I think from this July to next May is more than long enough away that you shouldn't have to even bring it up in an interview. I wouldn't worry about it.
I've been with my company for a long time and I'm still terrified to ask for 3 weeks off!
I could be wrong, but maybe this shouldn't be brough up until an offer of employment has been made (when both parties are serious about you getting the job)?
ETA: You should consider how it would work out with vacation time as well. For instance, you may not have 3 weeks of vacation time before a year is over. You should mention that you'd be willing to do Leave without Pay or something, but you do need it off as a requisite for accepting the job.
I got a job recently and was upfront about the days I needed off. I got a weekend off for my shower and 5 days for the wedding..no honeymoon. I think most employers are pretty understanding..the competition in Cali might be fierce though..I wouldn't even mention it unless you really have to or they ask about it.
The more I thought about it, the more I suppose I won't mention it until I'm actually hired...and I would def take unpaid leave
@AirForceWife78: One of my former coworkers took a new job about 6 months before her wedding. She told them upfront she'd need time off for her HM. They still hired her...
I'm taking off Thur-Friday before my wedding, and then 2 weeks afterwards. We're only going away for 8 days but not leaving until Wed after the wedding...I'm not going back to work for that! I've also got a lot of time racked up so it wasn't an issue for me. I'm sure my boss is secretly freaking out though.
I've been working at my job for a little over a year now and that's exactly what I did at my first interview. I told my now boss that I was getting married this October and that I plan on taking a month off. She hired me and I didn't take any holidays last year so that I can have as much as my month off paid for. She has not returned back on her word since it was something she knew before she hired me.
I just put in my vacation request at work today. I am taking Thursday and Friday off before the wedding, and two weeks afterwards for the HM. They were cool with it.
I actually didn't wear my ering or mention I was engaged at my interview. I got the job, and then started wearing my ering. I submitted my request for wedding/hm (12 days) and it was accepted.
If you make it perfectly clear during the hiring process that you will need the time off I can't see it being a problem. I made sure that my boss knew that I would be needing time off in August when I was hired and it hasn't been a problem so far.
Im not sure what I am going to do but I really dont think it will be a problem for me since we are only taking off for 8 days, I am starting to apply for jobs to start in may (after graduation from nursing school) but I figure I will just work extra in the weeks before and after to help open up the schedule that week for other nurses to pick up shifts. I am going to mention it in my interview though because I dont feel I am asking much time off especially this far in advance. I would definitely let them know if I was taking a leave of absence for three or more weeks though even if it meant not getting that position because it would look far worse to wait until afterwards.

Ok so this May I will move from FL to WY to be with FI who is stationed there in the Air Force. I will be jobless for a few months because in July we will PCS (change military bases) to CA and then I will begin the job hunt. How do you interview for a job and say "oh by the way I need three weeks off in May for my wedding and European HM ok?" Is anyone going to hire me? I can't hide that, because when the time comes, they would be pissed!
