I've been married *twice* with IBS. I don't have any good tips, really, because from what I've understood from other people's experiences, I was very much NOT a normal bride-to-be... meaning, I simply chose in the beginning not to get stressed, and I didn't. Even when the wedding cake showed up frozen solid and completely inedible. I actually *laughed* about it.
As far as the wedding day went, I took preventative imodium, both times, and I was perfectly fine.
The stress-relieving suggestions for dealing with IBS on a daily basis would be especially good to start during wedding planning: meditation, yoga, the hypno, exercise, whatever helps. Even going for a short, but brisk, walk is going to help burn off some nervous energy.
That's all I can really think of at the moment...
You just have to keep reminding yourself that the marriage is the important part, not the wedding.
And that nobody notices the little details that you're going to be inclined to fuss over.
And any family crap will happen whether you worry about it or not, so you might as well not worry about it.
And honestly, stuff WILL go wrong, but in the big picture, it's nothing. Truly.
(Tell you what... the guest of mine that took home 3 frozen cheesecakes sure was tickled! LOL)
