Boss asked who paid for honeymoon...

I saw my boss today (I see her maybe every couple of months) and she asked where we are going on our honeymoon. For the record, we are only going for a week and nowhere super extravagent. She then asked "was this gifted to you, or are you paying yourselves?" Super weird question IMO, but I told her...

I saw my boss today (I see her maybe every couple of months) and she asked where we are going on our honeymoon. For the record, we are only going for a week and nowhere super extravagent. She then asked "was this gifted to you, or are you paying yourselves?" Super weird question IMO, but I told her flat out "nope. We are paying for it." To make things weirder, I just happen to be due for my annual review where she is determining how much of a raise I will get- if any. I can't help but think she was passive aggressively saying "well if you can afford your own honeymoon you seem like you don't need a raise." She can be weird about money sometimes, but my coworker was present for this conversation and also thought it was suspicious/super strange. UGH.

    Maybe shes planning to give you a "bonus" to help you with your wedding. I wouldn't over think it.

    Yeah, that's messed up.

    I've told my boss before that something he asked was none of his business. I kept my job, too. Depends on the boss if you can get away with that or not.

    My answer would have been passive too like "oh haha, luckily raises are based on performance and not need right?" *wink wink*
