World's tallest man marries woman 2 feet shorter than him

Ah love, it makes anything feel possible doesn't it? For example, marrying someone who holds the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest person when you're not that tall yourself. The world's tallest man has married a woman who is more than 2 feet shorter than him, a Chinese newspaper reported.

Bao Xishun, a 7-foot-9 herdsman from Inner Mongolia, married 5-foot-6 saleswoman Xia Shujian several days ago. Bao's 28-year-old bride is half his age and hailed from his hometown of Chifeng even though marriage advertisements were sent around the world.

In my opinion, I think the woman he married went for him after hearing about how he helped save dolphins by shoving his long arms down their mouths to retrieve plastics from the doplins' stomachs. That certainly makes him worth the climb, don't you think?
