I have worked in my current job for about 10 years and I'm inviting a few close work friends to my wedding. However, I have a coworker with whom I've shared a workspace for the past five years whom I really dislike. Aside from work frustrations, which I won't get into here, she just has a very negative attitude about life and we don't see eye to eye about any major issue. People keep bringing up the wedding in front of her and I'd really rather keep the discussion private, because I am not inviting her and I think it's rude to discuss a party in front of people who aren't invited.
Maybe she realizes she's not invited, or is just a negative person and wants to get little "digs" in whenever she can, but lately she's taken every opportunity possible to share her opinion that marriage is obsolete, people only get married these days to have the big dress and fancy party, it's a waste of money, it's a waste of time, marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be, people shouldn't get married until they're at least 30 and even then why bother, on and on.
I just ignore, ignore, ignore. I think she's bitter, maybe unhappy in her own marriage, and it's not worth it to get into it with her. It does annoy me when people stand there and agree with her, but then again people tend to do that with her just to get her to shut up and move on to another topic.
I don't think marriage is obsolete, and I am NOT getting married just to have a white dress and a big party.
