Would you tell your coworkers you are getting married? - Dallas Dance Music - Dallas nightlife, music, tickets, and more

Damnsammit · 07-23-08, 08:29 AM

I work at a call center, and I don't really hang out or talk to anyone that I work with that often.

Am I obligated to even let them know that I am getting married? Should I invite my boss to the wedding?

I mean it might be akward when all the sudden one day I waltz in here with a ring on my finger, but I'm not the kind of guy to announce something to a bunch of people I otherwise don't really interact with.

I guess that would depend on your relationship with everyone. We're all somewhat close at my job. I would invite most of my co-workers..

Invite as many as you can, they'll bring gifts.

I'd keep that shit on the DL..

the real surprise in this thread is someone is willing to marry you.

That sounds like a question that you and only you can answer.

Personally, I like to keep work and private life as seperate as possible.

If yr coworkers even know you have a gf & have talked about her often, then I would tell them.

But if you don't even tell them have one then what is the point... except for the gift thing. If you don't even a get a party at lunch or are asking time off then I wouldn't bring it up.

Yeah right. Like I could keep anyone out of the loop about getting married. I would be stopping strangers in the street if I was getting married. Telling the check out ppl at grocery stores & bums who asked for a dollar/cigarette. I'd take out an ad in the Dallas Morning News. But that is just me.

I'd do the complete opposite of that. To be honest, 30 people at a wedding is way too many.

That was my initial thought.

There is only 2 people that don't annoy me that I work with but I guess I could just invite the whole mess. They probably wouldn't come but maybe they'd give me money.

I feel you on this. But I would say if they ask how you are doing or whats new in your life, then go ahead and tell them. I certainly wouldn't purposely keep it from them. But if it comes up in conversation naturally then what harm could it do?

Right.. well pretty much the only conversation is "Hey whats up?"

So I guess I could just be like "Not much... getting married in October... you?"

and...

Well I don't think they will be coming so it wouldn't really change the guest count which we already overestimated a little bit.
