Did you discuss it with the actual client?

We ask the bride beforehand for dollar dance music suggestions. If she says "whatever" we'll try to keep it uptempo with family-friendly tracks.

I dunno how it is in Texas. Around these parts, the dollar (or honeymoon) dance can last longer than one or two songs. It depends mostly on how long the B&G wish to participate. We have a few continuous mix CDs we use for this.

The dollar dance - that is what would make me want to give it all up.

I have done maybe one in 9 yrs here in Canada. The last one was a Filipino Wedding and its customary for them however the many done since have not implemented it either. Thank goodness. The Chinese do it much more subtle with close family members etc joining in a tea ceremony where they will gain many envelopes with gifts of money inside. Other cultures like the Italians etc have their own special ways of showing class in resepct for providing the same results.

I have never asked clients to give me suggested songs. That is why they hired me. I typically choose songs that are easy to slow dance to that most guests are familiar with.

In your situation it wouldn't hurt to ask for some Mexican slow song ideas.
