If it was my best friend I would definately go there, but I would stick to the vegetarian food, even if the other food looked really good. I have been in similar situations before. I am not a vegetarian now, but there has been periods in my life where I ate nothing but vegetarian food, and when I went to parties etc I just ate the salad and left the rest of the food. When it comes to sweets and those kinds of things my willpower is not very strong 
but I am pretty sure that I would be able to stick to vegetarian food and avoid the meat.

I would go and help my friend celebrate their special day and not make a fuss over the fact there's no meat on the menu. I would eat the type of meal she/he wants everybody to have and happily skip the meat and dairy...it's only one meal and one day. By skipping the food, it would be showing that you are behind them in their choice for the day. I personally wouldn't go ahead and have a meat plate while everybody else was eating vegetarian, it might be viewed as rude, or worse, that I didn't care about their feelings. (And then afterwards, I'd go home and make myself a huuuuge hamburger lol)

This does sound like somewhat of a situation where you could be stuck in the middle of what to do. I know that being a friend is important and being a good friend is even more important.
I know that respecting each other through life is very prudent to long lasting relationships and friendships. It sounds too me that I would probably attend such an occasion and just do my best to respect everyone there.
The friend would probably appreciate you even more for just being there.
I wouldn't refuse to go. And I would keep my commitment. Sometimes in life we have to compromise. If we are lucky and have a good friend ourselves then we would be glad that they do the same thing for us in return.
Sometimes there are certain religious reasons or other reasons for not being able to eat certain things. Once again, I just wouldn't break the commitment.
