Why does everything have to be her way?

I'm due to get married in September. As soon as we got engaged she mentioned that she's always wanted to go to New York and would love to do that as honeymoon. And that was it, as soon as she said it it was assumed by everyone that that is where we'd be going on honeymoon. Now all I get from friends and family etc is "do you have NY booked yet?" "won't it be lovely when you show her the tickets for NY?" etc...

I don't want to go to NY and don't plan to. I have always wanted to go to Germany and want to do that for honeymoon but as soon as I say that to anyone I get "yeah but you could do that anytime, NY will be lovely..." we could go to NY anytime, surely?

I'm taking her for a meal tonight and the stupid family have filled her head with this NY thing and have her believing that I'm announcing having bought the tickets tonight. She's all excited but I have no intention of going to NY and I'm going to tell her that tonight.

So am I a complete b*stard or does anyone else feel like this sometimes? why is it always what they want? I feel a bit guilty that she'll be upset tonight but it really is her own fault for thinking that she can have everything her way in the first place.

We got married in September. With regard to honeymoon we both agreed that we didn't want anywhere busy or stressy which, fantastic though NY is, it's definitely that! We wanted somewhere quiet, peaceful where we could pretty much be on our own. We chose Scotland - limited travelling, beautiful scenery. Don't get me wrong, we did it big, top hotels and that but a week by Loch Lomond was just we needed after the stress of the wedding.
