This was about two years ago, but it still irritates me when i think about it. I worked with this woman who was getting married. She was having a destination wedding in Cancun. Her parents, who were very wealthy, were paying, so she was going ALL OUT an having a ton of guests, some of whom they paid to fly down and stay.
If you want to picture her, she has long bleached-blond hair, always has her makeup done to the nines, and despite not possibly weighing more than 90 pounds, has breasts the size of bowling balls and an engagement ring almost as big.
So she was obviously out of work for a while, and when she was back, she kept saying she needed to leave early to "go get married". They didn't actually get married in Cancun; they just have a zillion-dollar PPD.
So she kept saying she needed to leave early to get married, but she kept not doing it. Whatever, crazy lady.
So fast-forward a month, and she's taking more time off. She's going on a 2-week trip to China - with one of her friends. WHY she planned an international trip with a girlfriend right after her wedding baffled us all.
She had lots of stories about China when she came back, but in all of them, she made a point of saying "my friend" instead of the name - and instead of a pronoun.
It turns out that the friend was a man. A man who worked in another department at our company. She had left her "husband" (we don't know if they ever got married or not) and moved in with the guy who took her to China.
So she obviously knew she didn't want to marry her fiance, but she just HAD to have her day! I can't imagine how enraged her family must have been!
