2 weeks to finish building muscle....

I was woken up with extremely sore muscles last night... (and a headache) I had to take pain killers as it was so painful (not into taking meds unless absolutely necessary).
I have 3 weeks until my daughter wedding where I'm wearing a strapless dress and are trying to get to the best I can for this event (of lifetime photos) lol
Currently, I have the next 2 weeks off before the big day. Then it will be full on I won't be able to have time for workouts which I thought would be good rest and building time. So I thought, work really hard 2+ hours a day for the next 2 weeks with maybe rest days on the weekend if I have to then rest the week before the wedding...
I have been working on getting fit and healthy since February and the last 2 days have really stepped it up from 1 hour to 2 1/4 hours with cardio and weights. I would like to look like my profile picture, I'm about 5 kgs away from it...
My question is:-
Do I push through the pain work hard and push myself as I wanted to or
rest up and when not so sore hit it again or
Go back to 1 hour sessions
Thanks in advance for your advise and support
