They are both our client since the bride has charged us with the responsibility of entertaining her guests.
You would have less issues if you could stop self-sabotaging your work with artificial limits that don't reflect reality.
The argument that "dad was not my client" obviously was no more acceptable to that bride than it is to me.
If I take my family and parents to dinner and my Dad's entree' is improperly cooked do you think the waiter should just blow him off because I'm the paying client and I either don't know or don't care about Dad's food preferences?
No .. but in a similar manner, if you're dad orders something that YOU said cannot be ordered or that the waiter knows will not go over well (lets say he wants a lobster raw), then is the waiter wrong by not giving him what he wants?
