I want to buy a ham for a wedding but I don't want to risk having it come late and plan to buy it early. I'd like to know how I have to keep it til the wedding day.

The best way is to keep it on the ham holder in the kitchen with nothing else. Once you start slicing put a little fat on top of the cut part to keep it from drying out or losing flavor. There's some tips here on the website.

Besides the fat, I cover it with a cloth to keep the dust off.

Most hams should be stored so that they are kept out of the temperature zone in which bacteria grows quickly. The danger temperature zone is a range between 40°F and 140°F. Fresh ham and cured ham can be stored in a refrigerator for several days, depending on the type of ham. If it is not going to be used within the recommended time, it should be frozen to prevent it from perishing. Leftover ham should be wrapped tightly and refrigerated as soon as possible. Do not leave the ham at room temperature for more than two hours. If it is not going to be used within four days of cooking, it should be frozen.
