This co-worker probably thinks she's getting an invite... She's wrong

I work in a small office with 2 other people.  I plan on inviting one but not the other.  The thing is, truthfully, I really can't stand "the other".  She is rude, fake, and constantly talks behind my back but is always "pleasant" to my face but I know its not sincere.  Other than the "I simply don't like her" reason, is the fact that she's 85 years old!!! (Don't ask me why she's still working... I'll never understand it)  We would NEVER be friends outside of work and my husband-to-be and I agreed that we only want to be surrounded by REAL friends and family that whole-heartedly love and care for us. 

Bottom line: She is not invited.

I already know it will be drama once she realizes the date is approaching and she hasn't received an invite.  There's a girl all of us know, but that she's not even remotely close to that got married earlier this year, and when she realized she wasn't invited she went on and on about it for weeks and even cried... CRIED!!!

Although I do not like her, I keep my relationship with her professional especially because we have to work so closely.  My dilemma is she keeps asking me for details to my wedding.  My dress, the venue, the date, the colors, blah blah, blah.  I don't want to discuss anything regarding the wedding with her because I think its tacky to yak about it with someone I have no intentions on inviting.  When she asks me questions what can I say?  Keep in mind I am a horrible liar, so I find it difficult to just answer "Oh, I don't know" with a convincing expression.  What would be the proper way to handle this?

  • I'm going thru the same exact thing (except my coworker is only 25). It's totally awkward but I'm trying to just unleash my inner bridezilla and just not give a you know what about her feelings getting hurt. I like keeping the peace but at the end of the (wedding) day it doesn't matter. Our coworkers don't like us either way so there's no loss:)
