Chuck it in the champagne fountain! Your wedding/honeymoon is about the only time aside from parental leave you can be 'unresponsive'
Turn it off and leave it at home. Part of having WLB is setting hard boundaries. This is a completely reasonable country so don’t set a stupid precedent for yourself.
Congrats!!
I’m getting married next month and my bosses have already told me to make it clear in my OOO that I’m out for my wedding and not looking at emails. Anyone who expects you to do anything different is deeply unwell.
Being clear in your OOO message is key.
My uncle is a chief heart surgeon and recently remarried. He did not have his work phone on him for his wedding day. He saves lives, we don’t so there is no reason to work on your wedding day.
Very much this.
My work phone is my personal phone, so I had it with me, and my supervisor called me a few times on my honeymoon and had me handle a client call. Looking back, that was totally not okay and I should have set better boundaries in advance and not answered if she did call. I let her push me around because I was young and eager, but that’s not healthy or sustainable. Things got so much better for me when I started setting boundaries because then there was basic respect that I demanded and was given.
I worked a bit in the morning while I was getting hair and makeup done - just sending emails on my phone and stuff. It calmed my nerves.
I put my phone away for the day as the MOH, let alone being the bride. Give yourself the day!!! Tell your teams. They should respect your time
Girl put that phone away, you have absolutely no obligation to answer your work phone during your wedding.

Put it in a drawer at noon the day of the rehearsal dinner and don’t pick it up until the evening after the wedding.
I gave it to my MOH so I felt like I had it nearby.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is as important as your important events. I worked during a mandatory day at the racetrack, and was still laid off two weeks later.
