How long...

Suzie&Karl, 20 March, 2010 at 10:28 Posted on Planning 0 17

Is everybody having off before the wedding?

My work, if we are wanting more than 2 weeks off work, we have to book atleast a year in advance to get it authorised by the top boss.

I am getting married on a Friday, but because my family are coming over from Australia i want to spend as much time as i can with them cause after the wedding i'll be going on my honeymoon, and i probably wont see them again for about 5 years.

The week that i am getting married, the monday will be a bank holiday anyway, so i am just thinking maybe to have the whole week off as its only 4 working days off. But then it'll take me to having 3 and a half weeks off work, maybe even a whole month depending on the flight days of honeymoon. And i feel like i might be taking advantage cause the christmas just gone i had 6 weeks off to go to Australia and its not meant to be something you are allowed to do.

    I purposely booked our wedding for a date in our school summer holiday. So I've got 10 days off before the wedding, a 15 day surprise honeymoon then a couple of weeks off after.

    I think i'm only going to take the thursday and friday off before then the week after to chill out and enjoy being married!!

    We're not going on honeymoon until the summer so i'll probably take 2 weeks off for that.

    I finished up on the Tuesday for a Sat wedding and then wasn't back at work for a month. We were on honeymoon for 17 nights and got back on a Thursday and I went back to work on the Wednesday afterwards. Took me ages to get over the jet lag and didn't want my first week back at work to be a full one.
