Fun fact: The longest wedding veil spanned 63.5 football fields
The Guinness World Record for the longest wedding veil was set by a Cyprus bride named Maria Paraskeva in 2018.
According to Guinness World Records, the veil was measured at 6,962.6 metres (22,843 ft. 2.11 in.) in Larnaca, Cyprus, on Aug. 14, 2018. As Guinness notes, that’s roughly the same length as 63.5 American football fields.
“My dream as a child has always been to break the Guinness World Records title for the longest wedding veil,” said Paraskeva.
