I don't know if it's all the planning starting to bear down on me or what...but my FH's grandma was supposed to let us use her timeshare for our vacay and at the time she offered we said sure. One of my best friends parents offered to let us use theirs and I turned out down because of his grandma. Then I was applying for another job so I thought I couldn't take the honeymoon until Dec., so when I found out I didn't get the job I decided to take the honeymoon right after the wedding in July. So now I am under pressure because I have to let my boss know in 2 weeks when I plan on taking vacation. She's trying to give me preference for my weeks because she knows I'm getting married but she can only hold on for but so long. Soooo tonight I ask FH to ask his grandma what's going on with the booking, and she kind of caught and attitude and said 'oh well first you wanted december and now you want july so what can I say'. So he says well you know it's cuz I had to ask for my vacation time as soon as possible. So she just kind of grunted and said she would TRY to call tomorrow. I'm sooooo pissed now because we could have gone with my best friend's parents and they would not have had a problem with whatever we wanted and now we have to put up with this crap. It's not like I would have chosen to go on my honeymoon months after the wedding but you have to do what you have to do and at that time I had to apply for that job. I'm so upset because I've been looking around at different vacations and we just can't afford anything right now. We are buying a house and paying off all this wedding stuff and I really wish I would have known this months ago. I know things could definitely be worse & there are wayyy more important things going on in the world but I just want to have a good cry.

Re: Kind of sad...and kind of long
I agree with Gina...I would take the time off after the wedding, and hope for the best with the timeshare. If it doesn't work out, take a mini moon...and plan for a bigger hm at a later date. When you don't have the stress of the wedding on you, you'll have more time to plan that anyways.
I'm doing the same thing...we're probably just going a weekend someone week after we get married, and then main HM 6-7 months later. Good luck!

Re: Kind of sad...and kind of long
her reaction was wrong because your reason for first saying you wanted to go in december and now you say july ..is understandable..does she own that week that you want to go? depending on where you want to go if you don't own that week at that particular resort/hotel..you may not get it & put on a waiting list..well at least my timeshare works like that..take some days off for the wedding and you use the other week or so for your HM later on in the year.
