And you also have to sit around and listen to people sing, so you should probably take that into consideration. <br /><br />Call and ask if the open bar will have maraschino cherries. Those things are awesome. I think if the bar has maraschino cherries, you should go.LGalavizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199452604473450176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-37647536967089981202011-08-14T22:00:49.730-04:002011-08-14T22:00:49.730-04:00I'm not a fan of weddings!

Why is it an obligation if the boss invites you? If you are going for political reasons then that's not the right reason to attend a wedding. If you go, you should be going to celebrate someone's happiness and future. If they go out of obligation they will bring the wrong energy to the people around them. But then I'm one of those people who wouldn't want someone to attend an event I threw for political reasons.

She didn't show up, and actually sent me a text DURING the wedding that she couldn't make it because she had to go grocery shopping. You can probably guess what happened to our relationship. <br /><br />I'm with you on this one...The Spaghetti Westernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08834972468912868236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-43604828149386579302011-08-09T23:37:12.431-04:002011-08-09T23:37:12.431-04:00free food and open bar would have me RSVPing.

I've worked for bosses that I didn't get invitations to marriages (and that was okay) so if he took the effort to invite, I think unless it conflicted, I would definitely attend and try to enjoy myself! if anything else, look at it as an evening out with you and your hubby!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-78205461924236615252011-08-09T22:01:26.851-04:002011-08-09T22:01:26.851-04:00I would go.

This is what you are going to do, right?<br /><br />But again, it's personal, so if someone doesn't want to attend, it shouldn't make any difference to the others who stays away.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-48954331355402211142011-08-09T20:46:08.933-04:002011-08-09T20:46:08.933-04:00OK, don't really have an answer but I know if ...OK, don't really have an answer but I know if I was looking for a raise, promotion, or even just trying to keep my job I'd show up. <br /><br />So get this- you're discussing work relations.

Though as Ms. A noted, unless they've been having an affair it would be prudent to attend.<br /><br />I'm of the mind that folks should compartmentalize their work and personal lives. So you don't get along at the office...if the guy thought to invite you to such an important event you (they ladies) should seriously consider laying aside the office crap for a day and go (and eat your face off).Alan W.

Anyway, I think unless a prior obligation keeps you from attending, you should attend. It is the right thing to do, and, hello? Free food! We had a situation like this recently. A man that my sister's and I have been friends with for over 20 years got married and because he did not make it to one sisters bbq two days before the wedding, that sister refused to go to the wedding. Ummm, really? A bbq? And, this was our friends first wedding, yes, he waited until he was 40 to find his Miss Perfect. Needless to say, my other sister and I were more than a little embarrassed to be related to her.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16039261743881342348noreply@blogger.com
