With a combined height of 13 ft 10.72 in (423.47 cm), Sun Mingming, 33, and his wife Xu Yan, 29, of China, claim the title for Tallest married couple, measuring 7 ft 8.98 in (236.17 cm) and 6 ft 1.74 in (187.3 com) respectively.
Married in Beijing, China, on August 4, 2013, both Sun and Xu are sports stars in their home country – he plays basketball and she is a handball player.
Having met at the National Games of China in 2009, over time they fell in love before tying the knot.
Of their height, Sun and Xu say, “Everyday tasks such as traveling by car, plane or getting a room in a hotel do prove difficult, but we’re used to these problems.”
Their advice for a successful marriage – “no one is perfect, therefore you need to support one another on a daily basis.”
We caught up with Sun and Xu during their visit to the GWR's London HQ ahead of the launch of the new Guinness World Records 2016 Edition book.
Sun and Xu's incredible record appears alongside thousands of exciting new feats in the new Guinness World Records 2016 book which is out now
culled from Guinness books of records.
Cool stuff ... He's cute!

**lululiscious**
Sometimes,I wish I was as small as Chidinma,or D'ija. I love fragile looking girls.
ReplyDeletePlease,how do I always assure a daughter that is taller than me that it is ok to be tall. Wherever we go people do look up at her,then look down on her feet(I believe to know if she is wearing heels). She wears the flatest of flats.
This may sound like a non-issue but she is feeling somehow. I have not really talked about this here but it disturbs me sometimes. I have told her that genetically,we are all tall in my family. 5ft7 bn the least. We were called Alanga by pals. My 12 yo son is already taller than me n wears a Size 41 shoes.
God,please help us. Oga is unpertured ,after all he is 6'2. In my next world,I wish to be short,smallish,pinchomic n everything small.
This is my rant .
Do not tell me I am showing off bcos you may not know how it feels to look for shoes big footed people.
If ppl like u and ur son don't exist, who du u want to buy all those oversize shoes and footwear in the market....... Enrol ur son into basketball game.....u shld be happy, don't know why ppl are nky contented with wot they have.......u prefer if u guys were dwarves...... Probably u don't know how djia feels abt her tiny nature

DeleteHi Irene. Pls pls pls encourage your daughter to never be ashamed of who she is! I have a feeling she is taking a cue from your negative feelings about your height. I'm about 5ft 11 now and trust me I rock my heels and stand tall! When i go out, I have on nothing less that 4 inches. The only time(s) you will catch me with flats is when I'm working out with my sneakers or with my fit flops around the house. As a kid and teenager I was one of the tallest in my class and I unconsciously used to slouch and cower or as my mum used to say "stop standing like S!" Lmao! My saving grace was my mum who constantly made sure I didn't "hide". You might say 5ft 11 is still okay. Even if she is over 6ft, So what? People will always have something to say and are always bloody mean! If it's not you're too long, it's see your ears, you look like Tyrone Lannister, see your bug eyes, see your scattered teeth! Skinny bones, Orobo..... It goes on and on and on. People will also be rude and as you know even more so our Naija people! Mum! It is your job to instill confidence in your child! Let her use that height to her advantage. Get her into public speaking classes, basketball, modeling or something fun like poise and etiquette classes. Reinforce her beauty and strength as a woman. Teach her about Amazons. Show her examples of accomplished tall women. E.g. Michelle Obama. She will be fine mum as long as you support her fully and not constantly have that attitude of ah I wish I was like Chidinma or Di'ja. It definitely rubs off on her. Best of luck in raising your beautiful queen!
DeleteThanks,Henry.
DeleteAre you a newbie?
Ah madam Irene I love tall ladies. Though am above average, atimes I wish am taller. Always rocking my heels and standing out.
