train or no train?

I know it seems sacrilegious to leave a train bustled, but it's outdoors (but on a paver patio, still not clean).  I guess I didn't want a train to start with, but alas the gown I picked had one.  It looks very pretty bustled up in fact with a little hanging on the floor.  I don't want to deal with making it lay pretty while I say my vows or having to turn around with it or even pick it up for that matter!  I could be snagging up woodland creatures and trapping them under the dress.

It's LOOONG and lacy:


All bustled up with the sash on too:



The ceremony stairs and space (from a different wedding obviously):





WWYD?  By the way, FI and I will walk down the stairs together (a Swedish custom) and we'll have only two witnesses.

    If it's more easier for you, do the no train.

    My gown had no train and I was happy for that! I liked not having to bustle it but I also had a cathedral veil so I got all my "train" pictures like that. I would leave it bustled most of the time but take it out for a few pics.

    With the stairs and the pavers I vote to leave it bustled.

    Ultimately I too would have liked a gown with no train!  But alas, I got a great deal on an lace Casablanca so that's how I ended up with this gown.  I thought I could just chop it off, but every seamstress I took it to looked at me like I had two heads and made me doubt my decision.  The bustle is actually quite pretty - probably prettier than if I had it chopped.
