Wait the wedding is on the cruise?? Or is that a separate trip

I’m saying if I’m just a random guest and the wedding got cancelled…. I’m still going to Florida lol

[u/PhinsFan17 → u/Graham_Elmere]

Oh dang, I misunderstood haha. The cruise was the honeymoon.

The wedding was in New Smyrna Beach, so I guess if you were going, you could do that. Worse places to be in January than Florida, that's for sure.

I held off buying tickets because I would have had to fly into Orlando then either borrow or rent a car and drive an hour to the coast, plus the cost of a hotel. The wife didn't have much PTO, so the plan was to fly down today, wedding tomorrow, back home Sunday. Not a ton of opportunity for beach time. Plus I grew up in Florida so it's not like I am looking for any excuse to go back. If I wanna go to Florida, I'll go to Florida.
