How much time are you ladies take off from work before the wedding, plus I need a little advice?

I'm taking off the full week before. I'm flying in from GA, so I know I'll have a lot of last minute things to do. When I started my new job last August, I told my boss that I was getting married in April. No prob....I reminded him a few months ago, sent an email about it and everything. I also asked him how many days I could take, he said..'take as many as you need.' I'm the only Dr. in the office, plus my assistant, so when I take days off, I understand he needs to have a fill in for me. But, Saturday, he tells me that he's not going to be able to pay me any vacation time. There's no contract b/t me and him, therefore nothing explicitly explained as far as vaca, etc. I've been with co. over six months though, so I guess I did expect to get paid for atleast 1 week while I'm gone, definitely not both weeks. I wouldn't have taken so much time before the wedding to come home. I would've worked more days!!! I just feel like I'm kinda getting screwed, and I completely hate approaching the subject of money. I suck at confrontation, but I have to say something to him, right!

Just wondering what you guys are doing as far as your days off before?

TIA

I'm still not sure about this, but I would like to take the entire week off before the wedding and then the week after. I still have to see though.

I'm getting married on a Sunday. I'm working until the Thursday before my wedding because I'm hoping to take off the two weeks AFTER my wedding. I don't think it's right for him to tell you at the last minute you're not getting paid but I guess without a contract, you really can't fight it too much. Have you tried talking to him about paying you at least for the first week?

I'm only taking 1.5 days before. Then a week for the HM and an extra day to recoup. So that's 7.5 total business days.

Yup same here, I'm taking two weeks for the honeymoon, can't afford to take off another week. I work part time currently too (going to school too) so Im going to have to try to work around my already crazy schedule! I'll probably take the Friday (day before) as a half day or day off. Haven't checked with the bosses yet!

I am prob taking 2 days off prior to the wedding and then 2wks for the honeymoon

As for your situation, generally you acrue one day off for each month of employment.

Definitely discuss it with your boss.
