Interview: Grace Before Meals post-rocking Shanghai
Around Shanghai: No more airplane temperature checks, but we're getting a Wall St. Bull and Linkin Park!

For most girls, the dream to have a wedding gown with a ridiculously long train that requires a dozen or more train-bearers remains but a dream, but for this lucky bride in Guiyang in South China's Guizhou province, that dream became a reality. Her 99,800 yuan ($12961) wedding gown comes with a 28m-long train that took 10 tailors 45 days to sew, and 20 train-bearers to carry. Now if you don't actually realise how ridiculous that is yet, Queen Elizabeth's gown was a paltry 13 feet long, and even Princess Diana's fairy tale gown was no match at 25 feet. More pictures after the jump.

I love how the people carrying it are wearing jeans t-shirts and sneakers. Velly Crassy.
爱情无罪，游街示众死而无悔！
How much will she enjoy that big dress when her hubby is off "traveling on business" to various KTVs around the country or "working late" at the local KTVs.
And of course since this dress is longer than the ones used by English Royalty, the new couple must be richer and more socially advanced than the queen of england.
Jesus Christ.
Pink and purple balloons. Monkey say bigger must be better la!
Since they're so rich, they've bought the rights to have 28 children. The long train was strictly practical for the impending glorious multiple births at the end of the line - 1 meter for each baby future party leader. What better way to show off your wealth and fertility than public demonstration?
WOW thats a freakin long dres. who would pay for a dress like that. certainly not me.
i would like to know the cost of the dress.its beautiful
China is where most wedding gowns are made today. Perhaps she works at or her family owns one of the many factories? This seems like it was some sort of marketing thing.
I think it is stupid, what is she trying to prove or say with that long of a train.
Just as long as they stay in China and I will be happy.
absolutely ridiculous.
