They say it’s a day you should never forget – and that’s certainly the case for Italian bride Elena De Angelis and the village of Casal di Princice. She has broken the world record for the longest wedding dress by arriving to the church with a mammoth, 3km (1.86 mile) long veil. Elena is sitting in the vintage car as hundreds of people come out to help her carry the dress through the streets of Casal di Princice Hundreds of schoolgirls and their mothers turned out to help the bride-to-be along the streets of her village.
The Gianni Molaro designed cream dress, which is made from 6,000 metres of silk chord, is expected to be confirmed as the world’s longest by the Guinness book of Records. It’s apparently 28 times the length of Manchester United’s Old Trafford pitch and would take Usain Bolt running at blistering world recording pace almost five minutes to run its full length. Driven to the church in a vintage car Elena was applauded by the entire village.
The veil literally stretched for miles and had to be carefully collected by designers after Elena arrived in the church.
