“My childhood dream has always been to beat the Guinness World Records title for the longest wedding veil,” GWR quoted bride Maria as saying.

To create the veil, Maria purchased 7,100 m (23,294 ft) of rolls of tulle with a width of 1.8 m (5.9 ft). According to the GWR, a company in Greece took 3 months to create and deliver the rolls of tulle to the city of Maria, Larnaca. Professional tailors have assembled all the pieces by hand to create the complete bridal veil.

One user wrote, “May her marriage be as long and even longer than her beautiful veil! while another jokingly commented: ‘If she could hold it a bit off the ground… It could have been a big tent for the guests!’
