Activity for Valerie

My wedding dress is a beautiful long silk A-line. Plain bottom, beaded top. I have always wanted a teacup length wedding dress. Should I shorten it? My friends all say go for it, but my sis says not to ruin a good thing. I am pear-shaped in case this...

So my wedding is the beginning of November and I don't know if I should wear nylons/pantyhose or not. I have close toed suede blue shoes and my dress will be silk and teacup length (mid-calves). What do you think?
