sometimes, I think my life doesn't understand the concept of 'timing'

My older sister's wedding is tomorrow.  (Yes, the one who took me to Dallas and, therefore, is the reason I met Jensen Ackles.)

I feel like death warmed over.  My head aches, my eyes ache, I slept maybe one uninterrupted hour last night, my ears are stopped up, my nose keeps running, I keep sneezing out pieces of my throat... and I'm one of two maids of honor.  I can't not go.  Hell, I want to go.   I feel like utter crap, and have since Sunday.   I went to the doctor on Tuesday and got medicine, but I feel so much worse now.
 
Fucking hell.  I’m completely miserable, and we still have to travel an hour, sleep in the hotel, and stand on a goddamned boat for the service tomorrow.  I keep getting dizzy and almost falling asleep sitting up.
 
Send me happy, healthy thoughts, please.

Oh no, that's awful!

Nyquil usually helps me when I'm sick and can't sleep, but if you have medication from a doctor you probably can't take anything else.

A friend of mine was really sick when she was the maid of honor at a wedding, and she ended up getting through the ceremony, staying for the toast and then going to her hotel room and sleeping through all of the reception. :(

Maybe they can at least give you a chair for the ceremony. Standing up for the whole thing is hard enough when your not sick, it sounds downright impossible with how you're doing.

Good luck! Drink plenty of fluids (warm broth helps me) and take some vitamin C. Hopefully if you can work out how to get some sleep, you can make it through. *hugs*

Luckily, the ceremony itself was maybe five minutes long. The worst part actually was walking from the cars, through customs, all over the goddamned boat, and then to the chapel. That really wore me out.

And I slept pretty well the night before, once I managed to fall asleep.

Glad the ceremony was brief, hope you had a good time despite the illness! Feel better.

Thank you! The wedding went fine.

Good to know - they are stressful enough without feeling ill at the same time.

Thank you! I survived, and I didn't ruin her day by collapsing.

Why DO thees things happen at the worst possible times??? I'm so sorry! I'm sending you lots of strong healthy vibes to get you through it! Good Luck!

I got through it without ruining things for her! But I've made tigris_lilsis promise to arrange her wedding around my health so we don't have to go through this again.

Being sick on special occasions like that sucks. I hope you're feeling better now and the wedding went well. And congrats to your sis!

I feel worlds better, though still not 100%.

My sister was so excited and adorable. The wedding went off without a hitch.
