Usually, but no guarantee. Here in HT-18 we had a flight sked on MLK day, a federal holiday. Albeit limited, there was still a flight sked. All depends on the command and how they're tracking for the year.
It sounds like the best info on this thread is how P-3 guys and FO's get treated.
I can honestly say that I have never been in a command where they would stick it to a guy who was getting married and gave the command plenty of lead time of the chit. VT's HT's FRS and my current squadron have all been first rate when it came to things like that.

hmm...so you guys think that shooting for a "big" wedding during the middle of the summer, where there isn't the leave saftey blanket of Christmas, is kind of tough? I mean, I guess it would work fine if was a "in the day before" and "out the day after" but having time to do everything and actually having fun at it could be hard... that makes sense though since taking a bunch (like 3-5 days) of leave during any stage of flight training sounds like it would be pretty dumb, not to say probably impossible!:icon_tong 
Christmas break is probably the only time that you can guarentee a large chunk of leave, but be careful planning too far in advance....the dates for those leave blocks and the amount of days in them can differ greatly depending on how caught up the squadron/wing is on the training requirements. Last year I think the students in the squadron got seven days max. This year they got 11 days, but since half the students have to be available to fly in each block, the days were split up so that you either got Christmas or New Years, but not both. Something to think about if you are trying to plan to far out. The Stucon and OPs O's don't get know for sure what their leave blocks are going to look like until October at the earliest. Don't get into paying for a bunch of stuff in advanced, because if your plan doesn't fit the squadron plan you may be out some cash.
do a christmas wedding. That's your best bet for leave and you, your bride and all your guests won't be sweating your asses off in the hot, July sun.
OK... this brings me to my next question...
How's the leave policy (like leave not over a holiday) a training command? Is it like "maybe" or more like "hell no"?
My fiance and I set a date before I got down here (like when I thought I was going to a DDG and pretty much knew where I'd be at the time) and I kinda want to know the likely hood of being able to keep the date, even though it looks like I'll be smack in the middle of primary.
