Anyone else legitimately not care what other people want at your wedding?

I see SOOOO MANY posts here about, "My mom doesn't like my X so I have to get a different one," or, "FMIL told me I have to invite 17 more people, so now we need to figure out where to get the money," or, "Betty Loo Moo can't make it to the shower, so we had to change the date even though the...

I see SOOOO MANY posts here about, "My mom doesn't like my X so I have to get a different one," or, "FMIL told me I have to invite 17 more people, so now we need to figure out where to get the money," or, "Betty Loo Moo can't make it to the shower, so we had to change the date even though the invites already went out!"

Meanwhile, my FMIL picked out a whole set for a sand ceremony and I'm like, "No. We aren't doing that. I'm not bringing sand back and forth to another country," and my mom is like, "Your dress is too heavy for a beach wedding; you need something lighter," and I'm like, "No, I like this one," and FFIL is like, "You shouldn't have the wedding in Mexico; not all of my family will be able to afford it," and we're like, "That's unfortunate."

How come so many people cater to what other people want at their wedding? Or am I just a jerk?

    I should've been more of a jerk with guest list from day 1, ugghhh. I love my mom dearly so it's hard to say no to the extra cousins she's suggested. Other than that drama, FH and I are doing our day our way and I'm happy about it!

    I've had people complain about:

    1. Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception being adult only

    2. The length of the ceremony

    3. The guest list

    4. We're serving alcohol (got some Bible thumpers on the guest list

    5. I'm wearing a veil

    However, they're not paying. So, oh well.
