Even when he got down on one knee, Bao Xishun was taller than his bride. With his 7 feet and 9 inches, Bao is more than two feet taller than his wife.

Bao Xishun, 56, a 2.36-metre (7-ft, 9-inch) herdsman listed by Guinness World Records as the tallest living man, married a 29-year-old saleswoman, the Beijing News said. Both come from Chifeng in Inner Mongolia.
