In some instances, the expression “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” simply doesn'’ cut it. This situation requires the utmost sensitivity and a lot of thought to precede any action.
A Hudson Valley bride asks: “I have a real problem. My sister is being incredibly generous by offering, as her gift to us, the photography for our wedding.

I’m much more conservative than my sister is, but I can’t imagine this photographer shooting my wedding. What can I do?”
