A husband and wife who are both more than 6 feet tall have been named as the the tallest couple in the world.
Sun Mingming and his wife Xu
A couple - Sun Mingming and his wife Xu Yan from China - are the tallest married couple in the world according to Guinness World Records. Mingming, 33, stands tall at 7ft 8.98" while his wife, Xu Yan, 29, is more than a foot smaller - but still incredibly tall - at 6ft 1.74".
The couple has a jaw-dropping combined height of more than 13ft 10". The pair are (unsurprisingly) sports stars in their home country - Mingming is a basketball player while Yan plays handball.
They met at the National Games of China in 2009 and married in Beijing on 4 August 2013.
When the pair visited the Guinness World Records' UK headquarters, they shared their words of wisdom for a happy marriage.
"No one is perfect, therefore you need to support one another on a daily basis," said Mingming. He also revealed the height-related difficulties facing the pair.
"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," he added.
