This is the exact moment that he should've mentioned that it was a surprise
If only he'd played it cool, and reiterated that he wasn't the one in charge of curating the guest list, he wouldn't be in this position now.

She knows, dude
She can tell just by the way you talk about her! I bet this guy's eyes light up when he mentions the coworker, or perhaps he has some other "tell" that he isn't cognizant of, but that his wife sees as a waving red flag.

It's a shame that he feels this way
He's got the whole event under a microscope. He says he's been standoffish towards his wife, which she might have noticed. But she's probably just out living her life, unaware that he feels so strongly. The coworker's probably forgotten it by now. It's just this guy, sunk into his feelings about these 2 women in his life.

He is MAJORLY overthinking this

This is an interesting point, too
This fella is very fixated on his coworker's feelings, which he may just be projecting onto her. Things are only really awkward if you make them that way. If you just play it cool and let it blow over, it'll be fine. And, as other people noted, I probably wouldn't bring it up again. He'd come off as the office weirdo if he kept harping on about how sorry he is for his wife's exclusionary move. Plus, the implications of why she left out the coworker are probably awkward enough… no need to bring that into the workspace if he can help it.

Does his wife have a 6th sense about this girl?
Women just know things sometimes. Call it intuition, or maybe just knowing someone well after years of marriage. But if that wife thinks her husband has a crush on a young colleague, it would be very embarrassing to bring that girl to the party and watch her husband make a fool of himself.
