How much time to take off work?

MrsRies&Love, on June 12, 2017 at 8:47 AM

How far before the wedding is everyone going to take off from work? I was thinking the Thursday before our Saturday wedding through after the honeymoon. Those already wed, did you regret not taking off more time?

    I am taking Thursday and Friday off. Then working a few days, and taking a mini honeymoon over the next weekend. I do not have a lot of vacation with my new job, so it is all I could afford to take off. If I had more vacation, I would have taken the whole week off!

    I am taking a half day on the Wednesday before the wedding and will be out through the following week. Our wedding is a Saturday but it is a DW and we leave Thursday morning.

    I'm taking the whole week before off. FH thinks I'm crazy, but I know I'm going to need it lol.

    I'm having a Friday wedding, and maaaaybe will work the Monday before? I'll definitely take off Tuesday and Wednesday to prep (I also have a class Wednesday), Thursday will be rehearsal and starting to see OOT family, and I'll want Saturday and Sunday off after to recover and say goodbyes to OOT guests.

    I have the Tuesday through Friday off with the wedding Saturday. Ours is a semi destination/ 2 hours away and I have to process our flowers that are getting delivered up there on Wednesday.

    I took the Friday off before our Sunday wedding, and three days after for our mini-moon. Definitely wish I would've taken the whole week off after like my H did!

    I'm taking the week before off. Not that I really need it but I have so much vacation time I need to use I figured, why not?

    I am taking the Thursday and Friday before off, and Monday through the next Tuesday off (it's July 4th so I'm off Tuesday anyway).

    I will be taking off Thursday and Friday for our Saturday wedding. Then I'll be back at work the following Thursday. We're going on a "mini moon" and I wanted to save my PTO for our bigger vacation we plan going on next year.

    I'm off Monday (national holiday) work Tuesday then have off weds-Friday for my Saturday wedding. Then two weeks off after for honeymoon. I've been at my job 11 years so felt like I could take this time for me.

    My plan is to take the whole week off before, I am lucky to have the vacation time to do so.

    We are not going on a honeymoon ( at least not for awhile) but currently I am planning on taking from Tuesday August 8th - the following Tuesday the 15th off. My maid of honor is coming in from New York on the 8th and is staying until the 14th

    I left early on Thursday (we had to get his tux) and took off on Friday. Everything was pretty much done so it was plenty of time.
