Hi Hive!
I know I’ve been MIA lately, but with only a week until my wedding, there is so much I want to share with you!
As you can imagine, the last few weeks before the wedding are filled with last-minute details and projects. And I had the perfect opportunity to tackle these tasks! My law school spring break was three weeks before the wedding–an entire week with no school, and plenty of time to tie up all those loose ends! Unfortunately for me, my body didn’t cooperate with my plan. A week before spring break I came down with a nasty cold. A cold that persisted and developed into bronchitis–keeping me bedridden during spring break. When I first got sick, a terrifying thought ran through my head: What if I got sick on my wedding day? I couldn’t even bear the thought, telling myself that I am sick now and getting it over with, so I won’t be sick on the wedding day!
And now, three weeks later, I am sicker than ever.
It’s been really difficult to muster up the energy to run those critical wedding errands, but by far, the worst part is that I am SO worried that I will still be sick on my wedding day! After over a year of planning this wedding, I am facing the prospect of the whole thing being derailed by a microscopic organism! Right now when I picture our wedding day, I see me standing at the altar and having a coughing fit while saying my vows! Eek! Aside from actually being sick, looking sick is equally as scary! We all want to look our absolute best on our wedding day—which is hard to do when you look tired and sallow!
So, learn from my mistake and take really good care of yourself in the weeks before your wedding! Here is a list of tips. They sound like common sense, but I wish I would have done all of these things when I was running around like a crazy woman three weeks ago! It’s so easy to get consumed with both wedding and other responsibilities and forget about taking care of yourself!
I know, they sound so common sense! But trust me, it’s so easy to get distracted when the wedding is just a few weeks away! As for me, I am off to the doctor. 
Do you find yourself getting sick when you’re super busy? What do you do to ward off illness in times of stress?

Feel Better Ms.Kitten!! All the wedding loose ends will come together… think healthy thoughts!
I always get sick when I take on too much!! Well not always, but everytime I get wick, it is always conencted to stress or overworking myself, so I can see how a wedding can do that to you!
Feel better soon Miss Kitten! I’m sending healthy vibes your way!
My best way to ward of illness in a time of stress is rest, rest, rest… I have to get my sleep
Feel better! (And stop reading these comments…. GET SOME REST!!!!)
Feel better!! Take the time to take your medicine, make some noodles, put on a movie and just lay there and give your body a break!! You will be better for your big day!! Good luck at the doctors too.
I’m so sorry to hear you’re still sick. I hope it lets up soon and you are feeling better in no time!
Feel better!!! Just sleep and veg out and don’t worry about the small things!
Feel better Kitten- I know you are going to look beautiful on your big day!
Feel better Miss Kitten! I hope the doc can give you medicine to make you well for your wedding, and TAKE YOUR VITAMINS! Vitamin C can be taken every few hours bc it is water-soluable! Airborne is great for this.
Oh no! I hope you have a speedy recovery and feel better sooner rather than later!
Oh Miss Kitten I’m so sorry. 
Here’s to a quick recovery!!!!
I’m sure with lots of rest you’ll be feeling better soon and your big day will be fabulous!
Yes, Miss Kitten, definitely rest up! (And maybe try popping an Airborne? It’s probably the placebo effect, but I like to think it keeps me healthy.)
Feel better soon! Drink plenty of green tea and honey and take vitamin C tablets! (the chewables actually taste good). Drink plenty of fluids too! Wish you a speedy recovery. This strain going around is pretty tough, take it easy and please get enough rest..that’s the only thing that worked for me in the end..
I am going to go to GNC and get (at T’s request) some liquid supplement called “wellness formula?” which looks like some greenish concoction but he hasn’t been sick in 2 years.
My son and I are/were down with bronchitis..Me for last 2 weeks and finishing up antibiotics and son was off from school all this week except for today. I’ve been coughing now for 2 weeks. My 12 yo niece talked to me over the phone and said “you sound RESCUSTING aunt Belle!”lol!
Oh no, bronchitis is no fun!!! Make sure you get lots of rest, as most cases are viral and won’t go away with antibiotics! I hope that you feel better soon!
I’m so sorry my dear! I hope you feel fabulous for your big day, it sounds like you are doing everything you can to get better.
Sleep sleep sleep! That’s really the best and only thing to do. Feel better soon!!
hope you feel better soon!! Get tonnns of rest..
Bless your heart! You are right-better now than later. I was married at the end of January, and to prepare my bod to fight the winter germs that were invading my office space I started taking echinacea everyday as well as drinking an Emergen-C pack in the morning and one at night. My fear was getting sick during the honeymoon-I always tend to get sick when stress and big projects end, but this method worked well, and I’ve remained cold/flu/general ickiness free! Get well soon!
