First - get up from the computer, wash your hands thoroughly, wipe off any surface that you have recently touched (your keyboard? Telephone?), throw out your eye makeup (painful, but necessary! Eyeliner, Mascara, etc), and throw your pillowcases into the washing machine.
Next, call your Dr. and ask them to call in a prescription for antibiotic eye drops. THEN get two wash cloths. Soak one in warm water and hold it to your eye for about 10 minutes, then soak the other in cold water and hold it for 10 minutes. Alternate until it's not as weepy/itchy. Make sure you use only clean things to touch your face, and WASH YOUR HANDS - A LOT! You don't want your family/kids/future husband to get it too!
If you get the drops today, tomorrow latest, and start them immediately, you should be able to keep the green-eyed monster away and look lovely for your wedding.

Go to the doctor, the sooner, the better, they have simple eye drops, after the first day your redness goes away, at least you won't show your pink eye in pictures. Don't delay... Go to any walk in clinic if you don't get an appointment with your regualar doctor. It's not a big deal just a big nuissance.

Pink eye is VERY contagious, so go to a doctor right away. They will give you medicine that you'll have to take for a few days, and it should be pretty much gone by your wedding.

Go immediately to your family doctor. The eye drops he will prescribe are effective and will act quickly and probably be completely gone by Saturday, but you must act now!

Call your doctor; sometimes they will give you a prescription over the phone.
In the meantime, very hot compresses work very well in relieving the itchiess and pain.
It is contagious so stay away from your beloved until you have been on antibiotics for 24 hours. : (
Good luck !

Get to the doctor. They can give you this "gunk" stuff that will make it go away by tomorrow. You will still have to put it in for a couple of days, but it will not look all gunked up from the virus.
