Tony Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Most people do that on a Saturday, and I don't think that schools work on Saturdays. Registry offices also work on Saturdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee79 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 It only takes an hour a the registry office if you need time off work. Exactly, can't you bring a note in asking to be excused from morning lessons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHsheff Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 If they're restricted to no more than six weeks' total holiday like "every other person in the world," then yes, they should be so allowed. Not in my opinion - don't most people just choose the first day of their fortnight's holiday, and do it then? Or ask for three weeks as this is a special year? (and see if permission is granted or not) Teachers aren't special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppins Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Teachers in many towns in the US get 5% off a mortgage if they buy in the town they teach in...good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHsheff Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yes, we can make it during holiday time but I just wondered. Thanks Sorry, hadn't read the thread properly!

Tony Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Some have special needs though. Happy Helper, with your question you've appeared as Daniel in the lions den which is perhaps unfortunate for a new member. I hope you'll grow to like us a bit more. We're not really this unfriendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you'll grow to like us a bit more. We're not really this unfriendly I agree! Sometimes, some of us are too quick to jump onto a well-worn bandwagon. I don't usually - but I'm sorry in this case for responding to other posters' responses, rather than keeping your question in mind. As Tony says, Sheffield Forum is usually informed, informative, and friendly. Good luck with the forthcoming wedding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyHelper Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 I#m really happy there is a real mix of replies because everyone feels differently about this subject. As it happens, I think teachers are expected to marry in the school holidays but why should they???? It seems they only get 1 day off to get married and it can take a short time maybe for a small wedding and longer for bigger. As it happens, we are going to get married at the registry office with two witnesses (friends), we will then have a drink and meal with them locally and then take off to a nice hotel to relax etc.. If my teacher h2b has to be back at work because he only gets a day, then its a bummer if you are away in a hotel...see what I mean. It doesn't seem fair to plan your wedding day in the school holidays. As for friday and saturdays, yes that seems easier but if you need to plan a wedding within a time scale and all the fridays and saturdays are taken up, you have to have a weekday. It can take away your personal preferences even more... I think week days are quieter and you can get better deals at hotels etc... in the week. Anyway, thanks all for your input, advice and opinions. Greatly received!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
