What do you do about arm hair?

I bleach my arms and have been doing so for years however for my wedding day the hair can't be there- what should I do?

ETA: I have very sensitive skin and i dont want to break out from wAxing

I personally have not even given this a thought, I met FH with arm hair, so why would I try to change that just for one day...(no offense to anyone who is worried about this...)
Yea I understand that some people may be afraid of it showing up in pictures, but even if it does your photog can photoshop it out...

I usually wax it but then my skin gets little bumps as a reaction from the wax. It goes away after a day or two but still I wouldn't want to worry about those bumps the day of the wedding.

I think I'm going to just use hair removal cream from Nair or Sally Hansen to remove the hair from my arms. I've used it before and it comes off smoothly and no irritation to the skin. Only thing is, is that the hair grows back faster than when you wax. But it's not painful so I would prefer to do this.

I'm pretty self conscious about my arm hair, so I'm definitely getting rid of it for the wedding and my engagement photo's. FH yells at me when I say I hate it because he says he doesn't care about it. But it's just something that really bugs me.

Veet
Wax
or Laser Hair Removal

Whatever you do try testing it out a few months before so you know how it will work on you.

Exactly. Try waxing now. If you don't have a bad reaction you can keep doing it every 2-3 months. If you do, then move on to the next thing.

i agree too, my arm isn't that dark and you can't really notice it, so i'm not going to care too much about it
