My husband and I chose all the details of the Mass, right down to the arrangements of the Common Mass. We didn't have to "request" for anything to be different because it was simply expected that we would make those decisions for ourselves based on our relationship with each other and with God.

I think a lot of Catholic churches kind of say "Here is the standard reading" and assume you know that you do have the freedom to pick out other verses. I know the church I attend does 3-4 weddings a weekend every weekend except Lent and Advent, and they have a THREE YEAR waiting list, so they might not necessarily have as much time to sit down with the bride and groom.
