I am getting married soon and moving out of state. I didn't tell my boss. i been with the company for 3 years. i am a security guard. the reason i didnt tell him because my marriage plans were so in hurry and until the last minuste every thing was so complicated but thanks GOD every thing is good now. I told him i need 3 weeks vacation which is due every year and i thougt i will just not come back to work here any more and will just tell them during my vacation. My dad works in other office far away, today my boss came to me and ask me if i was getting married since someone my dad's office told him since my dad told someone in there office. i was so embaressd and i told him that my cousin is getting married. What should i do now i am kind of feeling guilty. He is good to me since he hired me. should i just tell the truth now please advise me and be nice and helpfull.

I am so sensitive, i just dont want to hurt any one. i been thinking about it and feeling so bad.

Stop feeling guilty, this is a happy time in your life. Tell your coworkers and let them share in your joy. They will understand that you're at a crossroad in your life that is taking you elsewhere, but don't burn the bridge with them by hiding it and then sneaking out. You might need them again one day. Just tell them the truth, this is nothing to hide and be ashamed up. Shout it from the roof and celebrate. If they're really that upset about you leaving, 1: take it as a complement to your work and 2: if they can't be happy for you then it's probably not the people you want to be working with anyway. Congrats on the wedding, I wish you luck and many years of happiness
