It's IMPOSSIBLE to lose 10 lbs of fat in 2 weeks. Scientific fact, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something. Even if you starved yourself and ran a few marathons, you can only lose 3 pounds of fat per week beofre your body goes into starvation mode, which will slow down your metabolism and cause you to GAIN weight when you start eating normally.
You can get close to that without hurting yourself, but it takes discipline. Cut your carbohydrate intake to less than 20 grams per day, which will make your body start using stored fat for it's fuel source. Exercise for NO MORE than one hour per day. Anything more will cause you to burn muscle.
You can also try to lose a little water weight in an emergency, just keep in mind that this is only temporary. Try cutting down on sodium from salt and soda intake to make clothes fit looser, but I don't advise the use of any diuretics, because they can cause some serious problems with potassium levels.

Not to point out the obvious, but didn't you know about the wedding prior th this? 10 lbs in 2 weeks can be done, but your chances of putting it back on are pretty high due to you having to use dieting practices to lose it, that you can't (and shouldn't) keep up long term.
Reduce your calorie intake (don't go below 1200 cals a day w/o a doctor's advice) and exercise 5 days a week...shoot for 2 hrs a day if you can (morning workout, and evening workout).
Keep up with regular exercise, and healthy eating afterward and it will greatly reduce the chance of you putting those pounds back on (and then some).

You'd make yourself very, very ill losing weight that fast. You wouldn't lose that amount of weight even if you ate nothing at all for the whole time. Might have been better if you'd started losing weight two MONTHS before the wedding, not two weeks...
By the way, is that A wedding or YOUR wedding??!

A few things ...
1. Get your heart broken really quick...
2. Sleep for 2 weeks straight. (Like take some Sominex or something..)
3. Eat 4 calories a day, then throw that up...
4. Let your cousin perform a Gastric by-pass surgery on you
5. Cabbage Soup Diet
For real, just burn more calories than you take in...

That much weight in so short a time? Cut off your foot.
Look, the best you can do is go vegetarian until the wedding and wear a girdle. I went vegetarian and the weight just dropped off - but not five pounds per week, that's just plain dangerous.
