    Hi Ladies!!!

    I was just wondering what week would be the best to take off before the wedding to tie up all the loose ends. A week before? A month before? What experiences did you have before the wedding that were unexpected that you had wished for time off to deal with?

    Oh for sure the week before! There is NO WAY I could have made it if I hadn't taken those days off! I'm stressing just thinking about it.

    That is what I sumitted a few weeks ago. We are waiting to take our honeymoon until the end of the year for multiple reasons, but I requested the week before off and the three days after off too.

    Good to know! Thanks!

    I took the week before the wedding off.  I had planned on working, but it just ended up that there was too much to do.  I would have gone too stir crazy if I had taken more than that off, but this was a great amount of time.  I got things done, but had time to relax and do my hair, mani/pedi, etc.  I also had the next 10 days off after teh wedding because of vacation and Memorial Day weekend.  We only went away for 4 days for our "mini-moon" but it was still a nice break.

    I'm definitely going to take the week off beforehand.  I don't think anyone here is going to tell you not to do that!
