Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you can definitely fly and attend the marriage ceremony.
Flu is caused by influenza virus. It is infectious only in the initial part of disease.
Since you are improving in flu, no need to worry spread of virus by you.
Drink plenty of fluids orally, do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Don't worry, you will be alright in 1-2 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
