Today, I found out less than 3 weeks before my wedding my fiancé will lose his new, great paying job unless we cancel our nonrefundable honeymoon. FML

Well, OP, which will be most benefitial in the long run? It sucks that it's non-refundable and all, but you might be able to persuade them to change the dates or something.

don't be sad. just postpone the trip. either way, it feels the same to have sex at home than in Hawaii.

Just reschedule your honeymoon for later. at least you'll be able to afford it.

that's when you and your bestie go on your honeymoon!!

Go. Without. Him. Or better yet, make it a gift for your in-laws and go on one with him later.

this is completely your fault. did you never think "hey, most companies require me to work for a certain amount of time before i can start taking vacation days"???? that's just common sense and plain stupidity on your part. this is the exact reason many people get married BEFORE starting a new job

Some people plan marriages and honeymoons many months in advance. They may very well have planned it well with all the information they had at the time.

Enough with your sensibility. Can't you just say something extreme and not well thought out?

Granted, this sucks, but only a bit. If the job is that great, then it'll be worth it. It's kind of an early lesson in compromise. If the tickets genuinely aren't refundable, then why don't you just go yourself and take a friend or relative? OK, so it's not the honeymoon you expected, but it's better than blowing off the whole thing, and if you set about it with imagination and a sense of adventure, it could actually be fun. You've just set out to spend the rest of your lives together - there'll be time for Bora Bora later.

You're only supposed to have one wedding. It's pretty much inevitable you'll have more than one job in your working life. Also isn't it normal to tell a new employer from the outset about any existing holidays/similar commitments? And do you want to work for someone who would begrudge you your honeymoon?

give it too someone else don't be greedy

settle for some days in laquinta sex

If his job is that great, let him keep it and book another honeymoon, give this one to yours or his parents as a second honeymoon
