snyper Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) A Chinese herdsman who is the world's tallest man has finally found his better half, state media reported Wednesday. Bao Xishun, who stands 7 ft 8.95 in (2.36 meters), married 5 ft 5.1 in (1.68 meter) saleswoman Xia Shujian several days ago, the Beijing News reported. Bao's 28-year-old bride is half his age and hailed from his hometown of Chifeng in Inner Mongolia, it said. After a lifetime as a bachelor, Bao began searching for a bride last year and heard back from more than 20 interested parties from across the country. "After a long and careful selection, the effort has been finally paid off," the Beijing News said. 56-year-old Bao was confirmed last year by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest person. edit Thats not his wife in the picture!! http://yalibnan.com/site/archives/2007/03/worlds_tallest.php Edited March 30, 2007 by snyper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
