...or go with what the client wants without question?
Two examples: the bride wants to dance with her father to Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross. Do you question it, thinking the Bride might not know what the song is about & is using the title only to make her choice
A recent example I had- the MOG wanted the song House of the Rising Sun. for the Mother-Son dance.
I posted this a couple of months ago, and received posts ranging from "it is our job to guide them" to "do what they ask without question"
Here's the rest of the story. I found out the Bride asked her future mother-in-law to tell me her favorite song of all time for the Mother-Son dance. The MOG hasn't been to a wedding since her own and the Groom is an only child, so she had no idea what the bride was talking about. When I talked to the MOG and explained what the song was for, she changed her song choice to a standard Mother-Son dance song. Apparently the Bride/ M-I-L relationship is already touchy.
