Also, declaring period timing by the days of the month, not days of your cycle, may lead to what looks like shifting of days. Right now your cycle is about 30-31 days long, if it appears on the same calendar day every month. This isn't a solution, but it's something to keep in mind as you calculate how to shift your period: your uterus doesn't look at a calendar. :)
If you're more concerned about bloodbaths than conception, keep in mind that there are ways to decrease the volume of blood, as well as ways to handle it. I've heard great things about people using menstrual cups on their wedding day and never having to lift up all the layers of their dress to deal with tampons or pads. People over on IUD_divas have used large doses of vitamin E or ibuprofen to substantially decrease their bleeding. If cramping is more the problem, cramp bark is awesome.
I know you want to not have a period at all on your wedding day, but those are pretty solid potential backup plans. (Though, vitamin E and ibuprofen need to be started before the period, and menstrual cups have a learning curve.)
My mom was miscarrying on her wedding day. It sounded pretty miserable. I can understand how you'd want to avoid even a period on the stressful, long and happy day.
