New Job Before Wedding?

I started a new job 3 weeks before my wedding. I worked 2 weeks, took off a week off before the wedding, and then went back to work a week after the wedding so we could go on our honeymoon.

I worked it into my offer/acceptance that those time of requests were non-negotiable. I got paid for a bit of it as I earned enough time in the first two weeks to have part of it paid, and took the rest unpaid.

It was stressful, but having the wedding time off request in before I accepted made it easier to know I wasn't going to miss out on it.

I'm looking to leave my job as soon as I possibly can. Unfortunately I don't have the time to work on my resume and portfolio right now, so it'll have to wait until after the wedding and honeymoon. I wouldn't really want to start somewhere new anyway and immediately have to take 7 days off (which I probably wouldn't get paid for...at least I'll be getting PTO)

I transferred within my company. I went from a local office with 15 minute commute, to corporate office with an hour commute. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

How much time do you need off for you wedding/honeymoon. I work in HR and it's totally normal for people to need time off for preplanned vacations, wedding, etc.

You shouldn't stay at your job for another year if you aren't happy.

Life is too short. I waited out my job for a year and it has finally gotten better as of July. I was interviewing for other jobs in the interim and it made me realize that my job is truly a good fit, with a few tweaks.

I left my job and started a new one. I just told them ahead of time when the wedding is and that I'll need time off and they were very understanding. FH started a new job too but he refuses to tell them ahead of time when the wedding is so We'll see how well that goes for him! Granted it's not till next year but I think notice is appreciated more than waiting a month out.

I just changed jobs 3 weeks ago and our wedding is in 8! I told them right from the beginning and it was fine!

FH starts a new job tbe 21st and we get married the 16th of Sept. It sucks because he is taking his vacation unpaid but leaving his old job he gets paid out for his current vacation time so I guess it works out roughly the same. Just book your honeymoon before you find a new job and then make it a condition of your employment (tell them while you are interviewing). That being said, I would kill for a work from home job. I don't know your situation but I wouldn't switch without thinking through all the ramifications. Good luck!

I did and I couldn't imagine staying where I was now that I'm at my new job. Just be upfront about days off for the honeymoon and don't expect too much (they gave me a week and a half off, 2-3 weeks is a little different...)

It could be hard to start a new job and get time off for the wedding and honeymoon, but honestly your happiness should come first. Its hard to suck it up at a position where you're unhappy just because there's good benefits. Honestly, I would rather work somewhere making a little less if it means I'm happier.

You're worried about switching jobs a YEAR out ???? Omg... try a month before. Don't stick it out because you can-

I did.

Luckily new job is flexible and knew from the get go.

I took a week but could have taken more I just didn't feel comfortable. So we're now finishing up our mini-moon tomorrow and I'll head back into the office Thursday afternoon. We'll then take a longer honeymoon/pre-anniversary trip next late spring/early summer after we've both settled into our jobs more.
