'Swine flu, I do': Ilana Jackson, left, and Jeremy Fierstien wear surgical masks, and remain 10ft away from guests during their wedding in Chicago

[size=1.2em]A couple diagnosed with swine flu 48 hours before their wedding ceremony were determined not to let it ruin their big day - so they wore matching surgical masks and latex gloves.

[size=1.2em]Jeremy Fierstien and Ilana Jackson, both 26, decided to proceed with the ceremony after doctors assured them guests would not be put at serious risk.

[size=1.2em]To be sure, they also stayed 10ft away from friends and family at all times, even walking around the gathering instead of down the aisle at a synagogue in Highland Park, a wealthy American town on the north shore of Chicago.

[size=1.2em]Mr Fierstien said they were in for a shock after visiting the doctor's surgery.

[size=1.2em]'The doctor said: "It's not going to be the wedding you wanted. You tested positive for swine flu. Give me a call if you have any questions",' he said, [size=1.2em]suspecting he contracted the flu while traveling to Chicago from Boston, where he has been studying to become a rabbi.[size=1.2em]

[size=1.2em]'We were determined to make the most of a bad situation.' [size=1.2em]Even when the bride's hairstylist and make-up artist refused to touch her, Ms Jackson was upbeat.
