Vintage Dress Alteration

BEFORE
Shawn and I have been "married" to each other for a few years now. We have lived and conducted ourselves in a way that if Nebraska recognized it, it would be commonlaw marriage. In light of our upcoming legal marriage we want to make a stand with Nature that we were married first, before the State said so!
That being said, we will wake up around Dawn on Thursday, pack up and hike out into the woods we love. We are going to pack my vintage dress, an outfit for him, and his camera equipment. We have found a spot already that we wanted to get married at. It is so beautiful with a sunken in creek bed and trees everywhere. Once there, we'll change, take some photos and privately discuss what we only want the other to hear. Some stuff I don't think everyone would care to see us get all mushy over at the Friday wedding!
So what do you think of the vintage dress's real purpose now?
AFTER
Very understandibly my alteration lady is too busy leaving for her Summer trip to finish up the hem shortening. So being the HiLLjO, I did it myself!And what do you think of its new length?

    Thank you everyone! I was really nervous to cut it! Now it's a convertible dress so it can be long or short, too!
