I think he was trying to escape. I'm sure it all depends when he planned the honey moon (most likely before they started, considering they came about in December '09) but still, you're employees come first.

Wait, what? Your wife is forever. Your employees, your investors, and your company are not.

Corrected. Yes, you're wife comes first. But you're wife would understand the dream you have been working on and make concessions to support it.

In my view, he had two commitments, his company (involving employees, investors and the journalists they signed) and his wife. Weighing these two are the question. I'd argue that the honeymoon could either wait or being shortened up even though it was probably planned first.

If you'll forgive a little nazism... please be careful with "your" and "you're". It gets distracting.

Forgiven. Looking back at my post today I'm surprised by the use of 'you're'. I'm typically a nazi about it myself.

Company - a good company - can easily outlive its founder and all his family.

I get where both you and the OP are coming from. But you have to admit that he could at least have properly scheduled both events. Maybe delay the launch of the site by a month?

Anyway, you both have valid points.
