Yiikes! Poor girl!!
If it were me I'd go forward with the wedding but plan an aftershoot for when you're all healed up so you can get some beautiful pictures sans nose cast!
Ohhh No!!! Can you take the cast off for the wedding an how swollen would it be? I agree with you and would hate to have my wedding pictures of me with a nose cast but changing your wedding date is going to be a huge headache especially this close. Are your vendors, venue,etc. still available in a couple of weeks? What about your guests, are any out of town? Are you having a large wedding because you will need to notify everyone? And since you are within 2 weeks of the wedding, isn't your wedding fully paid for?
No, I would recommend that instead you call your photographer and see if he or she can work a deal for you so that you can have bridal portaits and a session with your husband done after the wedding.
I would talk to my doctor and see if there is any chance of having the cast off early and how much damage there would be.
OMG, that is awful and what horrible timing! If this happened to me, I wouldn't cancel the wedding because it would be a logistical nightmare.
And there is no way I would wear the cast to the wedding. I wouldn't care what my doctor says, I'd take it off, hire an amazing makeup artist and cover it all up!!
@TwinkleToesJMU: Oooo TwinkleToes, that is what I was going to say. Let the artist do his/her work and then see if you can have a shoot after your nose is all healed so that you can do the close-ups. What a great story you'll have! Get married, girl!
Agree with the previous posters -- go through with it as planned. It's be such a waste to change it at this point, as long as you are physically up to it. Definitely see if you can schedule portraits for later. I am sure your wedding party will understand. Sorry you have to go through this!
Oh no I am so sorry! I would have to agree with twinkletoesjmu! Take some photos with your HUSBAND (YIPEEE) and your dress at a later date, but take off the cast and cover up the evidence the day of, but to prevent any damage I would put it back on right away. I am so sorry, but CONGRATULATIONS!!
OMG
Like most of the other bees- I say go forward with your original date and plan a photo shoot for a later date (think: you get to wear your dress twice!).
Take it easy until your wedding day, I mean REALLY easy to minimize swelling and bruising. Lean on the people around you to get errands/last minute details taken care of.
Good luck!!
The cast won't be able to come off early. My doctor wants the bones to heal properly to avoid any futher damage to my septum. She said there is a small possibility that I may need a septorhinoplasty in the future if it doesn't heal well. The procedure I had yesterday wasn't really a surgery. I was put under so the doctor could realign the bones with forceps and other tools without making an incision. The procedure is called closed reduction of nasal fracture. My nostrils are currently packed with gauze that was soaked in antibiotics and other pain meds to prevent infections. This packing won't come out until Monday. Luckily I don't have a lot of brusing my left eye is a bit black. My mom, sisters and bridal party are now taking care of everything. My bachelorette party which was supposed to be tomorrow has been canceled and several friends will come over and visit me while I'm recovering.
Thank you all for the suggestions about the portaits being taken at a later time. I didn't think of that.
Oh you poor woman! That majorly sucks, but I think you should go ahead and get hitched! People have probably already made plans to come into town (maybe?) and you probably have lots of money down on the vendors. If you delayed it, you might miss celebrating with important folks!
You can have a great time at your wedding, look beautiful, make lots of nose jokes (could you ask people to sign your cast? Guestbook!) and then have another photoshoot in a month or two.
Gah. Talk about bad timing. Not that it's ever a good time to break your nose! I hope you feel better!
That sucks, that's all there is too it! But I agree, I think you should go ahead with the wedding, and work out something with your photographer so that you can take nose-cast-free pictures after you've healed.
lol My fiancee has made some jokes about my nose. My fiancee is a pediatrician and he was allowed to be with during the procedure yesterday since it was more of a bone setting procedure. He even made jokes about the cloth turban they put on my head during prep.
I am going to have to vote no on this. This is something that you can laugh about later, besides makeup and the power of photoshop I am sure can help you out greatly. I am sorry you're going through this...((HUGS))
After the wedding pictures are so much fun! You're not so worried about getting your dress dirty and you can get some really creative shots. I hope your nose feels better and good luck with the wedding.
I would agree with the others and just embrace the situation and go with the wedding as planned.
I once saw photos of a bride who broke her ankle and had it casted up a DAY BEFORE her wedding. She has to use crutches and wear the boot thing, but she obviously had to move forward the wedding anyway.
The nose is different though because it's easier to hide your foot in photos. I feel horrible this happened, but as others have also said, an after wedding shoot is in order for you, my dear! Just embrace it, make jokes and enjoy that you're marrying an amazing man :)
Update
I just got back from the doctor awhile ago. The gauze packing that was in my nostrils was removed. She said that I'm healing ok but my septum seems to be deviated which means I will likely need a septoplasty in a few months. So far the brusing on my face has gone down a lot. My doctor has told me that I will have to wear button up/zip up shirts to avoid bumping or injuring my nose. She wants to me to take it easy at the reception. So I will only be able to dance a few times.
This is probably a time when I wouldn't listen to the doctor's advice. I would also seek a second opinion if you haven't already. If you're going to have the septoplasty anyway, I would take the cast off, get an awesome makeup artist to do some magic, and enjoy the reception as much as possible, including dancing, unless it caused me pain or something. Even then, I'd probably just have a drink or two and keep going. I think this just depends on how risk adverse someone is. I cut a cast off my wrist after 3 weeks so I could go to prom cast-less (was suppose to have it for 6), and it was fine. Some people just wouldn't be comfortable with that though.
I would still go forward with the wedding. If it were me I'd probably ditch the nasal cast for the day, just because I am vain like that.
Scheduling an aftershoot for additional photos is a fantastic idea too.
As my husband would say, "That's real life!"
I would keep the cast on, make jokes about it and have fun marrying the love of your life and hanging out with all your friends and loved ones. Maybe you could get a big red foam nose, or you and your husband could take pictures in those Groucho Marx glasses-and-nose things.
I can't imagine what it's like to have such a huge wrench thrown into your carefully laid plans. But I think the way you respond will speak volumes to the kind of life you're going to lead...this is just the first opportunity of many to handle life's obstacles with good humor and a can-do spirit.
May a broken nose on your wedding day be the worst thing that ever happens...
Update please! Did you go through with the wedding? Cast and all? Let us know!

Hello,
As you can tell from my user name I have a broken nose. I broke my nose last Wednesday and yesterday I had to have my realigned while under anesthesia. I have a cast on my nose that will have to be on for three weeks my wedding is scheduled for next Saturday. My fiancee and I are debating changing the date but it would cost us. Please share any advice. I do think I could deal with wearing nose cast for the wedding but I dread having pictures of me with it.
