Hi!
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
Delaying the period is somewhat easier than bringing it on early. SO, my best advice to you is that you may want to postpone THIS month's period by a week or even two.  That way, with some luck (this isn't 100% guaranteed), you could delay next month's period for two to three weeks while you honeymoon(?).  Another option is to start taking your Primolut about a week before your wedding and continue it until you are ready to have your period.  This sometimes works too.  Again, not 100%
Good luck!
