I'm guessing your asking how to avoid having your period be during your wedding and honeymood...right?
The ideal situation is to not do anything, and just let your period come, but I can totally understand not wanting your period that month.
Please, please, please make sure this is okay with your OBGYN first, okay??
To skip a period, you can omit taking the inactive pills (the one week when you would normally get your period) and just start on a new month's active pills. So in short, you skip the green ones (if yours are like mine) and start right in on the white ones.
This will make sure you don't get a period. It isn't really the best thing to do on a regular or even semi-regular basis, even though lots of people do it. (Lots of people jump of bridges onto cement, but that isn't necessarily a good thing either.)
If you take your birth control at the same time everyday (please do, within 10 minutes of the same time) you won't have any problems (ie, baby.)
Please just call your doc and make sure she knows what you're thinking, in case there are personal circumstances beyond my knowledge that could pose a risk.
Good luck, and congrats on getting married!! :)

Well......if you are on the pill...figure out when you are supposed to get your period....if you think it will be OVER by the 9th then just take your pills like you normally do and then you'll be able to really enjoy your honeymoon.
If it usually comes around the 8th or 9th, you should talk to your family doctor for sure about this one but I believe you may be able to take your birth control pills for up to 7 days extra to delay your period.....but I think it depends on what type of pills you are on so best to check with the doctor first.....
Good luck!

If you are taking birth control pills already you can use them to push back your period. Instead of taking the 'sugar' tablets for the week of your period, start your next pack and take them to push back your period. It is ok to do this once but don't make it a habit.
If your not on the pill, go see a doc and get on them and explain why.

I'm not sure what method of birth control you are on but instead of taking a week off you go straight into the next pack, patch, ring whatever you use and make sure you finish the whole thing then you have your period the next time your done.

Skipping the inactive pills and starting your new pack is ok... but you should never quit taking your birth control and restart... you just increase your risk of pregancy. I also wouldn't suggest changing the type if it is working for you, if you change your body will need time to adapt and it might make your cycle off. If you talk to you doctor they are usually more than willing to get you the extra pack you need.

If you are on the pill, just start your next cycle after your 21 birth control pills. Don't take your sugar pills. (If you are on a 28 day cycle, the last seven are sugar pills) Ask your doctor, they will explain it to you. I did it for my wedding. If you aren't on BC, I am sorry I don't know. Good luck.

Quit taking your pills a few weeks early and have your period before your wedding. Then a week before, start back on them. Just don't have unprotected sex. You'll have screwed up cycles for a few months until you're back on track.

if you take birth control pills, skip the pink/green ones that are inactive, and start right on taking the regular white ones again, this is what I do to not have my period

You can adjust it by taking the inactive ones after the honeymoon. Only take the active ones until you want your period to start. Ask your doctor if he can give you two sets so that you can skip it until you want your period to start.
