Cassp-

I mispoke...the wedding will be held at a local cultural center here in Troy.

I'm curious...if you were hired to play for a wedding, in a church, would you refuse to try to satisfy the client the very best you could?

All the songs my client has picked out are love songs, with positive messages, etc.

I would think love songs would indeed have a place in a house of worship. Songs celebrating the love and bonding of two people on their wedding day as they exchange vows past my acid test. Surely we're not at a point where we can only sing "certain" songs of love in a church, are we? Where's the approved list?

Kind of a slippery slope, IMO.

I would agree completely that offensive songs are clearly out of place in a church. Not too many years ago however, a guitar wasn't deemed an appropriate instrument in Church...Things have changed.
