How do I convince my FH to take off from work the Friday before our Sunday wedding. Our wedding is in October, but I would like to ask for time off now. We will be taking 2 weeks off for our HM, so in total it would be 11 days (including that Friday before). He says, it's on a Sunday so we'll have all day Saturday to do things... but we live in CT, so we're still going to have to go to LI, it's only an hour away, but I will still need to get my nails done and all that good stuff Saturday afternoon, because the ceremony is at 11:30 am.
I know there will be plenty of little things to do that we should have that extra day, but I just can't think of anything right now... any ideas on what to tell him that we will need to do that day, besides just relax (which he said we will do that on our HM...)???
Thanks ladies!

I kinda agree with your FH I am not taking that Friday of for my Sunday wedding. What hours does he work? What will you need to do that Friday?

You can tell him that you never know what kind of last minute stuff may come up. You should leave on Friday...what if there is traffic or a storm or a road is closed? It would be too much worrying and stress if this happened on Saturday. Then you can take care of last minute things on Friday. Saturday you can get your nails done and then relax because you have a big day ahead of you. You don't want bags under your eyes on your wedding!

You've got plenty of time to work on him about it - just relax..... When it get's closer to the day, hopefully he will realize all the things you need to get done.
If not - couldn't you take a train or have someone pick you up the day before so you could get your stuff done and then he could meet you in LI on Sat. morning???
I wouldn't worry about it now...you have plenty of time to work out the details!

Re: I need help/advice...
we are going through a similar situation right now. i need to have FH take off the friday before and possibly the thursday (tbd) for out saturday wedding. since we have yet to book our HM and FH boss is requesting vacation schedules, i told him to tell her 2 weeks after the 18th plus a day or 2 before give or take because we have yet to book flights and confirm appointments...
why don't you have FH request to play friday by ear, and when it gets closer to the date he can decide whether or not he really needs to take it off...

I had friends that got married on Sunday & worked till friday, but they were local.
Maybe if you take Friday, there are things you can do at home, and then you both can go to LI saturday. Sometimes its easier to have time alone for the girly stuff.
I usally do that before a vacation , b/c I like to get my nails done, and I take longer to pack & do laundry, so I take the day before we leave off, but he ususally doesn't.
