When to use this letter

Use this to ask for a longer stretch of leave around your wedding. Since the dates are known well ahead, managers expect the request early and with a plan for your work. Some employers have a separate marriage leave; in others it is taken from earned leave. Your HR policy will say which.

Before you send it

Apply several weeks ahead. Long leave needs planning by your team.
Offer a written handover: what is pending, where the files are, whom to call.
If your leave balance is short, say which part you request as leave without pay.

How to send or submit it

Speak to your manager first, then send the application by email or the HR portal so that there is a record. Share your handover note with the team before your last working day, and set an out-of-office reply with the name of the person covering for you.

Mistakes that get it sent back

Applied for only a few days before the wedding.
The dates of leave and the date of rejoining are not stated exactly.
No handover plan for work that will fall due while you are away.
The leave asked for is more than your balance, with nothing said about the extra days.
