Erdos, Inner Mongolia, China. July 12, 2007—This tall tale is
true: The world's tallest man, Bao Xishun, and his bride, Xia Shujuan,
pose during their wedding ceremony on the outskirts of Erdos, in the
north Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Xishun, 56, is a herdsman who towers 7 feet, 9 inches (2.4 meters).
He is listed as Earth's tallest man in the Guinness World Records.
In his global search for a wife, Xishun ended up marrying a woman
from his hometown—who was nearly half his age and more than two feet
shorter, Reuters reported.
More than 2,000 people attended the traditional ceremony, held a few months after the couple was legally wed in a civil service
