Advice for girls who are trying to decide if they should work 3 days and 8 hours before they say I do...

Don't!! If you don't have to, don't!! I have so much to do (that I can't get done) and I can't even get ready because my head is all over the place. I have no IDEA how I am going to get through today and tomorrow at work!

Just take one thing at a time. Prioritize what MUST get done, and do that first. It will be here before we know it!!

I had a hard enough time getting ready for my shower with 2 days off before it (everyone was from OOT and all my BM were staying with me). Thankfully my boss had me work extra days the weeks before, so my last day working before my Saturday wedding was Monday! Best ever!

Re: Advice for girls who are trying to decide if they should work 3 days and 8 hours before they say I do...

My wedding is on a Sunday. I have the Veterans Day holiday off the Friday before. AND I have the Tuesday of that week off, too for Election Day. I'm hoping that's enough time without having to take extra time off. We'll see as it gets closer.

Can you request to take some time off now? Or at least leave early? Good luck!!!! BREATHE!!!

Sadly, I have to work up until the Wed before my wedding, although my parents will be in town earlier than that, so who knows at this point. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Once July 4th hits. I'm no longer MS.Kim I'm MS. wedding. Don't even talk to me about daycare or kids. Listen I'm my own boss. It's even harder to say okay no work just wedding but I'm closing my daycare the week of the 4th of July. But the Honey moon, My assistants have to sweat it out!

I'm glad someone posted about this. I was debating whether to take even the Wednesday before my wedding off (it's on a Saturday)! Now I know better!!

I worked up until the day of..for me it was better since all I would do after work was come home and obsess. Work for me is fun, I am a teacher and the kids actually kept me sane during that time. JMHO
