Time out of infant school for family wedding?

My DS is due to start at infant school next September - he's my elder [older?] child, so I have no detailed experience of how primary schools work now.

We have just found out that DH's only sister [the only sibling either of us have] has set a date for her wedding in mid September. It is a Friday, so DS will need to have one, maybe two days off school - only a week or two after starting.

It's not ideal, but what i'm wondering is...will the school be okay about it? I'm also wondering if anyone thinks it's likely to disrupt DS so soon after starting school. I'm thinking things will be fine on both counts, but if i'm likely to run into problems, i'd like to know, so that i can state our case to SIL. She wants DS [and DD] to be involved in the wedding too, for what it's worth.

All comments gratefully received, thank you Smile

prh47bridge, the OP's son was starting in Reception in September 2012.

The post that revived this references a child who is 6 and is likely to be in Year 1 or Year 2 if Summer born.

I agree that 2 weeks really looks like a family holiday especially if the wedding is in Florida.
