Bride-to-be asks homeowner to use his backyard for her wedding since she grew up there, neighbors call him a 'nasty person' after he politely declines: 'This seems like an odd request and I am a bit overwhelmed'

Everyone is allowed to have the wedding of their dreams. They don't have to make a decision solely to please anyone else or follow tradition-- the couple gets to make up the rules. It's an entirely optional event anyway. So it's up to the couple getting married what kind of ceremony they want. Do they want it to be super traditional and include the whole family? Or do they want to do it underwater because they're both big scuba divers? Or literally anything in between. A wedding can be whatever you want it to be. You are constrained by a couple of factors, though.

One: budget. Weddings are famously expensive, and unless you want to take out a crushing loan, you probably want to stay inside the boundaries of what you can afford. This can cut your dream wedding down to size pretty quickly. Two: a compromise between both parties. You both need to sort of agree on what you want. You wouldn't want your partner to go rogue and end up disappointing you. And finally, you need the permission of the venue. Easy enough? Not always.
