Well, I would think that these people are comming to see YOU, and spending money on YOU and YOU are putting this party on for them to celebrate YOU.....it might be nice to throw them a bone or two.
I personally am of the opinion that while i want my guests to be comfortable, I want them to be dressed nice and no matter how much my cousin whines, he is NOT wearing flip flops and shorts to the ceremony.
Making your guests comfortable is more important, IMO. Yes, your wedding day is about you but your wedding is a party that you are throwing for your guests to celebrate your marriage with you. Hence, your wedding is FOR them, it's just about you.
There is a middle ground though. You can have what you want and still make sure people are comfortable and having a good time. It takes the same skill that marriage does... compromise.
@zippylef: I really like the way you described it as being for the guests, but about the couple.
That is how I feel, also. If it was just about us, we wouldn't spend thousands of dollars to put on big dinner and dance party for our friends, we would probably elope. But because we want to celebrate with our friends and we want them to enjoy the celebration, we made our decisions with our guests in mind.
@zippylef, I completely agree. There should be room for compromise, and as important as the guests are, it doesn't make sense to sacrifice their comfort. I was simply curious since alot of people in general do not care about guests' comfort during wedding planning (or at the wedding itself) so it seems like a rarity when a couple does care about them. I have never come across that a guest in real life but hearing about weddings that others have had where that has happened and the couple inssisted that they were not rude at all to anyone, it makes you wonder where their priorities really are.
@Ember78: Defintely. I understood that you were asking out of curiosity. It certainly does make you wonder what the heck goes through people's heads sometimes.

Making your guests happy and comfortable or having everything your way with little room for compromise on how others feel, even going to the point of being rude to guests? It seems like some people choose one or the other with very little middleground or compromise on pleasing everyone.
