Flatbusher…
It wasn’t about the guests caring.
Re: Flowers
The colors for the wedding were Red and White. A specific dance had been arranged where female guests would take the flower that matched the color of their napkin and shower the Kallah with the flowers while waving the napkins. If there were 10 seats at a table and the florist only placed 8 flowers some guests could not participate.
As for the Canadian Whiskey…it was about me. The men in my family have been Canadian Club drinkers since the 1930s. We drink our whiskey straight up. I personally detest the taste of VO. I was paying for the chasanah and should be entitled to drink the whiskey of my choice (as was specified in the contract).
When I got married some 45 years ago the contract specifically called for Diet Coke to be available at the bar, as my BIL had diabetes and this was his drink of choice. During the schmorg we found there was no Diet Coke. The caterer was made to send someone to the store to buy a case. BTW, my BIL, the Rav was the Mesader Kedushin and deserved to have what he could drink.
