+1. I know a few couples that met at work. In some cases they kept it under wraps until they got married! There are only three reasons as a co-worker that I would even care about this - if I am trying to date one of them (awkward), if I say so and so is a jerk and that’s their SO, or if the person is getting special treatment because of that relationship and it impacts my opportunities. Two of those scenarios are within my control - me personally not trying to date someone at work, and not badmouthing anyone even when they are being a jerk. So basically unless there is favoritism, not my business.
