Yeah, weddings are boring and also Gooch might catch on fire if he has to enter a church.
I went to a Catholic one once and there was a bunch of standing and kneeling.

Also the reception sounds like a good idea in theory but hanging out with a bunch of people I don't know or my co-workers does not sound like the best time to me.

Also, I barely know this girl. I have seen her probably 20 times in the 8 years I have worked here. My boss has 2 daughters and I don't even know which is which.

Also, the wedding is in April. Shouldn't she have already sent the invites?

Mrs Gooch if you had kids could you bring them?

I have no idea. Why does this matter?

Read the thread.

I feel obligated to invite my coworkers to my wedding. It's not going to hurt my feelings if they don't come tho.

I mean I have nothing against this girl or weddings in general but if it were any other person that I know the same amount as I know her they wouldn't even have considered inviting me...

It's obviously important to your boss, though. Weddings aren't just for the bride - I'm sure it would make your boss very happy to see him that day, even if it's just for a brief moment. You're being very selfish - go to the wedding if you get invited.

Yes, "please come to this gigantic party I'm throwing" is a very selfish act.

BTW, my boss is a man.

Weddings are more fun the fewer people you know

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #513 on:** March 04, 2016, 09:00:33 AM »

I would just make an appearance, eat dinner, and plan on leaving right after but end up having a blast, getting pak'd on the free booze, staying all night, and having an awkward Monday at work.

If its in April, you aren't really expected to go. You already have plans, tell your boss thanks, send a small gift, ask your boss the following Monday how everything went and talk about how sad you are that you couldn't make it.

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #516 on:** March 08, 2016, 04:45:00 PM »

Just got the invitation in the mail. The wedding is on a Friday at 4pm so I guess I get to leave work early to go to it.

My wedding is on a Friday too. Not because of cost, but because it's a destination wedding and I might be able to weed out a few of the meh types.

No. Leaving work 30 minutes early doesn't make up for staying all night at the dinner and dancing afterwards.

Having a destination wedding weeds out the mehs, ya cheapskate

Define "destination"

pissclams · « **Reply #523 on:** March 08, 2016, 05:55:56 PM »

i generally skip all weddings and receptions that i'm invited to and don't really give a crap what anyone thinks about it.
i have no interest in "free booze" or cheap banquet food or shitty wedding DJamer music or the cute dances that they do, or any of the rest of it. i don't care that two people decided to get married and i won't care when a third of them get divorced.

if that makes me selfish, so be it, i don't care about that either. if my boss invited me to his daughter's nuptials, i'd just immediately make up a lie that would preclude me from going. i do buy them wedding gifts though, because i derive enjoyment from finding a good gift for someone. it can be a fun challenge.

i think wc is getting married in summit county, colorado. for some that may not qualify as a destination wedding but for others, it certainly does.
