Answers:
Relax!.!.!.your body won't retain the laxative that long!. It will drain out, along with everything short of your brains (you'll see what I mean about 8:00 pm) The enemas will complete the process in the morning!.

I wouldn't worry about the wedding!. Just eat something so you don't faint before the wedding!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
