I know we are entitled to 3 days of marriage leave. My question is, must this be taken in 1 shot or can it be spread out?

For context, I ROMed last year in 2021 (not planning to have wedding) during term time as I had to produce cert for my new house. Was supposed to take 3 days leave for "honeymoon", which is actually just 2 days local staycation due to travel restriction. However, even the hotel was designated as an SHN hotel during that period, so I literally only took 1 leave day for ROM only.

Now, in 2022, I'm thinking to using up my remaining 2 days marraige leave entitlement for the 2 days staycay that I am supposed to have, maybe next term. Can any experienced colleagues advise if this is possible in the first place, and of course, whether it's frowned upon? (I know it will be haha but I don't really care if it's my entitlement).
Marriage leave is not an entitlement. Unless you are getting married again, your SLs will likely not approve such leave. Imagine you do not take compassionate leave when your love ones passed on, can I then take at a later date and say that I am entitled to them? It will be really strange for the off/leave to be reflected in the relief plan and might even start this unwanted culture of taking marriage leave months down the road.
