Help! Getting married in one week...

I am getting married in one week from tomorrow, and am a virgin. Because of the busyness from the wedding, I forgot to take my birth control pill last night (Thurs) but remembered around 5pm on Friday and took it then. My question is this... Will this be a problem when I have sex next Sat, my wedding night? Should we use other forms of protection if I continue to take my birth control regularly until the wedding?? My doctor is closed until Monday, and would like some advice before then! Thanks

You'll be fine because you'll have taken 7 pills correctly in a row (you won't forget them, will you? ) and that's what you need to be covered. Check the leaflet in the pack if you don't believe me.

Congratulations on your wedding!
