Today, I started my period. I am getting married tomorrow. So, not only am I going to be on my period for my wedding night and honeymoon, my best friend has to help me change my pad because my dress is so big. FML

that's why you go on birth control so that you can use it to safely delay or skip your period. it's part of wedding planning 101.

It likes to come at the worst possible moments. This is going to sound gross but, if you and your new husband want to do the deed, use a female condom. And hey, at least you know your bestfriend is a true friend!

You people saying she should use a tampon. Do you not see the part where her friend has to put it on for her? I would rather help put on a pad than a tampon

Why aren't you on birth control?! To those of you who say that isn't something brides consider, you are wrong. That's something ALL my female friends who are getting married/got married considered. You can just skip the sugar pill week for the month you are getting married. It's not a big deal. That really sucks this happened to you. I'm paranoid about that sort of thing happening. lol

SOrry hun that is a serious bummer. I definetly reccommend using a tampon you can put it in before you get dressed and take it out after you are out of the dress. As for the sex the best way to handle that during your period is to be upfront with your honey and offer to do it in the shower. A) Shower sex is fantastic and B) Neither of you will ever notice! it is a win win!!

The calendar-it's your friend. That's why you chart that shit to know when it's coming for something as important as a wedding, or you go on the Pill. No sympathy here.

you deserve it. you could have planned & controlled the situation better. when this occasion comes up, you definitely take birth control to regulate & make sure this situation DOESN'T happen. if your period happens to fall on your wedding/honeymoon, you skip the sugar pills. i hope your poor best friend tells you the same thing when she's down there dealing with your bloody mess.

To the people who are treating this like she could have avoided it: I am on BC and every week I'm supposed to get my period, there's a four day window of when it can start. And then it varies on the duration. Sure, I might know what week I get it, but it doesn't mean I know when it'll start. Also, I did the whole delay your period thing as well. DO NOT DO IT. I suffered from withdrawl symptoms. And for those who are going to say "no way that happened": BC is still a drug. A prescription drug. And with anything else, you can suffer from withdrawl if you take it over an extended period of time and decide to go "cold turkey" so to speak. And, as an additional point to that: I still got my period, while I was on the pills. It was later, granted. But it still reared it's ugly head. I have no comment on the tampon/pad issue. I used pads for the longest time. I personally didn't like them, and now use tampons, but I know that some people prefer it to sticking something inside themselves. OP: I'm so sorry this happened. I hope your husband understands!

I really wanna know whooo the hell thought that this was deserved. It's not like she could have avoided it. That's just absolutely ridiculous if you clicked 'you deserved that one'..NO woman deserves that..major bummer. :/
