June 2012 Weddings
Time off for Wedding
How much time do you plan on taking off for your wedding and honeymoon?
I would like to take 2 1/2 weeks and I will defiantly have the days. The wedding is June 9th; and having a DW so I wanted Thursday and Friday off before to pack up and travel to Utah; then 9 nights for the honeymoon, then we have to travel back from Utah. I wasn't worried about it till this last week. The guy that sits next to me asked for 2 weeks off over the holidays and he was denied. Granted my boss hates this guy and he asked on very short notice..but now I am freaking out. I sent him an email to sit down and discuss what possibilities are for time off around my wedding. I figured it was better to talk to him in person then sending an email asking for 2 1/2 weeks off. We are meeting tomorrow... and I am a little nervous. Any words of wisdom?

However, my boss is a wicked jerk about things like this. I told him I would need two weeks off. He laughed at me and said, " you can have two weeks off, just not in a row. Your funny if you think you were getting two weeks in a row off".
I am planning a trip to Europe for my honeymoon. My current plan is Friday (8th) off with the wedding Saturday. Then back to work on Monday, Tuesday and maybe Wednesday. Then definitely Thursday, Friday and the entire next week off.
Definitely not an ideal situation, but my boss is not always ideal.

[QUOTE]I'm taking off Wednesday-Friday before the wedding. I'm pretty sure we'll leave for our honeymoon on Sunday and get back on Friday or Saturday. I think I'm going to take the following Monday off as well in order to get some stuff done and ease back into things. I'm pretty sure I'll have at least 2 free-be vacation days for the honeymoon because it will be over 4th of July. So I'll be taking 7 days of vacation. I think I'll have 10 vacation days next year, and I have to take one off for my cousin's bachelorette party and another off for the day before her wedding, so that leaves me with 1 more vacation day post honeymoon.<strong> I hope I can make it. haha

June 2012 March Siggy Challenge: Honeymoon location
I have already talked with my bosses and they have ok'd it. They are actually even letting me carry over 40 hours to next year. Usually we can only hold up to 40 hours PTO (paid time off) and if you have extra you need to use it or lose it. So, I'm very happy about it.
June 2012 May Siggy Challenge: The invitations
I am hoping when I sit down and explain the travel to Utah and back plus the honeymoon he will understand. Two other scenarios..book the honeymoon at a different date.. or wait until he is no longer my boss..lol (my team is suppose to split off soon and our side is suppose to get a new mgr)
