The world's tallest man has fulfilled his life-long dream of finding love and getting married.
Sultan Kosen, 30, who stands at 8ft 3in, towers over his new bride, 21 year-old Merve Dibo who measures 5 foot 9inchs.
Sultan rose to fame in 2009 when he was named the world's tallest man by Guinness World Records.
On his first visit to London in September 2009 he said that he hoped his newfound fame would change his life, and help him find a wife:
He said: “It’s really difficult to find a girlfriend. They are usually scared of me. Hopefully now that I'm famous I'll be able to meet lots of girls. My dream is to be married."
