The longest bridal wedding veil is 3,358 metres (11,017 ft 0.5 in) long and was worn by Sandra Mechleb at her wedding to Chady Abi Younis (both Lebanon) in Arnaoon, Lebanon, on 18 October 2009. The record was set to promote the Arnaoon Wedding Village, a popular location for weddings in Lebanon.

The oldest spider silk in the world dates from the Early Cretaceous Period, more than 120 million years ago and was described in the journal ‘Nature’ by Swiss researcher Dr Samuel Zschokke from the University of Basel. The strand is 4 mm (0.1 in) long and has tiny glue droplets which in modern-day spiders are used to catch insects. The specimen was recovered in 1969 from amber beds located near Jezzine, Lebanon but it was only in 2003 that their importance was recognised.

The oldest fossil spider trapped in amber has been dated at 125-135 million years old. It is from the family linyphiidae, and was discovered in Lebanon and analysed by David Penney and Paul Selden (both University of Manchester, UK) and announced on 26 December 2002.
