Most of you know my sister just got married this past spring. We're afraid that her new husband might not be able to get off work to come up for our wedding He's a detective/assistant chief (?) at a little PD down in TX. He's got plenty of vacation and PTO but they're so understaffed they can't guarantee him the time off b/c they don't have anyone to fill in. He's currently looking for a new job/PD but if he gets one before Oct then he probably wouldn't be able to take off so soon after starting.
We're kind of hoping that he finds a new job and can tell them that he needs the time off in Oct for a previously planned trip or that he can work it so he starts a new job after the wedding. Sister would still come without her hubby but I know she'd be sad about it the whole weekend. The formal pictures after our wedding will be the first pictures with the WHOLE family since FI managed to sneak out of the family pics at sister's wedding ("I'm not family yet"). I also don't want all the slow romantic dances to be a reminder to sister that her new hubby couldn't come. Please cross your fingers, toes, whatever that something works out and he can come.
