Help,
Really need some advice. So I am a bridesmaid for one of my oldest friends and we had her hen do on Saturday. It was a lovely weekend but on the drive home on Sunday I was feeling very queasy which I put down to the cocktails the night before. Got home and the kids weren't right both with temperatures...by the evening we were all being sick. Definitely norovirus but a really severe case, I have never felt so ill in my life. It is now Wednesday and I still feel sick with diarrhoea, as do the children so we are clearly still contagious. The wedding is this Saturday and I am supposed to be going to wedding rehearsal and drinks on Friday. If I follow NHS guidelines to be symptom free for 48 hours that means I am definitely going to have to miss the wedding rehearsal on Fri but I'm hoping I will be ok to attend the wedding on Saturday (if I am symptom free for 48hours).....
I haven't told the bride yet because I don't want to panic her but I feel morally I should tell her we all have norovirus and whether she is even happy for us to go now? Or do I keep quiet- if I have been symptom free for 48 hours and just go and enjoy the day and therefore not worrying her and causing her any extra stress?
I'm also concerned that because I started feeling poorly on the way home from the hen do that there is potential that I could have already passed it on unwittingly to the whole bridal party before the wedding anyway?! I am praying none of them start feeling ill in the next few days....Imagine if I am to blame for ruining the whole wedding?! There was really nothing that could have prevented it, I had no idea the kids were poorly and I didn't feel ill before I left for the hen do. So if I'm honest with her now and tell her we all have norovirus but then she does happen to fall ill on her wedding day everyone will blame me and I just don't think I can handle that!
