This is absolutely horrible advice
He'll be on his honeymoon and will be looking to have some fun and make some memories. I can assure you that nothing is funnier than watching the reactions of Newfoundlanders when you explain to them that they are indeed Martitimers due to the fact that the Maritimes is a province, of which there are 4 regions just like Vancouver Island and the lower mainland are regions of BC.
One of the memories made may include a visit to an emergency room, but hey... gotta live on the wild side every now and then.
