Beach Wedding - Not possible on a Beach Lot in Island Living?

One of my other sims households had a wedding in their backyard which is beach overlooking the water and it went fine. Unless it just works for the natives of the island as that is all I allow to be on my islands. I also did not add any lots from any other worlds either so maybe that has some bearing on it. My islands are pretty much as they were with just furniture improvements to the houses. No mainland lots at all. I do not want vacationers here.
