pregnancy protection

I am getting married and want to skip my period for the month.  I was going to take my birth control pills and skip the week of placebo pills and just start the next pack immediately following the 3rd week of regular pills.  My question is am I protected against pregnancy?  Pharmacist says no, but I can't see why I'm  not if I don't miss any regular pills.

I have heard that is the best way to go. If you start the first week after your 3rd week. Unless you wanted to get set up on seasonall, with that one you only have 4 cycles a year. I haven't read about the long term affects it has though.

Hope this helps.
