It's your choice.  The funny thing is that
you can get a better job elsewhere or start your own business,
but you can't get married or find a new husband that easily.
Also, your boss can sack you at any time, for any reason.
A career you don't control is not worth any personal sacrifices.

I think your boss is a wicked man/woman. If your boss is female then she must either be a divorcee or an old woman searching for husband (she dey jealous u) and if male? Hmmm! Then i think he has blinking eyelid for u all this while. Damn the useless job and get married because there are many blessings that comes with marriage. Best of luck!

tell your hopeless boss to stop insulting your husband to be.
he is sick. A symtom of a typical one man business or enterprise.

Would like to know the nature of your job?

Would however advise that you go ahead with your wedding plans and don't let anything steal your joy away.

Have a blessed marriage.

Your husband to be should have answered this question not us,
  he is in position to say dam this job let's get on with our life or dance to the tune of your admirer(Boss)
     Tell us your relationship with your boss cause no smoke without fire.
        you check your husband's financial capacity, if it's strong quit the job

If it happened exactly the way u said it,

QUIT THE NONSENSE JOB.

But I can't beleived it happened like that. I never heard of such tales. I can't beleive a boss will be that heartless. Usually u have extra holidays (days off) given for your marriage. Some bosses even give quite enough days to cover your honey moon as well. Besisdes what about your normal holidays? Why not fix your wedding within your normal holidays if you've got a nice job.

I am in support of what Seun said "you can get a better job after your marriage" but marriage issue is something that comes once in a life time. So count your teeth with your mouth as they say.

well my own opinion may quite vary from urs.  lets take from both angle (your boss and You) i will say if u have any diffrencies with your boss as in u have any secret afair with him try and call him make him see reasons why u have to go 4 your marriage. And also make him understand that all the relationship stuff has to stop. And if at all u do not have anything in common make him understand that this is your life and if at all he still insist try and make plan B for an alternative that is during the break like xmas break etc u can get things done. but i will always make u understand one thing as your wedding is important so your job too is important DON'T BE LIKE A FOOLISH MAN WHOM AFTER HE HAD TAKEN HIS ACTIONS AND NOW HE START THINKING THAT WHY DID HE TAKE SUCH ACTIONs[b][/b] therfore look before u leap, though u might think u will always get a good job then it turns otherwise just make sure u look before u leap cause this is my honest advice for you. See the truth of the matter is that we men don't like dependent women cause it raises alot of issues, so if u think your Boss is persistent then try and reschedule the wedding to better and convinient date cause i beleive if u don't have anything secret with your boss he will never make such  foolish decisions and insist on it, and if u don't have anything with him try and talk things over with him afterall he is a man. he can always change his mind.

MY SISTER ABEG NO QUIT UR JOB O! JUST TRY AND AND TALK THINGS OVER WITH YA OGA

GOD HELEP You MA SISTER

AND HAPPY MARRIED LIFE IN ADVANCE

@ poster

Just relax yourself, you see i think he/she (your boss) does not want you to get marry, don't let that bordered your mind, when he/she refuse to give you time to go for your wedding, give yourself time and after the wedding rest very well but let it be at the back of your mind that if you return to work he/she may sack you or not, but when he did, just leave the work, leaving the work does not mean leaving the earth atleast your husband can cater for you till you get another job.

thanks.

i think your boss is a nice guy. i will like to be with someone like that. the beauty ofd it all is that unknowingly he is taking you to your point of destiny as prepare for you by God Himself.
i will advice that you do not say any bad thing against him. be strong and be positiv n prayerful. om the eve of your native law don't go to the office, do your thing n prepare 4 your BIG daz. After the weddin resume work n c what happens. if you're fired, Fine. . YOUR SUFFICEINCY IS IN GOD.

What did you do to your boss? I believe there are things that you're not telling us, however you have to choose marriage over the job (only and if only your husband can take care of you, if na you 'hold ya side' for the relationship, make you think twice o!!).

Your boss must be heartless or anti-marriage, except there is something you're not telling us. Otherwise, quit the job and marry your heart throb because your boss will definitely give you the boot.

Just like Seun said you can always find another job but definitely not another hubby so soon.

Is there some background info you are not giving us ? Is there a history between you and your boss ? Because no-one with all their marbles will ask you to choose between such options. You should have quit right there and then.

 OBEY YOUR BOSS AND REMAIN SINGLE FOR LIFE.  How can you ever think about what you should do?When you know that Marriage is the best thing that can happen in the life of every woman.Marriage gives you comfort,security,love,care,adoration,affection,money,total dependence on your man even if your working,above all it gives you GOD'S most valuable GIFTS OF LIFE CHILDREN,OR DO I SAY BABIES,all these your useless job and your animalistic boss can't give you in your entire life  time

If you've worked before, you will always get another job. Getting a job is only difficult when you have never worked before and are totally without experience. But since you've already been working, there are better jobs waiting out there for you. If you get married and stay in this colossal jerk's employment, imagine what will happen when you need to go on maternity leave. Dearie, kick that job to the kerb and marry your sweetheart and drive off into the sunset Now i'm getting carried away Wink Wink.
