That's a great hypothetical response! I actually feel kind of bad for her...sounds like her life sucks and she is insanely jealous of your amazing Saturday night wedding. Try not to hate her too much :)
Don't let her get to you! She probably just wishes she was getting married too (which is why you got an earful about what *she* would do). Just avoid talking to her about your wedding and don't let her ruin your day!
LOL at your hypothetical response. That SUCKS. Two of my coworkers are exactly like that. I had to do as sd2009 suggested and completely stop talking to them about my wedding plans! Hang in there!
This is why I don't talk to my coworkers. I don't even think half of them know I'm engaged :)
Heart. You.
That must be annoying as sh$@, but I love that I got to read your rant. I know exactly who you are talking about, her sad little archetype is everywhere.
"Oh, we already checked with all of the guests we are inviting and they are fine with the Saturday wedding". Read: YOU AREN'T INVITED!!!
Is this the same co-worker that has virtual cat sex on Second Life? That's one of my favorite terrible co-worker stories of all time! 
She sounds crazy anyway; I wouldn't hold too much stock in her opions about weddings.
Haha nice mental quip there! I can't believe how people can be so nasty. I isn't her wedding and most people like going to weddings even though the economy isn't doing well because it's something fun and helps take your mind off it!
The thing that kills me is that I go out of my way NOT to talk to her but she occasionally will corner me and start babbling. I never talk about wedding stuff at work except to my one office friend who I don't even directly work with, and never IN the office. Only at lunch and stuff.
@GirlWithARing - I used to feel bad for her because she is the most pathetic person I've ever met, but she's one of those people that is just so awful that you reach a point where you no can no longer feel bad for her because she's just a nightmare.
ARGH!
@Mrs. Spring - YES she is the virtual cat sex woman! And this BF is her cat partner. I should have suggested she have a virtual cat wedding...
"I don't go in for that princess s***."
"I can tell. Princesses usually have good manners."
Second Life? Really? Yikes...
haha! She is just jealous! She wishes she could have a wedding! Don't let her get to ya! :)
Hahahahahaha! Seriously, my favorite story. Somehow, it all kinda makes sense.
I need to try to find that post so people can have the additional backstory on this woman... It really does make more sense that way.
LOL. Love the response that went on in your head. Another one:
Wow, that’s actually a great idea about having a ‘small’ wedding and not being concerned about the ‘princess s**t’. So, when is YOUR wedding? Oh….your internet boyfriend hasn’t proposed yet? For shame. Don’t worry, sweetie. Your day will come. (evil diva smile, turn around, exit)
To quote Dr. Seuss:
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Ahhhh! That's hilarious!! Unfortunate, but hilarious.
Booo for people who rain on our parade/wedding! We all have people like that we have to deal with though, I'm sure. I've even had divorced women tell me that weddings aren't worth it, men are pigs, they're all the same, etc. My philosophy is WHATEVS! You don't know our relationship!
Good for staying tactful though...it's SO not worth getting riled up over. Just look at the ring on your hand as you wave good-bye to that loser!
Kittyachi I love your posts. You word stuff perfectly. I just posted my own vent & I seriously edited myself when I really just wanna say "WTF is wrong with you people?" LOL
I do have a picture in my head of the chick from the Bridget Jones movie... the pain in the ass old lady co-worker. LOL
I think your first paragraph pretty much explains her attitude!! Kuddos to you for handing the situation like a mature person . She deserved to be told off though
UGH...was a happy-sucker... she obvsiouly doesn't know the rule of "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all"...Steal some of her pens or something, it'll make you feel better LOL
Maybe she can have her wedding on Second Life! Haha! I seriously need to read this post about virtual cat sex. Eee Gads, Kittyachi!
This is when you use the "Thank you for taking an interest." and change the subject!
haha you internal dialogue is priceless. In real life though-- I'd probably go direct. Something like this:
Her: "Ugh GAWD I've been to so many of those over the years. Such a waste of money. Especially in this economy. I don't get it - it's one day. Why do people make a big deal out of it? If it was me getting married, I'd want a very small wedding on the cheap because I don't care about all that Princess s**t."
You: Wow that was really rude.
Her: **surprised pause**
You: Maybe you don't realize it because you haven't been through wedding planning but it is really hurtful when people make rude comments about something that you're putting so much effort into. BYE.
I know she's being hurtful, but it's probably just because she is jealous. I'm sure it's just her defense mechanism. Which does NOT make it right, but it explains her odd beahavior. Sorry that she takes it out on you.
LOL - love your hypothetical response!
If only we could actually say those things in real life!
sounds like a classic case of jealousy to me. she needs to grow up! but good for you kitty for taking the high road!
Ahh. You have to find that post so we can read it. Sounds awesomely bad. lol
Sorry she's such a bish. She's obviously miserable and jealous.
LOL. Hang in there girl - this coworker sounds like a real piece of work. I don't even want to know what second life cat sex is - yeeeecchhhhhh.
Only three words come to mind when I read what you think you should have said back. That. Is. Fabulous. :) You tell that little grinch!

During my first engagement I had my mother's friend's sister ask me why would we waste all that money on a wedding and not on buying a house. Well if you actually had known us we had a house and cars and not only that but because we wanted to! I also had a co-worker tell me that my engagement wouldn't last long. At the time I thought he was a huge jerk and was pissed but then in the long run he was right I did call off the wedding. Funny what people who know nothing about you will say to your face. So far I haven't gotten any weirdo comments this go around but I'm waiting!
OMG Kittyachi, I. FEEL. YOU.
I have gotten, "I don't understand why people make such a big deal over weddings. If I were planning a wedding, it would totally be a really casual thing with everybody in jeans" more times than I can count. A few times I have mentally retorted, "Good thing you're still single then so you don't have to worry about it."

I just had my office nemesis come over to my desk and start asking me about the wedding, at which point she proceeds to bash everything to my face. Keep in mind this woman is in her forties, has never been married or been in a serious relationship, and has an internet boyfriend who she met in Second Life and who lives with his mother in England. It went a little something like this:
Her: "Ohhh, so you're like having one of those huge Saturday weddings that are like hours long? You do know Sunday is cheaper, right?"
Me: "Umm it's 150 people - not that big. And Sunday doesn't work for us cause we I have mostly OOT friends."
Her: "Ugh GAWD I've been to so many of those over the years. Such a waste of money. Especially in this economy. I don't get it - it's one day. Why do people make a big deal out of it? If it was me getting married, I'd want a very small wedding on the cheap because I don't care about all that Princess s**t."
Me: [long awkward pause] "Well, uhh, I guess everyone is different."
I should have said: "Well good thing you'll never have to worry about wasting your money on a wedding because no one in their right mind would ever f**king marry you because you're insufferable and the only reason you have a BF is because he lives across an OCEAN from you and doesn't have to touch you. PS - Go wax your upper lip because when you talk all I see is your mustache."
Hate. Her.
