‘Not necessarily. It could be someone from the office who’s inviting everyone from work to come to his/her gay “wedding.”’
That scenario really bothers me. One’s co-workers are just that, i.e., co-workers. Of course, friendships can develop in the work place but I find some folks just have no boundaries and tend to presume about others who are just there for a paycheck and nothing more.
Some people don’t have “boundaries” around their relationships. I worked with a young woman years ago who invited everyone in the office because she thought it’d be rude not to invite everyone, or to invite some but not others. Similarly, she had an open invitation to her entire church congregation.
The wedding and reception were at the church and church hall, respectively. Women from the church did the catering and apparently thats the way that congregation operates. Some of us prefer smaller, more intimate affairs. Different strokes and all that.
