork jobs in the fridge right now; she doesn't give a damn.
