World's tallest man, Sultan Kosen, got married to a 5ft 8 woman in his home in Turkey.

Sultan, standing at 8ft 3, had a wedding ceremony attended by Turkey's president Abdullah Gul and prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

"It's the happiest day ever," Sultan said despite a height difference of 2 ft 7. "I'm thrilled to have found the person for me."

"Now I will have my own family and private life," he told Metro UK. "How unfortunate I could not find a suitable girl for my own size. But in my fiancee I've found the person for me."

According to Metro, now his dream of finding true love has come true, Sultan hopes to find a car big enough for him and his new family.

In addition, Sultan holds Guinness World Records for the person with the biggest hands (11 inches long) and feet (14 inches in length).

He is so tall because he suffers a rare pituitary gigantism disorder, which causes his body to continuously produce growth hormones.

In 2008, doctors removed a tumor in his pituitary gland halting his growing problem.
