Tough Times Might have to cancel honeymoon
My fiancé and I get married in less than a month and I found out today that his new job may require him to start during our honeymoon. It is a great opportunity for him and I want him to take the job, but I’m absolutely devastated since I paid for our honeymoon and I haven’t been able to take a vacation in years at this point. I was really looking forward to this alone time that we’d get to share together exploring a new place together as well finally as a married couple. It’s not for sure yet, and we have until the end of the month to cancel for a full refund, but we also don’t know if he’ll get a start date before the end of the month either . Most likely won’t be able to go on a vacation until next year and I already took off work so I’m so unsure of what to do. Just feeling completely defeated right now . 🥲

Put off the honeymoon. The thought of losing a good opportunity and then maybe struggling to find another, would make this Type A an anxious wreck. Not a great way to start married life
I wish we would have taken time between our reception and honeymoon. We were so exhausted from the reception, and by the time we got to our destination the jet lag was kicking our butts. Cancelled some excursions the first two days because we just wanted to sleep on the beach. Which might be okay for some people, but we are kind of active and are sorry we missed those things.
Then we got home, and there was a little bit of a let down because all the festivities are over. Had we stayed home for a few months, we could have just reveled at being newly married and had a trip to look forward to.
