The world's tallest man, 8ft 3in Sultan Kosen, has found his soul-mate with whom he tied the knot in his native Turkey.

Even though the 30-year-old farmer towers over Merve Dibo, who stands at 5ft 8in tall, he said that they are more than happy, Metro.co.uk reported.

Recalling his long search for love and happiness, he said that Dibo is the right person for him and he is happy to have his own family and private life now.

Kosen, who became the world's tallest man in 2009, now hopes to find a car big enough for his huge frame so his bride can travel by his side.
