Do you guys actually take a day off to attend a Friday wedding (presuming ceremony is during work hours)?

Re: day off?
Depends who was getting married and my flexibility with work. I would for close family and close friends. Otherwise, probably not. If you're having a friday wedding I would assume you would understand that a lot of people wouldn't be able to make the ceremony (JMO).

Depends on who is getting married - if it a close person to me - I would definately take off - if it is someone not so close I would go to the reception...

I would for a close friend but I don't really like it.

Usually, I try to leave early so that I can attend the service. Unfortunately, work isnt always as flexible.

Depends on how close the person is and how many vacation days I have available at that point.
Last year we had a wedding on the Fri of Labor Day weekend and it worked out that I didn't have to take time off work because we got off early that day and the church was at 5pm.

Re: day off?
My friend from high school recently got married at 4 on a Friday.. in Jersey. So I took the day off for her wedding. Personally I think it is asking a lot of people to have a wedding during a work day and work hours, but what can you do???

Re: day off?
I am getting married on a Friday and I really don't expect a lot of people other than my immediate family and close relatives. If others can get off of work though, that would be great, but I'm not expecting them to.

Same with me, I'm getting married on a Friday. I understand that a lot of people won't be able to make the ceremony. For me I would probably take off to go for a friend or family member. It does make me a little sad not everyone will be able to share in the ceremony but had to have it on a friday what can you do

I think it really depends how much notice you give people and their individual flexibility....and of course to not take it personally if people can't make it...Iike most of you I try to take the day off or half day if it's someone close :) I can't be too upset my wedding is on a thursday after a holiday!!! but surprisingly a lot of people because they know now have already put in for the time off, so we are lucky!
