What’s REALLY the worst thing that can happen on your wedding day? It rains, the cake melts, the DJ has no taste, and your Mother gets in an argument with her ex?
So many things CAN happen, but from my experience these types of instances can be avoided with good planning and backup planning.
The one thing that can put a damper on your day is coming down ill. The last thing you want to do when you’re sick is have your picture taken, and have hundreds of people fuss over you. You want your wedding day to be FABULOUS and a wonderfully memorable day! Although you can’t control some illness, there are a couple of things you can do to prepare/prevent getting sick on your wedding day.
1. Don’t eat any “mystery” meats or seafood the days leading up to your wedding, and try to avoid anything that may have been left in the sun too long.
2. Drink TONS of water! This will not only make your skin look better, but will help flush out any bad toxins that may be swimming around in your system
3. Get lots of sleep. It’s tough to sleep when you’re anxious or nervous, but try some sleepy time tea or a gentle sleep aid to put you out.
4. Try to avoid getting too drunk the night before your wedding! There’s nothing worse than a hangover on your wedding day (not that I’m speaking from experience)! Same goes for the guys, especially! Make sure someone is looking out for their behavior as well.
5. Bring an emergency kit. Include medical supplies such as: Imodium AD, Pepto, Antacid, Advil, Smelling Salts, Visine, & Allergy medicine. Also, have a contact sheet with your doctor, pharmacist, and local hospital’s contact information handy in the case the symptoms worsen.
The chances that you will come down ill are slim, but following these precautions should help minimize the odds. Happy Planning, and Congratulations!
