the wedding must have seen something to behold, with the 7ft 9in groom towering his 5ft 6in bride. bao xishun, the world's tallest man,is back in the news for his wedding to xia shujuan, a 29 year old saleswoman, after seeking a bride through the personal ads. the efferts finally paid off after a long selection process across the world for seeking marriage. the 56 year old mr.bao ended up marrying a woman from his hometown chifeng in inner mongolia who is half of his age and more than 2ft shorter. confirmed last year by the guinness book of world records as the world tallest person, mr bao was normal hight until 16.

That is a nice thing to see, I guess in his own country he is probably like a celebrity, I hope he lives a very happy life, I wonder if he will have extra tall children like himself, will be interesting to watch.
