How many days off work are you taking before your wedding? Our wedding is july 5th, so ill be off the 4th, (friday) so i was thinking thursday for nails, waxing, and other girly stuff. Maybe Wednesday just for mental health? I will have a week off between the wedding and when we leave on a two week...

How many days off work are you taking before your wedding? Our wedding is july 5th, so ill be off the 4th, (friday) so i was thinking thursday for nails, waxing, and other girly stuff. Maybe Wednesday just for mental health? I will have a week off between the wedding and when we leave on a two week honeymoon.. So ill be off work a total of 3 ¹/2 weeks. Im iffy about taking another day, but it might be worth it for my sanity.

Ps- i have been a vacation horder in the past and will still have another 2 1/2 weeks remaining after taking the 3 for the wedding.

    I'm planning on at least 2 days off before the wedding then I'm going on an 8 day cruise.

    and then when we come back we'll be moving into our new place so another few days. so About 2 weeks total from start to finish.

    We took off only the day before the wedding (to get the marriage license and the court waiver of the three-day waiting period, check into the accommodations, have our nails done, meet with the rabbi, and have the welcome dinner). We also had a day of traveling to the wedding location before that, but it was on a Sunday, so it didn't involve time off work.

    We did take off three days after the wedding to travel back home, and set up for the at-home reception. But we didn't take a honeymoon.

    I plan to take a week off before my wedding and a week after to fulfill our typical summer vacation home. We will have our honeymoon later on in the year.

    I am taking Friday off and maybe Thursday or at least a half day on Thursday. Then have the week off afterwards for my honeymoon cruise. Trying to decide if I want to take the Monday off after the honeymoon just to get settled in because we won't get back till early evening on Sunday. But I also don't want to use all my time up in the beginning of the year as I am getting married in March.

    I'm getting married on a Friday, so I'm taking Thursday, a half day Wednesday and the Monday off. We are both off for 2 weeks for the honeymoon over New Years!

    I'm nowhere near planning to that point just yet. But I feel weird calling off or requesting off of work that isn't necessary for financial reasons. I'm one of those "well I could be making money" people. And if I'm already calling off a couple days for the wedding then potentially a week or two for the honeymoon, I would be uneasy about taking additional days off. Unless I had like a months worth of vacation pay that I knew I wasn't going to use, then hell yeah hahah.
