When the honeymoon is over before it begins

We called in at a second-hand bookshop on the way home from Sydney and I overheard a customer telling the owner that ‘the wedding last weekend was beautiful – they’re so happy!’

The romantic in me thought this was gorgeous, til the woman added, ‘of course, they haven’t got time for a honeymoon because of work...’

Are workplaces really so precarious that an organisation will fall apart at the slightest sign of our absence, even for a honeymoon?

Or is it us that falls apart at the thought that the place might survive without us for a week or two?

Is time off really out of the question for this couple, or is it just not a question they're asking...
