Stephanie:
Relax!!! The bumps are just inflamed pores from having their follicles yanked out.
To pseed their disappearance, apply cool compresses with tap water for 5 minutes t5wice a day, out on bacitracin or neosporin ointment, and don't rub or pick the bumps, as they will delay healing a bit.
Hope you had a good time at the wedding. (Sorry I didn't get this answer to you till now. . . .)
