Sexism in wedding planning (lemm.ee)

I have a one on one with my boss every week. He's a decent guy.

But every week he asks how wedding planning is going and there's so much more to my life than that and I wonder if he would ask if I was one of the guy engineers in the office. My wedding is next summer.

Ugh. Anyone else have any similar experiences?

Without further context, I think he’s just making small social talk. I ask about wedding planning when any of my friends is planning one - guys, gals, or nonbinary pals. (He might be angling for an invite, though.)

This is probably true. I might be a little too on guard since I'm one of two female engineers versus about fifteen male engineers at the company.

Lol. It's definitely interesting because we moved just this summer and sent out save the dates two months ago. I'm sure both my fiance and I will have new friends to invite by the time spring rolls around.
