Ladies, are you reading this at work? A recent survey revealed that women spend 10 hours a week planning their wedding and nearly 30% of it is done at work.

Reuters reports: “Almost nine out of 10 women who took part in the survey confessed to using some company time to make wedding plans, but only a third believed that their work was negatively affected by it.”

The survey, conducted by ForbesWoman, The Knot, and WeddingChannel, asked just over 1,000 women about their workplace wedding planning habits.

“Eighty-nine percent admitted to planning their wedding on company time, while 20% of women admitted that more than half of their wedding arrangements were done at work. But, only 15% said that someone at work had commented about it.”

However, bosses proved to be sympathetic to the short-term distraction of wedding planning.

“Managers, who 43% of survey respondents say were supportive and understanding of their wedding planning, are willing to overlook a bride-to-be’s temporary distraction during the months leading up to her wedding with the expectation that post-honeymoon, she’ll be more on track then ever.”
