How to plan your

wedding at work

(

AND

NOT GET

FIRED!

)

Does wedding planning seem

like a full-time job? Jonathan

Kirkby reveals how he learnt to

multitask like a pro for his civil

partnership last September

WEDMIN IS WORK, and even

if you’ve hired a planner,

you’re still going to have to

do some research yourself.

My partner Ian and I both

run our own businesses so

we had to learn to tick off

those tasks between 9-5pm.

From squeezing in suit

fittings between meetings

and managing clients while

tasting cakes – I tried it all.

Not your own boss? No

problem – I can give you the

inside track on how to weave

all those tasks seamlessly

into a working day so no

one notices a thing. Don’t

believe me? Here’s how:

You don’t need to choose between your

wedding and your job. When I’m in the

office it’s work time, so I had to pick my

‘wedding moments’ and use them well.

Just 30 minutes early each morning for

wedmin (in a blissfully quiet office) can

help you get ahead of the game. We sent

out our save-the-dates a year beforehand

and, in the months leading up to the

wedding, I was in the office until 10pm

every night so ticking off our to-do list

early was a huge help down the line.

FORGET BUYING THE FROCK (FOR NOW),

IT’S TIME YOU NEED TO BUY!

Use your time wisely
