Wedding Gown with 2-Mile Train Breaks World Records

You are going to need a lot of flower girls to carry this train down the aisle. "Romanian design house Andree Salon unveiled a couture wedding gown with a 1.85-mile-long train — a world record-setter. The train took 100 days to create, a spokeswoman for the designer tells the U.K.’s Daily Mail, and required the meticulous work of 10 seamstresses. It’s made of pricey lace imported from France, plus taffeta sourced from Italy." They hired a 17-year-old model to show this unique dress off.

Who needs an almost 2-mile-long train, I'm not quite sure, and the time and effort put into such a thing for a 17-year-old model to wear instead of an actual bride seems a little over the top. I can see how it would be cool to be in the world record slot of making the longest wedding dress train, but it seems like a lot of time and money for a little spot of fame. I do like wedding dresses and long trains, but a 2-mile-long train is probably the limit for any bride-to-be. The only question I have left is how heavy the dress is now and would you really be able to walk down the aisle?
