Co-worker's wedding - Vent

parrothead84

Five of us at work at closer than others who work here (equally closer to each other, or so I thought). We all sit by each other, talk during the day and hang out sometimes on weekends. However, I am not inviting any co-workers to my wedding, and I did not expect an invite from one who is getting married this year, as I know we are both on budgets. And I didn't get an invite - which is no problem; it's not a big deal.

Except now the getting married co-workers and two of the other girls are talking about how they should do this and that before the wedding, and how it's going to be so much fun. Seriously?! The other girl who wasn't invited and I are annoyed - not that we weren't invited - but that they are talking about it in front of us!!

This is why I do not talk about my wedding while at work!

Extremely rude.I feel like the least they could do is not talk about it in front of the two of you. I would feel a little bit (maybe more than a little) that it was being rubbed in my face, even if it wasn't something I would normally be upset about.

You have no reason to be annoyed.  You said you aren't going to invite any co-workers to your wedding but you can't expect the other girl to do the same as you.  She chooses who she wants to invite.  If this seems to you that you are not as important as the other two that are invited then maybe you should evaluate your relationship with them.  You have a choice not to hang out with them and sit through the talks that do not involve you.

Umm, seriously? It's just super rude to talk about going to a co-worker's wedding in front of people who weren't invited. It's super rude to talk about going to a wedding, regardless of who it is, in front of others who aren't.

ETA: I don't really have a choice of sitting through these talks because we all sit within a 10-foot area of each other. It's very loud and blatant.
