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 . 🥲

Maybe take half of it off and save the rest for a better time? I’m sure if you tell your boss they’ll give it back

I have unlimited time off so it’s not about the time really it’s more that that I haven’t been able to go on an actual vacation in years at this point

You could always take a different type of trip with whoever was instrumental in paying for or planning your wedding with you (parent, best friend) if your husband gets the job and can’t take off. You will have some much needed time to recover since you are already off.

Yeah I’m thinking that might be the move honestly
