After almost giving up the search for a soulmate the world’s tallest man was married yesterday, having fallen in love with a woman about two thirds his size.
Sultan Kosen stopped growing when he reached 2.51m last year but on Sunday he was wed to the woman of his dreams in Merve Dibo, a woman standing 173cms tall.
Even though Kosen’s bride would be considered to be above average height, she barely makes it past two thirds of Kosen’s height, a fact the giant farmer did not see as a short coming.
“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,” Kosen told AA reporter.
In August 2009 Kosen took the Guinness World Record for world’s tallest man when he surpassed the previous record holder, China’s Bao Xishun who held the lofty title with a height of 2.36m, MSN informs.
