My wedding is tomorrow and I can't believe I woke up with...

...A cold I can feeling it coming on, scratchy throat, dry sinuses, all the tell tale signs that I'll soon be dealing with a full blown cold.  This certainly won't ruin my big day, but it's not ideal either.  Do any of you have some sure fire ways to deal with colds that I can put into action tomorrow?

Cold meds and hydrate!  Drink tea and relax.  Rest will help you feel better.  I'm sure you will have a fantastic wedding day!!!! Congrats!!!!!

Get some occicilium at a health food store. Drink lots of fluids and get as much rest as you can. And take vitamin C.

Honestly I'm a believer in hot toddys. Toddies. Toddyieses.

Heat up some cider and pour some hot whiskey or brandy in it. You will pass the hell out, sweat like a pig, and wake up in the morning needing a shower and being fever-free.

I swear by schmearing my chest with Vick's VapoRub and a decent shot of Jager at bedtime.  Breathe in any type of mentholated steam.

Cold-Eze.  Comes in a cough-drop form, possibly liquid.  They're over the counter; if you don't have them near you, vitamin C and zinc.  That's basically what the cold-eze is; something about the combination of zinc and C works wonders.

Thanks for your advice ladies!  I had no voice by the end of the wedding and I'm REALLY feeling the cold today, but I managed to walk down the aisle without blowing my nose 20 time

My wedding is in 5 days and I have a terrible cold too! FH had it last week and it only lasted 3 days. He told me not to worry, I would be over it in a few days and today is day 3 and by far the worst. No sleep, hot sweats, can't breathe, coughing so hard I gag.

I've been hitting meds, water, Gatorade, OJ and hot tea like crazy and nothing is helping...

My wedding is in 6 days and I'm starting to feel sick today, too! Ah, what is with this?! My best friends right now are sleep, water, Zicam, and vitamins.
