34 year old Samantha Clowe was desperate to look her best on her wedding day to fiancé Andrew Smith.  She was just over 17 stone and at 5’9″ she embarked on a crash diet.  She consulted with her GP before she started.  Over the course of just 11 weeks, Samantha lost 3 stone.

Using the popular Lighter Life diet, which restricts you to just 500 calories, she shed the pounds fast and put strain on her body.  Andrew came home to find his bride to be collapsed in their hallway.  Paramedics could not resuscitate her.  The coroner left the inquest as an open verdict, as it could not be proved her heart attack was connected with her doing the Light Life program.

So if you are desperate to lose weight before your wedding, you should do so sensibly.  It might take slightly longer, but you will keep your health throughout.
