Off from work before/during/after your wedding?

ie: I plan on taking off two days before the wedding and then two weeks for the HM.

I will need to take like 2 and a half weeks off....I am having 2 weddings....1 here, one the following weekend in another country...and then after that we will go straight to the Honeymoon to finally get some rest!!! I still need to work out specifics though...
I think I am going to go crazy with all off this planning!!

Re: How Much Time Did You Take...

i'm taking five days off before the wedding only because i'm planning it from chicago. hoping there won't be many loose ends to tie up at that point, though.

Re: How Much Time Did You Take...

I think I'll take 2 days off before the wedding, and then another week after the wedding of vacation time. (The following week the university where I work is closed, so I really get two straight weeks of vacation). So I end work on Dec. 14th, and come back the following year!

Re: How Much Time Did You Take...

I took 1.5 days before the wedding, 2 after (wedding was a Sun night).

I'll be taking 11 total work days in June for the honeymoon.

So in total, 14.5 work days (i.e. almost 3 full weeks).

I'm doing the EXACT same thing and have already cleared it with the boss (who is a recent bride herself so I got off reallllly easy!!)

Good luck!

Re: How Much Time Did You Take...

Most of you guys are pretty lucky! You have so much time off.
I took a few Vacation days already this year so I don't have everything saved but my wedding is on a Friday and my RD is on Wednesday. I'm taking Wed, Thur & Fri then 1 week + 1 day.

9 Working Days
13 Alltogether

Re: How Much Time Did You Take...

I'm planning on two days before, and seven days following (a Monday through the following Wednesday). I would love to take more time, but work constraints prevent this, unfortunately.

Re: How Much Time Did You Take...

My wedding is on a Saturday. I am probably just leaving early Thursday and taking off all day Friday. Then 10 working days for the HM

Re: How Much Time Did You Take...

I'm planning to take off 1 week before and then 10 days for the HM and hopefully another 2 days off to recover

Re: How Much Time Did You Take...

My wedding is Saturday, June 18th, and my family is coming in on Friday, June 10th, so I'm taking off June 10th through July 4th. So, 3 weeks and 3 days. I must add though that my regular job (teaching) finishes May 6th, so I'll only be working at my 2nd job (Starbucks) after that. Plus, I'm going to San Diego for 11 days at the end of May.
