I agree, though there is a lot of emotion attached to the wedding day as it is. Considering many ladies spend a lot of time throughout their lives planning their wedding in their mind to a T, she may have known exactly what she wants. And since she had previously mentioned what she wanted, she may have interpreted your genuine attitude and suggestion as disrespectful since she already stated what she wanted. I feel where you are coming from as I have experienced the same thing, however she probably is already at an emotional high with wedding planning, so anything you say could be totally taken out of context and perceived the wrong way.
Seeing you sig. other before the wedding to some is just completely not an option and not debatable. I\'m not sure how she conveyed it to you in your original discussion on the topic, but she may have thought she was straightforward and up front about the issue....which could be the reason for her attitude now. Only you know how that played out
Perhaps a kind apology is in the works stating that you had good intentions but respect and want to honor her wishes and will capture her wedding like a rockstar and look forward to her special day. Don\'t let it weigh on you too much, but don\'t let it be an sticky issue between you and the bride either.
All this to say you presented the option clearly and well to her, and she prob took it the wrong way. You did your part as the professional. But sometimes even then, that is not enough because clients *think* they know what they want and what is best.
