urkish giant Sultan
Kosen, who stands over eight feet tall, is almost three feet larger than his
new wife...
He world's tallest man has married -
and his new bride barely reaches his waist.
At
5'8" Merve Dibo isn't a particularly short lady, but next to her giant groom
Sultan Kosen,
who looms at an enormous 8'3", she looks positively tiny.
Turkish
farmer Sultan, who has size 28 feet, is almost three feet taller than his
blushing bride.
Sultan,
who also holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest hands and feet, said
he had given up on his quest to find love until he met Merve.
The
gentle giant said: "How unfortunate I could not find a suitable girl of my
own size. My fiancee is over 1.75 meters tall, but I believe I've found the
person for me."
The
previous holder of the tallest person honours was China's Bao Xishun who was
'only' 7'9".
At
the Guinness World Records show in 2010, Sultan got to meet his counterpart at
the other end of the height scale, the late He Pingping who was just
2'5".
