Do Not Work the Week of Your Wedding

Kathryn, on September 9, 2015 at 1:56 PM

Posted in Do It Yourself 57

Dear God, I am only working 2 days this week but I wish I wasn't! I wanted to take the whole week off but I am already taking unpaid time for the honeymoon so I decided to work 2 days. Today has been so annoying. Clients needing stuff, Co workers needing stuff. Venue asking all kinds of questions....

Dear God, I am only working 2 days this week but I wish I wasn't! I wanted to take the whole week off but I am already taking unpaid time for the honeymoon so I decided to work 2 days. Today has been so annoying. Clients needing stuff, Co workers needing stuff. Venue asking all kinds of questions. MIL trying to find someone to bring grannie to the wedding. Just too much stuff. I am also prepping my co worker to take over my projects while I am gone. Honestly it isnt like I am doing a whole lot of work. I am fixing my tables and trying to find a limo to the airport for the honeymoon haha.

Just don't if you don't have to. Other than work, wedding planning is great!

On that note, enjoy Kanye.,

    My wedding was on a Friday, and I worked the Monday & Tuesday, or maybe I should say I was at work the Monday & Tuesday. Lol.

    Auto cad is computer aided drafting, so I used it to draw floor plans.

    Jamgirl, yeah I am at work, that is about all I can say, working, eh, not so much. But that normally is the case haha.

    I'm not working this whole week but it's because I'm leaving this job and trying to use my vacation days! I'm so nervous I realized I am never hungry and haven't been eating a lot Smiley sad

    In the minority here I see, I'm working through tomorrow and am glad I planned it this way. Everything's done for the wedding and if I wasn't at the office I'd just be at home stressing out - better to use the PTO for the honeymoon. Although my concentration is definitely waning lol

    Ugh, I have to work Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, and the wedding is on Friday.

    I just got a new supervisor though, so he might let me take Wednesday off (unpaid).

    My week was like OriginalRandi's. The week of my wedding, I worked Mon and Tue and took Wed-Fri off. Wednesday was the day we went to get the marriage license and also the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Thursday I checked into our suite at the hotel with one of my bridesmaids. Friday was the wedding. I took the following week off for the honeymoon. So I was off work 8 business days. So many of my wedding details had been taken care of that I didn't have much to do and didn't need the whole wedding week off.

    I already have it on my calendar that I will not be here for the week of my wedding, and its in March! I have watched way to many of my friend try to wrap everything up in 1 or 2 days before. I do not want that added stress. I will give myself the WHOLE week!

    I must be a crazy workaholic haha- the only days off the week of the wedding were the Thursday and Friday (wedding day), and even still, I was fielding calls and messages on Thursday and on Friday morning while I was getting ready!

    DH was in the same boat, and had only the Tuesday off for his bachelor party fishing trip, and the wedding day off.

    I'm working Monday-Thursday before my wedding and only asked for Friday off (though my wedding is on a Sunday, so that gives me one extra day). I'm already taking the next week off for honeymoon purposes and March is a pretty busy time in my office, so I had to balance. Luckily I have a (mostly) office job and can coordinate things from my desk!

    Ugh in the same boat. I am working 3 days this week, off Friday. Then I come back next week Tue-Thur and leave for honeymoon on Friday. Yay, for 3 day weeks, but my attention span is shot! Smiley smile

    I have to work the entire week of my wedding because I'll be taking all the vacation I've accrued for my honeymoon. Ironically, I work on divorce cases on weekdays LOL
