“NTA
You handle things your own way. Many people here (myself included) would opt to take the trip and flex the honeymoon to the next year but it doesn’t work that way for everyone.
This is a big inconvenience to your plans and there’s no workaround that you see as acceptable. It’s frustrating that he booked the trip when you expressed your wishes for your honeymoon, but it had to be with the understanding that there’s a chance not everyone can go.” – A tough decision for a dream honeymoon
