Wax underarms, legs and bikini line, get eyebrows tweezed as its not good to get them waxed too often as the skin can thin out. If getting waxing done for teh wedding you would be better off getting it done a few times before the wedding otherwise you will have double growth from yrs of shaving, it took me about 3 waxes to get rid of the double growth.
Its a bit painfull but take 2 painkillers aout 20mins before you get it done and while it might hurt a bit think of the weeks of hair free legs and underarms.

I ususally shave my legs, and underarms....
But everytime I go near bikini area I get loads of red bums, and spots
( I always use a new razor, and shaving gel, I also moisturise and exfoliate very regularly )

I use veet cream on the bikini area, and just shave everywhere else... I got the californian wax for going on hols and it was grand coz it was on the bone, but as soon as you go to more fleshy areas it get sore! :(

But coming toward the wedding, Ill endure the pain !
