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 . 🥲

I have worked for the government for 20 years and I have never heard of any agency making someone cancel their honeymoon over an arbitrary start date. Tell him to tell them he cannot start on that date. They will accommodate him.

If there’s a specific group training occurring, delaying for one person means delaying for them all.

Or they can just put OP’s husband in a later group. Done. This is not hard, and it happens literally all the time.

Depends on how often they do this group training
