"Both the length of the dress and the number of silk roses pinned on the wedding dress can make history. But it doesn't matter whether I can successfully register it on Guinness," the 28-year-old railway worker from northeast Jilin province was quoted as saying.
Zhao said he had sent an application to Guinness World Records and would also send a video of his wedding with his 25-year-old school teacher sweetheart.
"I do not want a cliche wedding parade or banquet," the groom said, "nor can I afford the extravagance of a hot balloon wedding."
But even so, his family was initially not too impressed at the far from frugal 40,000-yuan (nearly 6,000-dollar) price tag.
"It is a waste of money in my opinion," his mother said. "Though I understand that he wants to show his love on the big day."
