Thought your daughter-in-law wanted a showy simcha?

The Telegraph is running a story about a Chinese woman who has broken the world record with a wedding dress 1.4 miles long.

The story says:

"More than 200 guests took over three hours to unroll Lin Rong's wedding train and pin on 9,999 red silk roses for her wedding, Xinhua news agency said.

Groom Zhao Peng said he wanted to challenge the current world record of 1,579 metres.

"Both the length of the dress and the number of silk roses pinned on the wedding dress can make history. But it doesn't matter whether I can successfully register it on Guinness," the 28-year-old railway worker from northeast Jilin province was quoted as saying."

Rachel Stevens ain't got nothing on you, Lin!
