They ask, I offer a suggestion, I get shut down. Why no fish?

I was asked what I thought would be 'nice' decorations for my dad's and his woman's wedding. So I said fish. I said to get those clear bowls at Wal*Mart, take those smooth colored pebbles and a fish or two. I was told no, fish aren't right for weddings. I think it would be pretty. I find fish watching to be soothing. But why no fishies at the wedding? And why ask when they're just going to say no?
 
I AM HAVING FISH CENTERPIECES AT MY WEDDING! i think it is a totally ok thing to do. i don't have any guest that will poke the fish nor will i flush them when we are done! i think it is a great idea. i asked a question about it and people were ass holes about it! yeah i agree people shouldn't poke them or flush them pour their drinks into them but it's a wedding not a frat party hello? we have having big round 9 inch wide by 8 inch tall bowls, blue rocks and a blue betta in each bowl. we are going to let the guest take them home after the wedding and we are providing "betta grab bags" that have food, something to carry them home in as well as the tank, and a care sheet for them. people will say "i don't want to go to a wedding and come home with an unwanted new pet" ok, then don't take one. it's a fish, the are easy to care for, i'm not saying "it's only a fish whatever" it's a life i know that but on the difficulty level of a pet it's easy. i already have a friend who will find them homes after if not all of them find homes at the wedding. it's ok if you are responsible about it.
 
fish at weddings is a bad idea. kids poke and play with them through out the night. things get spilled in the bowls. fish die in the middle of the reception then someone has to fish them out part way through the meal or people have to stare at dead fish the whole time they eat. plus at the end of the night people rarely take the fish home and they often end up getting flushed down the toilet at the reception venue.

and they said no to ONE suggestion you made. how do you know that they will say no to others?
