THEY knooooow
We did it. We told the powers that be that we're gonna get married.
It cost $26 bucks and required a heck of a lot of rigamarole on the website, like whether you are an uncle marrying a niece (I kid you not. There was actually a button for you to click no... check it out: Registry of Marriages )
Now, to get some marriage leave.
According to my company's policy, we get five days of what they call "marriage leave''. Sounds great right?
Snort.
If only it were that easy. The HR folks are so concerned that their staffers will abscond illegally from work that they require proof - fair you would say - but then, they want a wedding invitation card. So I went, what about a letter from the Justice of Peace who says he will marry us on so and so a date?
Nope. They want a card.
Sigh.

Better make sure HR doesn't think you're actually inviting them... sekali they show up on boat... we might have to tie them to the hull...

Hey Nat
Since you having more than one event, ask HR if you give them separate invites for each event, whether you get 15 days leave ornot.
btw, did u manage to snag Bro Emmanuel to do the honours?
ps. i was never asked for an invite
