How Do You Balance Weddings and Work?

September 5, 2008 RSS Feed Print

My colleague personal finance whiz Kimberly Palmer wrote recently about the financial burden of being a bridesmaid.

A wedding can also pose a complication on the job. Suppose you're a bridesmaid who is asked to travel for a wedding and you have no vacation days. Or suppose the rehearsal is on Thursday afternoon and the wedding is Friday evening and you're up against a tight deadline at work.

I'm curious to know how others have handled weddings and work in their lives. Has anyone refused to be a bridesmaid for a career-related reason?

Ever hear of being married to your work?

Solves you problem uniquely, doesn't it?

Show me a woman willing to get married (the first time) without any gaggle of bridesmaids at all, and I'll show you a good woman with a good head and a good heart.
