A soon-to-be bride is facing some heat in the office over her guest list.
In a post on Reddit, a woman revealed that her coworker wasn’t too pleased about not being invited to her wedding.
“This was honestly one of the weirdest work things I’ve ever dealt with,” the user wrote on the site before explaining that she’s not close to this colleague.
“We’ve had small talk here and there, nothing deep. No lunches together. No real outside-of-work connection,” the bride wrote.

According to the woman, her colleague bluntly asked “if she was invited” after finding out about the upcoming nuptials.
“I kinda laughed and said, ‘Oh no, it’s really small. Just close friends and family.’ I didn’t think anything of it,” the fiancée recalled. “She got quiet and a little cold after that, but I figured okay, maybe awkward moment, whatever.”
The soon-to-be wife then went on to say that she got an invite to a human resources meeting a few days later.

Upset bride
“Turns out she filed a complaint saying I was being ‘exclusive’ and ‘creating a hostile environment by leaving people out,’ ” she said. “Because I didn’t invite her. To my wedding. That I’m paying for. That isn’t even work-related.”
“So I had to sit in this HR meeting and explain that I’m not required to invite coworkers I barely know to my literal wedding. That it’s a personal event,” she continued. “That it has nothing to do with work or who’s in the office.”
Meanwhile, the Reddit user wasn’t the only perplexed person in the room as “HR honestly looked just as confused as I was.”
“They basically said, ‘Yep, okay, thanks,’ and closed the case,” she added.
However, unlike HR, it doesn’t look like the coworker is ready to let things go just yet.

Frustrated bride at her wedding
“But now she acts super passive-aggressive toward me,” she wrote on Reddit. “Like side-eyes, little digs when I walk by. Still bringing it up in these weird sarcastic comments like, ‘Some people are so inclusive these days.’ ”
The woman added, “I can’t believe she actually thought HR could… what, make me invite her? Some people really do think they’re the main character.”

Many readers on Reddit took the bride’s side.
“I would report her to HR for creating an uncomfortable environment now,” one person wrote.
A second said, “Definitely seems like the coworker is heading towards hostile work environment territory, if not already there.”
