How many days off before wedding?

katieg520 · October 2013

I am a teacher and I can't leave my students for a whole week. We would be so far behind on curriculum and the subs here are horrible. So I am only taking off the Friday before my Saturday wedding. It is the weekend before Mardi Gras, so we have off that Monday-Wednesday at work, so I will only need to take off the next Thursday and Friday for my honeymoon.

I understand being a teacher. My FI is a teacher, which is why we decided not to have it in May like I always wanted. I also work for a school district (same as FI, but we met in college) but I'm not a teacher. I work in the central office so no issue with getting time off in the summers

it is so hot here and I wanted to have an outdoor wedding, so a summer wedding was a no for. I went for the Mardi Gras holidays!

Haha I don't blame you

gotta schedule a wedding for whatever works for you!

and BTW- I'm so jealous you get days off for Mardi Gras!

I am admittedly blessed in this regard because we are self-employed. FI will be very busy and take off as little as possible, but I will be able to take more time in the last week or so--we will need it with so much out-of-town family coming in.

I get ample vacation time and normally don't work fridays, so I am taking the whole week before off. I also travel for work as a consultant, so if I were to work, it would mean I was OOT the week before my wedding.

If I can get my client to give me remote work, I may try and work a few days, but I certainly don't want to be out of town in case something comes up and I need to drop of checks, make last minute decisions, sign for something or anything.

Wedding is on a Sat. I will need Thurs, Fri, Sat & Sun off. This is for greeting out of town guests and family & bridal party members. I am also asking for Mon off because with seeing everyone off on Sun or even possibly Monday...I would like to recoop before going back to work.

I have 6 days of vacation left so I plan on using those on the days leading up to the wedding, plus my regular 2 days each week off. So I think I'm set. My vacation days reset in May.

Not going on a honeymoon. Might do a mini one in the summer but will wait to go anywhere nice.

Wedding was local for me, but all my family traveled. My step dad arrived on wed first so it was an excuse to take off. I was lucky though. I took like 3+ weeks off for our wedding and honeymoon.

I took no days off before the wedding - was at work the day before my wedding! But that was because I was taking three weeks off work for our honeymoon and I wanted to be sure all of my work was caught up before I was out of the office and unreachable.

I am taking the day before my wedding and the two days after. My FI has a set scedule and will only need the day of off.

See you sound like me. I have Fridays off in the summer, but still work 40 hours just in 4 days. I was thinking leave Friday and take off Mon-Thurs then the next Mon to drive back on. We're doing our honeymoon the week after since the week of is july 4th.
