What would you do if you would get sick (like flu) on your wedding day?

I think the best thing you can do is easier said than done: try not to stress out. Stress wreaks havoc on your body. If I got sick, I would load up on some day time theraflu and go on down to the chapel lol.

I'd suck it up and do it. I might have the pastor modify the ceremony to make it shorter. I'd buy every flu treatment CVS or what ever pharmacy is near by had!

I agree with trying to keep your stress low. Also, start taking one-a-day or another daily vitamin tab about a month before. Also, colds are mostly caused by fluctuations in temperature, more than they are the cold itself. So if it's a winter wedding, try not to be in and out of the house a lot.

Yeah....I think I would swallow a whole pharmacy lol

@Carmen: Good idea with the daily vitamin tab! Thanks for the tipp! My wedding is in May. This question popped my mind since I got sick now (due to temperature fluctuation) :-S

Ladylee - Theraflu is the only thing that helps me! It's like magic potion!

Drugs and lots of them I will not be drinking the water in Mexico before the wedding...and I'll bringing lots of imodium!!

You should be fine in May. Also, remember to stay hydrated and get sleep, since lack of sleep weakens your immune system. I have really bad allergies at the end/beginning of seasons.

@Sharon-I will be taking immodium BEFORE I even get on the plane to go to Punta Cana. LOL. Any time I travel out of the country it takes me a few days to get adjusted to the food.

Lol vitamins beforehand, and if theres anyone around you sick at all, carry airborne with you! med it up! lol. but if i got sick the day of, id get down on my knees and pray and pray and pray. and when God made me better, then id start getting ready! lol i know he would never let that happen

Honestly, I probaly would be so excited I wouldn't even notice, I would go through the day none the less

I got sick the week of my wedding. Went to the doctor for a shot of penicillin 2 days before the wedding. The morning of I was feeling a little better, but not 100%. The combination of advil and colostrum every 3-4 hours was like magic energy - I couldn't feel any weakness or sickness the rest of the day!

I work in an ER I would go and have the Dr prescribe me something to kick it as soon as possible.

Right now i am taking extra vitamins and allergy meds so i can keep stuff away...i have 8 days and being sick would not be cool at all..i think preventative steps are a great idea!

Thanks girls for the input! I will defenately keep it in mind! :-) and drug up myself ;-)

I didn't get sick....but I did get my monthly "gift" that day. Don't forget to bring extra meds/ supplies, just in case!

Try not to stress too much, eat healty foods, take vitamins and get plenty of rest. If you get sick and take meds, make sure you are taking non-drowsy formula on wedding day.

As long as you don't get food poisoning or something really debilitating, you should be fine. With the flu, you feel crappy, but you can still function as long as there are no complications and you're not in the hospital of course!!

Cold Fx x 7 days prior, plus vitamins. Oh and FH will be prescribed this by his "Dr" fiancee as well, whether he likes it or not! lol

I had morning sickness the day of the wedding could not eat at all. Luckily hubby drove out and got me 2 starbucks drinks (the baby likes starbucks choc drinks) so I drank those to keep my energy up and ate a bit that night

Just an FYI for all you stressed out ladies, there's this stuff on the market called AirBorne or something like that. It strengthens your immune system if you take it daily. It's just a tablet (like Alka Seltzer) and you drop it in a glass of water, drink up, and voila! It works wonders and will help keep your immune system kicking especially with all the stress!
