World’s tallest man, Sultan Kosen from Turkey
has married a Syrian woman, Merve Dibo whom he described as the “love of my
life”.
Kosen, 30, who stands at a massive 8-foot-3,
got married to Dibo, 20, on Saturday in his native Turkey – the bride is about
5-foot-6 tall.
“I am the happiest man in the world,” he was
quoted as saying on the website of the state-run Anatolia news agency.
His 20-year-old bride Mervi Dibo, who hails
from the Syrian town of Hasaka, added: “I hope this happiness will be
long-lasting.”
The groom’s black suit was custom made,
requiring six meters of fabric, Anatolia reported.
Born into a farming family in southeastern
Turkey, Kosen won global fame in September 2009 when Guinness World Records
declared him the tallest man in the world.
