On Wednesday 24 March I attended an event in Bucharest, Romania, organised by E-Mariage at which they planned to unveil the wedding dress with the most crystals attached. The dress was the creation of Cosmina Englizian, a Romanian designer, and E-Mariage had approached Guinness World The event was to be held in Constitution Square and was called E-Mariage Fest, an annual wedding trade show held in Bucharest. On my arrival I was taken immediately to see the dress. It was stunning, with thousands of crystals attached which glinted when they caught the light. It was immediately obvious however that verifying the exact number was not going to be easy!
Luckily, the designer and her team had already counted and recounted the total number, and had produced a plan breaking the dress down into sections. I went to work making spot checks on a number of sections to make sure that their counting was sound. After some time I was satisfied that the final number they had claimed was accurate. The dress had a total of 43,008 crystals attached!
I gave a short presentation to the organisers and the gathered press, at the end of which I presented an official Guinness World Records certificate to Cosmina, the designer, which concluded a very successful Guinness World Records attempt.
