The
world’s tallest man, 8ft 3in Sultan Kosen, has married his soulmate at a
ceremony in Turkey, bringing a happy ending to his search for a bride.Mr Kosen looked a picture of true happiness and pride as he walked hand in hand with his new wife, Merve Dibo yesterday. The besotted pair tied the knot in the southern Turkish city of Mardin.
The gentle giant had previously despaired of finding a soulmate who would prove a perfect fit.
So when the 30-year-old finally met, and fell in love with, Merve Dibo, he said it was nothing short of a miracle that she was just as taken with him.
In a bespoke suit and shoes, to fit his world-record sized body and feet, Mr Kosen and his wife were grinning ear to ear throughout their day of celebrations.
Towering 2ft 7in above his new wife, the part-time farmer was pictured without his usual walking stick as he danced the night away.

He added: “It was unfortunate that I could not find a suitable girl of my own size. But now I will have my own family and private life.”
Mr Kosen, who is one of only ten people ever to top 8ft, suffers from a rare disorder called pituitary gigantism, which causes his body to continually produce growth hormones.
He began shooting up at the age of ten, became the tallest man in the world in 2009 and finally stopped growing.
