We are not leaving for our honeymoon until a week later.

I was thinking of taking just one day off before our wedding and no days off afterwards until the honeymoon.

Maybe 1 day off is not enough???

As of now, I'm only taking off the day before my wedding (getting married on a Friday) and I have the two weeks off right after for my HM.

week before and 2 weeks after

we live in Philly but are getting on long island. Our RD is on a thursday so i could have work that monday and tuesday, but i don't feel like it.
Then we have our wedding on sunday
then we leave for our HM on Tuesday out of philly and get back the following tuesday. again i could work that wednesday thursday and friday, but then its labor day weekend. so i just took off those 3 days and i'll come back to work the tuesday after labor day. i get 5 weeks vaca at my job, so i figure using 3 weeks for my wedding is ok

Re: How many days off are you taking before/after the wedding?

I'm taking off two weeks in total, from Wednesday to Wednesday. That's three work days before the wedding, and seven work days afterward. Our honeymoon is eight days. A nice bonus is the week before is Memorial Day, so I'm only working one day that week!

Re: How many days off are you taking before/after the wedding?

My company is very strict about taking your days, (ie, it's a policy not to take more than 5 consecutive days)

But I'm definitly AT LEAST taking the day before our wedding, & 2 weeks after. We're having a wedding weekend w/ a ton of events o the Friday & we plan on a 2 week honeymoon. I made sure they knew this before I accepted the job offer, and since a wedding is a once in a life time event, they will bend the rules.

Re: How many days off are you taking before/after the wedding?

I took off the week before the wedding and it was the BEST thing I could've ever done. I had so much running around to do, and it was great to spend time with my brothers, family, and friends before the wedding.

Re: How many days off are you taking before/after the wedding?

The wedding is on Sunday, so I'm taking off the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before and then two weeks after for the HM.

Re: How many days off are you taking before/after the wedding?

I was only planning on taking the Friday before the wedding off and possibly half the day on the Thursday before as that's the rehearsal dinner night. After that, we go on our HM for 10 days leaving on Monday evening. don't have that much vacation time! making the most of what I do have for the year!
