Rest, drink more water, and take some herbal cashayams that tonify your body (ie see your local Ayruvedic or Siddha doctor.) Congratulations! (I'm in Kerala.)

Kat's answer was great Very very informative. Follow her advise in all areas.
What I want to do is suggest you buy some Derma-blend make-up. You get 3 pots of foundation that can be mixed in any combination to match your skin color. You have three choices Light, Medium, Dark. Whichever you choose you have the 3 pots to use. And honey, It works.
Also purchase the Makeup remover they offer because it is specially blended to remove it. This make-up will last up to 16 hours without smearing or running. Also it will not smear on your clolthes as long as you set it with the setting powder.
Right now I have a terrible rash all over my face. I bought Derma Blend just to see if it would actually conceal it and not just cake up around it and have it still show through. Now when I wear it no-one can see my rash -- AT ALL! Give it a try, but you really need to get it soon so you can play around and make sure you like the way it looks. You can find this at many department stores. I personally purchase mine from QVC (A home shopping channel)
I wish you the very best with your upcoming wedding. I hope it is just what you have dreamed of all your life. I hope your love lasts forever.I don't know if you have a 360 page, but if you do let me know how everything turns out for you.

While foundation evens out your skin tone, concealer zeros in on tiny flaws, covering blemishes and dark circles, making it a must for any bride. It can make you look as if you've had eight hours sleep when you've only had five, and it can instantly brighten your entire face.Trade secret: A concealer brush -- a small, firm brush that comes to a point at the tip -- is especially helpful in reaching this area, and for precisely targeting pimples.
Pimples and under-eye circles are the most common concealer targets, but there are a host of other complexion spoilers that need covering: small scars, broken blood vessels, redness around the nose, the inner corner of your eyes. On your big day you should also use concealer to cover up small bruises or blemishes on your arms, chest and back.
Here's the catch (you knew it was coming, right?): Getting concealer to look natural, not mask-like takes a lot of practice. Use these tips for going under cover:
Smooth Selection
Concealers come in pots, sticks, wands, compacts, and tubes. But no matter which packaging you choose, look for a creamy texture, one that’s smooth to the touch. Avoid products that feel greasy, dry, or thick, or ones that have a chalky consistency.
Color Theory
The right concealer shade is yellow-based, not white, which can be much too light on the face. The biggest mistake women make with concealer is using too light a shade. Search for a concealer that is only one to two subtle shades lighter than your skin tone.
Apply Now
Start by putting concealer under the eye right up to the lower lashes and, most importantly, on the innermost corner of the eye. This is the most recessed area on the face, and therefore the darkest-appearing, but women often neglect it.
Blend Well
Smooth and blend concealer in a gentle pressing action with the pads of your first two fingers. The aim is to make it as smooth as possible so it isn’t visible or distracting. Be gentle, though -- you don't want to end up rubbing the concealer away. One of the most common concealer mistakes is overzealous blending.
Ready, Set...
To set your concealer, dust on yellow-toned powder with a big powder puff. Use a generous amount, because more is better here; simply dust away excess with a brush. The powder keeps the concealer locked in place, and the yellow tone does wonders for dark circles. For extremely dark circles, choose a heavy-formula concealer in a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone.
Now You See It
To cover a red pimple, use a concealer shade as close to your skin tone as possible. If it's a dark blemish, use a slightly lighter concealer. Using your concealer brush, dab on a small amount of concealer and set with powder. If necessary, add a second layer of each. And remember: It's okay if you don't achieve total elimination. The point is to de-emphasize. An overly concealed spot will only call attention to itself -- not the goal you had in mind.

I am assuming since you are in India that your skin is a bit dark, and I am sorry to say that dark circles are just part of the game for us women with darker skin.
Your best bet is to get plenty of sleep, and spend your time between now and the actual wedding finding a really good concealer, and learning how to use it properly.
I get dark circles from time to time, as well. Sometimes they are due to stress, or not sleeping well, but a lot of times they are for no good reason. If I have a special occasion where I need to look nice, I just use some good makeup, with a concealer underneath, and that covers the problem.
Congratulations on your wedding. I hope your special day is lovely. And remember, as the bride, everyone will think you look absolutely beautiful, no matter what :)

cucumber slices over your eyes while taking a long, hot, and relaxing bath, also, get some sleep and stop stressing! Relax you aren't supposed to be stressed you're about to get married! Happiest day of your life is awaiting you and you should be well rested, relaxed, stress-free, and careless. If you still have dark circles on the big day try a concealer. Congratulations!
