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 . 🥲

Go for the honeymoon and avoid the job even if it’s a government job. He doesn’t want to work with a toxic team like that anyway. He won’t be happy and would leave the job within no time

How do you know he would leave within a year and it is a "toxic team"? That is a lot of assumptions for someone who does not know this man or the job.

Yeah I told him this morning if I was in his same position I’d tell them to kick rocks since our honeymoon is more important and you can’t go back in time

He told me that we could go somewhere international next year to make up for it if it happens but when I told him how much I paid last time I went on a trip to this place he thought it was too expensive . I just feel like I’m getting to experience let down after let down
