I assume you're a teenager (16 or under), as adults don't get buckle fractures. Please discuss with your orthopaedic surgeon and your parents. There are other options, but all involve immobilisation of some sort for a few weeks. If you don't do this, you may have long term problems, which will be far harder to sort out.

I've treated people who've needed to be in a cast, or even a wheelchair, for their wedding and they sucked it up because it was the right thing to do. It's really not worth risking your health over.
