How could it be common sense when it isn't common? People tend not to solely exercise their personal preference. They tend to go with pressures of conformity. That is particularly the case with weddings. Such pressure in weddings is why couples tend not to have the wedding of their dreams because their families' opinions and preferences matter more.

So, based on what wise means, I consider a couple going with their own preferences to be wise considering that it is probably at no detriment to anyone else. And they have probably weighed the costs and benefits of it and understand the decision. Now if I disagreed with their decision, as you seem to, or IrishLake said they only made that decision to piss the family off my assessment of the wisdom of the decision may change if I believed it was rooted in ignorance and poor planning on their part.
