Honeymoon is cancelled

I'm so bummed! I just found out that the honeymoon we were planning is off. My FH's boss and wife had offered to pay for it, and we were floored and very appreciative. It wasn't a crazy week long honeymoon, just a couple of days here in Michigan at in a town called Frankenmuth. It's year-round...

I'm so bummed! I just found out that the honeymoon we were planning is off. My FH's boss and wife had offered to pay for it, and we were floored and very appreciative. It wasn't a crazy week long honeymoon, just a couple of days here in Michigan at in a town called Frankenmuth. It's year-round Christmas town, Hallmark is actually filming one of their Christmas movies there.

Not sure why but his boss backed out. We know it's not a financial thing, he's a millionaire. He didn't have to offer in the first place, we didn't ask for it, in fact I was even researching the most affordable places there to not cost them an arm and a leg. His wife was mad at him for it.

So no honeymoon. We can't afford it. We can't even afford a room for the wedding night. We didn't have that in the budget once we though it was taken care of. I just wish he wouldn't have offered. So my wedding night will be spent in my dinky apartment Smiley sad

    Oh no. I am so so sorry. That’s awful , of them to offer them back down. Maybe you can raise the money? Maybe have your Bridal shower gifts go to your honeymoon ?!!

    I wish I had friends or family who would that for us. I don't though. I'm the friend who does that for other people, but when it comes to me i'm left out.

    We talked about it when the boss cancelled, but with him missing a bit of work for being in the hospital we just don't have it in the budget. I wish I knew of a friend who would do that for us, but I can't even get anyone in the bridal party to help me do anything.

    I'm so sorry that happened to you two. That's so unfair! That's a lot of money to be out. I wish the business trip could have been more romantic for you

    He won't have the vacation time then. He only has a few days he can use and the boss is still making him take them at our wedding. We discussed going another time, but the boss said no.

    What about a night at Red Roof Inn? They’re like $50 a night and very comfortable, clean rooms, we’ve stayed there before. Could you sell something or pull the money from another part of your budget?

    I wish but no. My fiancee is the type who only pays stuff in full, so what we have to spend on something gets spent right away. Unless we get money at our reception, which i'm not really expecting, given knowing our families, we don't have it.

    Thank you. We hadn't really expected to have one, thought we'd stay a night someplace, but then they offered and we used the money for something else in the wedding and got excited.

    I am so sorry that happen to you guys !! That’s so terrible for him to back out with no reason! If it was going to be that simple for him to do that then he should’ve never offered something like that . I understand canceling honeymoons . We had to cancel our wedding and our cruising ship honeymoon .canceling our wedding felt like a nightmare and it sat on the pit of my stomach for days . Honestly now We have more wiggle money and I don’t feel as stressed all the time . We are just going to do a small courthouse wedding with family and a dinner afterwards . Then for our honeymoon we are going to go to the cabins in TN . I really hope you guys can at least stay in a room wedding night even if it’s something on the cheaper end . You guys deserve time together to reflect on your day . This wedding period can mean sacrificing for some but at the end of the day we all get the reward of starting our new lives with the love of our life. 😍😍 try not to let it get you TOO down but it does suck though I understand .

    We're about 88 miles away. I suggested that to him, but he's so upset about it all i'm not sure he'll want to. He really thought we'd be there a couple of days. He has a bad leg, and figured we could do a few things each day and then go back to the hotel to rest. I'd be willing to do that, just not sure he is

    About 88 miles away. I suggested going there for the day, but he just shrugged and said nothing. He's really upset. He works really hard for his company, and he felt like they were a family..

    If it makes him feel better I have a back injury and FH walks with a cane, they have benches every few feet because people come there just to have picnics. We had to sit a lot but it was a lot of fun! I hope you can convince him to give it a go. It might cheer him up. If you can swing it they have cheap hearty dinners too.

    It was my dream location. Hopefully one day. I'm turning 50 just before, so we were looking at it as celebrating that and our wedding

    You should go for Easter one year too!! It was all decked out in easter eggs! That’s when I took my parents, they were in awe.
