Just to clarify for others, don’t tell your employer your outside-of-work plans. Just tell them you’re taking the day off. It may lend your time off “request” more legitimacy when you say it’s for a wedding or whatever, but that takes away from when you don’t give a reason. It also opens up your plans to judgement. If they press for a reason, just say it’s personal.
I always just said “im taking this day off”. Never ask if you can take it off. Tell them what you’re doing so they can plan around it.

Thank you, that’s exactly what i meant. “Tell them what you’re going to do” just means tell them you’re taking the day off.
I appreciate the clarification. I see that how i worded it could be mistaken.
100% absolutely.
