Possible STDs

Hello,
I am 31 years old sexually active male with women. 4 Months ago I decided to get married and wedding is in December.
I had unprotected oral and protected vaginal sex in APRIL before I decided to get married.
Then I recently had my bachelor party in SEPTEMBER and I had unprotected oral sex only.
Which STDs I should get tested for and what would be the window period for each one of them?
I am really scared as my wedding is in December. I am having super anxiety as there are other lives involved now. Please guide and help.
Thanks

Thanks Vance. Again after 9 weeks, if all tests are negative, in terms of percentage how reliable are the tests for STDs that require upto 3-6 months for 100% surety. When I was asking about Herpes, I meant what type of test should I get to get a more reliable results in after 9 weeks? Also for HIV should I get RNA test for a quick result? Only reason I have been focusing on 9 weeks period is because I am getting married after 10th week. And I want to have a peace of mind. I know there is no 100% surety of some tests until after 6 months. But what does statistics say about all test results after 9 weeks?

Thank you again.

Thank you Vance and Yoyo. So to summarize, I should get tested for all types of STDs in November (8-9 weeks from the possible exposure) which includes HIV, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Hep B (I don't remember when my vaccine expires) , Hep C. If all tests comes out negative, will that be a 100% surety???? What should I do to get tested for HPV and Herpes?

Thank you.

If he had only unprotected oral, then HIV is out of the question.
Chlamydia is almost impossible to infect from throat to your uretra.
Gonorrhea yes, one week would be fine, and syphilis 6 weeks (although check in some clinics they do PCR and have shorter times although is quite expensive).
Since you are straight, the chances of catching gonorrhea and syphilis are very very low.
Although since you are going to get married would be nice entering the marriage knowing you have nothing from previous encounters.
