An aerial view shows the length of the train of a wedding dress during a wedding ceremony in Jilin city, Jilin province August 6, 2009.

Quote:

BEIJING (Reuters Life!) – A Chinese bride is hoping to enter the record books after getting married in a wedding dress with a train more than 2 km (1.2 miles) long trailing behind her.

It took guests more than three hours to roll out the gown, complete with 9,999 silk red roses attached to it, in the northeastern province of Jilin, state news agency Xinhua said.

"Both the length of the dress and the number silk roses pinned on the wedding dress can make history," the report quoted groom Zhao Peng as saying.

Zhao, who has applied to Guinness World Records, said he was inspired after seeing a story on the previous record holder in Romania, where the dress measured just over 1.5 km.

"I do not want a cliche wedding parade or banquet," he said.

Bride Lin Rong "laughed and cried at the romantic gesture," Xinhua said.

The dress cost around 40,000 yuan ($5,856), which prompted initial opposition to the plan from his family.

"It is a waste of money in my opinion," said Zhao's mother. "Though I understand that he wants to show his love on the big day."

($1 = 6.830 Yuan)

She may also set the world record for biggest bustle ever.

Has anybody ever asked her to get a life? Other than doing world records? I mean why??!

^^ If you read the article, it wasn't her idea ... it was the groom's.

Wowza.. the dress was only 5.8k ? I'd say that's a deal on fabric alone !

Who would even care about a World Record like this!?!

So, the bride had to walk 1.5 miles in order to unfurl her wedding train? I would think she'd be so tired by the time she got to the altar... men and their crazy egos!
