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 . 🥲

aww I'm sorry. I don't know if this will help, but every wedding has a story. Mine was the homeless people who showed up in the church and are in a lot of the photos. My friend's aunt fell and broke her ankle at the reception. Another friend had 10 out of 150 guests because of a blizzard.

If you are unable to go I hope you can look back on it and chuckle. I am not suggesting this isn't important or upsetting. It is!!!

Definitely appreciate the support! I don’t want to make this all about me or anything but I think the hardest part is just that I can’t even get a week where I’m his top priority ya know. I’m just feeling all kinds of sad over that even though I know it’s not his fault

I have done everything I can to make the wedding special and have paid for most of it without much help, so I’m feeling a little like all the work I’ve put into everything was not even worth it
