Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Yeah and nobody has ever been like this 😭 FWIW if I have to be away from my desk for a wedding related thing I say I have an appointment I don’t generally say it’s for wedding stuff

Well at least now you don’t have to invite any coworkers. Sheesh 🙄. I never had any of those comments but I usually did not tell anyone I was leaving work to do wedding things either —not that it should matter.

I avoid talking about it with pretty much everyone because of comments like this. Can't even talk about it with my family because I get the same comments from them "it's a waste of money etc. etc" 😭

Everyone has their opinions so just shake it off and don't invite them. I avoid talking about it and if my coworkers bring it up, I will casually give a few status updates.

Help- my FBIL is refusing to rent a tux for our wedding because he already owns one. It is a different tuxedo. We would like everyone in the same tux, which I don’t think is crazy to ask for? It’s not a financial issue and it’s not some sort of weird style. 11 other men will be in the rental, it will be obviously different. We’re paying a lot for formal pictures and while this isn’t a tragedy by any means, it is upsetting to my fiancé and I, especially as we ALWAYS go with everyone else’s flow.

Should I invite fewer people to a destination wedding or will people just naturally decline?
