Gay Weddings

Just stressed and need to vent... indulge me?

Hey boardies!  Just wanted to get something off my chest and knew you'd all understand.

We're 207 days away from our wedding date.  We just completed a big move (out on our own with no roommates), and today we got some news I had been dreading...  my fiance's work refuses to grant him the time off for our wedding in advance. 

I know it probably seems silly to be stressed about it this far in advance and things may work out before October, but right now I could just scream.  Maybe it's the stress of moving and I'm overly emotional, but I really want to sit down on my kitchen floor, have a big glass of wine, and cry.

As it stands right now, we won't really know for sure if Kevin can get the time off until 30 to 60 days from the date.  For an out of state wedding.  I feel like all our planning has been a total waste.  Also, for the record, this is a call center job.  it's not like the man is a surgeon or something that lives depend on.  Sadly, we don't have the luxury financially of just saying "Well, he won't be there because he's getting married, and the company can go to hell".

Like I said, I mostly just want to vent, but if anyone wants to sympathize, vent with me, cheer me up, or just join me on the kitchen floor for that wine, that'd be great...

  • It is okay to vent, but i believe it will work out for you. I know how it is to wait on a job to make a decision that will effect your life.

  • OH boo!!  My FI had the same problem.  His work scheduled him to work on a Saturday - he found out in January, and we're getting married in June.  And they told him that far in advance that they WOULD NOT work.  But eventually they changed around the work schedules so he is off that day. 

    I do call center work also, so I know how things go.  Could he switch with someone for that Saturday off?

    Bummer!! Hopefully it will work out sooner. I would be upset too. Feel free to vent anytime. Your feelings are valid. :)

  • We went through  something similar when we notified our bosses 2months ago. My finance has a two week paid vacation stored up, when she asked for five days of it for the wedding (day before, day of, and 3 days after), her boss said "that is too long, do you really need that much time off?". Due to wedding stress, that had me going for about half an hour, so I know how it is! Take a deep breath, bosses will be bosses. Good luck and keep us posted, there is always someone on here who can relate in one way or another!

  • I'm in the same boat except the fact our date is 4 months away! I'm like for real?! Like how the heck am I supposed to send out our invitations? My fiancee doesn't think it's a big deal. She is like I'll know like two weeks before!!! That is impossible!!!!!
