In Italy it is the norm when a bride drives down the road or takes a walk through the sleepy Italian streets, for the locals to come out and shout best wishes and congratulations to her. Yesterday Elena De Angellis brought out the village of  Casal di Princice to cheer her on to her church wedding and to see her wedding dress...

No Elena is not a celebrity nor is she marrying royalty, but she was wearing a rather unusual wedding dress! 


With a veil 3km long this Italian Bride has broken the world record for the longest wedding dress. 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.
