 "Boss, I'm getting married in 3 months. I need to take at least one day off for the service. I might be in late the next morning because I have to have all night sex to make the thing legal. Sorry about that. If you say no, I'm gonna have to leave the job because a wedding definitely needs the bride and my brother looks like crap in my dress, so he can't stand in."Just tell him, he's not an animal. Your wedding day is more important that any job. Your marriage should last 50 years or more, you may dump the job before the probation finishes.Just tell him your getting married, thank him when he gives his congratulations, tell him how many days you need off, and thank him and the other staff for the cards and presents that they will eventually send.Get your priorities right.. your marriage comes first, stuff the job.

Trust me, your boss will probably work with you on it, so don't stress about it. It's your wedding. You might not get paid, but usually they understand that you have other things going on in your life other than work. You should let him/her know asap, they'll appreciate that you gave them ample notice. However, if they did ask you BEFORE you got hired if you'll be needing any time off and you told them, "No" then they might be a little annoyed; otherwise, for all they know you got engaged Valentine's weekend and you set your date in about 3-months from now ;)

Of course your wedding is important and your job is also but not as important. So tell your manager as soon as possible. That way he/she should respect the fact that you have told them regardless to whether they will accept your situation or not. The longer you leave it the less reliable you may come across. And if you are worried about loosing your job, my advice to you is to reinforce your contract towards your manager that way they can see that you are aware of consequences.
Good luck and I hope from my advice you seek the right out come that you are looking for.

 So you're getting married when the 90 days is up? Or are you wanting unpaid time off, say week(s) to get ready for the event?
Talk to your boss, and see if they will work around it.
