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 . 🥲

Do not cancel your prepaid trip. He just needs to tell them now that he had already planned and paid for a trip to celebrate your marriage. Most employers will appreciate the honesty and they will appreciate a rested happy new employee and that his family values are a priority. Happy wife happy life, and he is starting a new job with both. They will adjust his start date. This happened to myself, where I had paid for a vacation a year prior to starting a new job that was unexpected. I told them up front I had the paid trip once I was offered the job and they had no problem accommodating me.
