what is the right thing
My fiance is seeking employment and on Thursday he lost his job. We are getting married Oct 13th and he had requested Oct 13-16th off which was approved. Now he lost his job and if he gets an interview before this date what should he say? We do not want to blow any chances of him getting hired. Please help!

He doesn't have to volunteer that information ahead and best not to at initial interview. Remember, theres lots of people unemployed and sometimes many for the same position. So he will not want to distract them from looking seriously at his qualifications as an employee because of 4 days leaave without pay that he requires.
He should wait to tell them until there is a 2nd interview or they are telling him, we want to hire you. Thats when he should tell them of the situation, if they really want him, then 4 days fora preplanned wedding should be no issue. Some employers aren't looking to hire immediately anyways and the job start date may not be for a couple of weeks due to their scheduling and needing someone available to train him if applicable.
People can be funny though and may rule him out at an initial interview just because of that and not look at his actual qualifications when he may be best prospect for a position.

It's a wedding. The vast, vast majority of employers are going to understand that.
All he needs to say is - I'm getting married. I can't work Oct 13-16th. No one is going to give him much trouble.

He needs to say something along these lines: "My schedule is very flexible but I need to have these three days off for my wedding." They'll understand. As long as he tells them in the interview that those are the only three days he'll need off prior to being hired.
