Now would be a good time. First Gyn exam should be at age 18 or at first intercourse, whichever comes first. If you are going to use oral contraceptives, it is a good idea to have been on them about a month prior to exposure to pregnancy. Also if your period is due around the time of the wedding, it can be reegulated so that it won't be.
