Interviewing for job, but getting married in 2 months

    Hi
    I applied for a really good job recently, not expecting that i would actually get called for an interview, but I have :)
    Problem is I'm getting married in a couple of months, and everything is already booked. I am going to be away for a whole month (including honeymoon).

    When would be best to bring this up...in the interview itself, or wait until I hopefully get offered the job and then mention it?
    I'm kind of worried that no matter when I say it, they'll get annoyed and feel I've wasted their time.

    Wait and see if you get an offer first.

    When they send you a draft contract, you can ask to change the starting date.

    I was in a similar position a few months ago. I told them after the second interview and the feedback from the manager was that it was a very nice thing to do but if it was him, he would have waited for a job offer. I still got the job though.

    Go for the interview and see how you get on. I had a similar predicament but was 8 months before the wedding. I told them at the end of the second interview, he told me later that they were all impressed I had told them, showed loyalty bla bla bla and I got the job

    I' would wait until you got some kind of an offer and a contract and let them know then unless they ask something in conversation at the interview where you might need to bring it up. If you doing a 2nd interview then yes bring it up then.
