I (22F) got offered a Full-Time Job basically straight out of Training -- and then asked for almost a week of time off a week later. Did I just F*** myself?

So, I might have made a huge mistake, and I'm trying so hard not to cry, but I really need some objective advice. Sorry, this is a long one because I bable a bot, but I want to give all the details.

For background: I've been struggling to figure out what I really want to do since graduating college back in May. I joined a temp agency in November of last year after deciding to take a break from school for a year or so. I thought I wanted to do counseling, but idk anymore. Anyway, the local temp agency found me a job in January with a very successful local financial institution, and I started training on the 28th. It lasted 3 weeks, until about February 14th or so, and my mentor told me she hadn't seen anyone pick things up this fast before once I actually got into the feild. I honestly enjoyed the work once I got into it, and the people I worked it. It was a much healthier environment for me, especially since I was still working on my university campus, at the merchandise store, making $7.40 an hour.

I was just offered a Full-Time position at this financial institution (where I was already making $12.50/hr and getting paid every Friday with the temp agency, and this was already at 6.5 and then 5.5 hrs a day), because I guess everyone liked me and I was able to handle things easy or so, and I did a good job. I was honestly so happy because I was stressed out thinking about what would happen in April (when I thought my contract with the angecy was up) and what if there were no positions available, or if they didn't want to hire me. Anyway, they offered me this positon, with full benefits (Vision, Dental, Medical, etc), and I was so happy I almost cried and or course accepted it w/o hesitation.

Now, back in early Fall or so of last year, my boyfriend (let's call him Michael) and his best friend (let's call her Marie) were invited to their mutual friend's wedding. I was immediately excited when he told me, because I'm a hopeless romantic and I love weddings, so of course I wanted to go. Now, Michael has been trying to get this huge summer inter ship he's been wanting, so for a while things were up in the air as far as us going. It was basically a waiting game. Unfortunately he didn't get it, but that meant that he for sure could go to the wedding. Only, his and Marie's invitations both made no mention of plus 1s, so there was that problem. Not that it matters, but the fiancee's family (let's call her Tiffany), is very conservative, from Texas (which is where the wedding is). Of course, I was disapointed that Michael apparently wouldn't be able to bring me, but I chalked it up since Tiffany's parents were most likely shelling the money out for this whole thing. Anyway, Michael spoke to the groom-to-be (let's call him Tyler) and I am now actually invited to come to the weddig with Michael.

Now, here's the kicker, because so many things were up in the air, and I'm on a high, so I'm thinking this is perfect: i just got a full time job, let me go ask my supervisor if I can take time off for this wedding. 😑

My supervisor and I talked today. I've been anxious af about it because I wanted to be up front about it and ask for the time off while I still have wiggle room, since the wedding is in mid-May. She mentioned that the company frowns upon docked (unpaid) time-off, but things weere tricky because I am legally still under contract with the agency until June: I was told in the beginning of the process that the usual term would be 16 weeks/4 months, or about 480 hrs or so. Come to find out last week when I'm sitting with my supervisor's office trying not to cry because I'm happy that I'm actually wanted and valued here, that when we were on the phone with the agency, they said that my contract says I fucking owe them 720hrs. Like, where tf did this number even come from and why do I have to repeatedly call these peiple to find out new info I should have been given from the jump????? Now, this isn't even the first time the agency dropped the ball, because it took forever to set up my direct deposit, and I had to pick up my checks for about a month and a half. But I digress.

Anyway, I talk to my supervisor about going to the wedding. We set dates because I had Michael confirm the dates of the wedding. (We had talked a couple weeks of days ago about the four of us driving the 19 hrs to Texas because we don't have the money for plane tickets. And I don't have my license or a car, but by then, I should at least have my license, so I can help with driving). Since the wedding is on a Friday, I asked for the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of that week, and the Monday or the next week to rest from the trip itself. She said she would put it in, and 'we'll see if it'll work' (because remember, I'll still be under contract with the agency at the time, and she did mention that up to that point, since I started on FT hrs today, I'll have accrued some paid time off that can be put towards this trip).

Fast forward to later tonight, when I tell my parents, because Michael literally tells me in a text that I need to decide what I want to do and I can't back out because the couple needs a head count for the reception arrangements. So, I'm feeling a lot of pressure becaude I fo really want to go (and I know Michael wants me to go with him, we've been talking about it for months). So, like I said, I tallrd fo my supervisor, then my parents. My dad, as I'm sure any father would, takes this opportunity to tell me once again out of the thousnads of times he has said this, that I need to 'start looking out for myself' and stop trying to do to this 'destination wedding' when I just got this job. Who will take care of me if they decide to change their minds and not give me the job because they can use me asking for time off as justification for saying I don't care about the company, that I'm not worth their time and money? My mom already got on my nerves about this last night when I told that hurting wouldn't ask, and they keep saying it doesn't look good; my dad claims he's fired people for lying about time off and stuff, if he was my mangar he would fire me. That I need to sgop worrying about what eveyone else wants to do and that if Michael really cared, he wouldn't ask me to risk this job for his friend's wedding, that he would either volunteer to go alone or just not go, etc.

And as much as it pissed me off for him to lecture me about this (and my annoying fucking sister chiming in with opinions no one ever asks her for), I can't help but think he's right that that I've made a huge mistake. The institution can literally tell me tommorrow that they changed their minds. I would be devastated and feel like a fucking idiot, and then my parents would of course shove that 'I Told You So' shit in my face and it would just make thingsso much worse. I'm trying to save up for a car and get my finances in order, build up my credit, etc. Is taking time off right when they offefed me the job a stupid thjng for me to do? Should I be smart and just go back to my supervisor and say nevermind, or basically wait to see if they'll give me the time off? FML, why am I so stupid???? Is my Dad right? Please help me, I'm just laying here freaking the fuck out, you guys.

tl;dr I was offered a full-time position with after only and then I was so focused on getting the time off that I think I just fucked myself. Please help me, Reddit.
