i think you should allow a minimum of a month for everything and that is if it all goes well. 10 days is way too little time to get married and get evrything else done, in the mad rush there will undoubtedly be unforseen hiccups and any planned schedule you have will immediately fall out of kilter as everything will be so tightly packed, also they may call for an interview and you may not get 1 within your 10 day slot. the only problem being i am not sure you will be able to get leave from your employer for that long. in my case I had a good relationship with my boss, but even so he could not give me leave for that long, so i agreed that I would quit my job but that my place access to systems etc would be saved for me till i got back but that there would be no guarantee that higher management would not refill the vacancy. anyways I got married and applied for the visa etc, this itself took about a week travelling etc, I came back to the uk after we had applied as the wedding and passport for wife and then visa application etc had taken 6 weeks , and i was certain my job would get filled if i spent any longer. After applying it initially got rejected, we appealed and then rescinded the appeal for another review, then they had to do medicals and interview etc this all took in the end 4 months.
