Olympic Size Wedding Dress

[LuzyC 0]

A Chinese man had a 200-metre long wedding dress made for his fiancee. A Ken says he originally planned to make the dress 2008 meters long, in tribute to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

"But it would have been too hard to make and to handle. So I changed the length to 200.8, and I hope the long train will bind us together forever," he said.

Ken, of Guangzhou city, placed the order with a local factory who took nearly three months to complete the dress, reports Guangzhou Daily.

"I was amazed to hear that he wanted such a long wedding dress for his fiancee, but I was quite touched by his sincerity," says factory owner Zhang Xiaoyun.

"It's 200.8 metres long, with 208 butterfly knots, and the tail is three metres wide. The whole piece weighs close to 100kg."

The couple had their wedding pictures taken at the Guangzhou Sunflower Garden, where workers spent nearly five hours helping them arrange the dress for the photographer.

How impractical. Arranged it for five hours just to take pics! I hope that train was detachable, otherwise it would have been a very long day for many reasons!

Yeah, it looks nice....well different, but who the heck would really want something like that? Try hanging that in your closet after the wedding!

I'm just imagining bustling that train. It would look like she was sitting on a pillow.

The things we do for love often are ridiculous...it's a shame though that it doesn't have some post event practical purpose...or maybe it does
