If you're on a continuous hormone pill, you get normal period symtoms and bleeding, but not at regular period intervals. If you're on a progesterone only pill, you get breakthrough spotting every now and then, and that's about it.
I don't know which one I'm on.  The brand is called Yaz. It has rows of pink tablets then a couple white ones- which are suppose to allow the period to come. I plan on not taking the white ones and continue taking the pink ones to stop my period from coming next month [wedding].
It's just that when I started taking it last week, I got my period in every sense but actually bleeding [bloating, cravings etc.] I didn't even spot. Now the time when my normal period would have been over, everything has gone back to normal. 
I was just doing the wondering.

i'm not sure about the whole period minus the bleeding thing, but i did the same thing you're planning on doing (skipping the white pills and continuing through to stop the period at wedding thing), and it really didnt work out very well. i spotted all through the wedding, and for another 2-3 weeks afterwards until i was told to switch again, after which i decided to forget bcpills altogether.
it was just too much of a hassle for me and i got frustrated by having to switch brands every month and by messing up my cycle which was absolutely PERFECT before i started... used to be it started 3 weeks on the dot.. now its just alllllllll over the place.
