Turkish farmer Sultan Kosen has married bride Merve Dibo in a HIGH-profile wedding.

The 8ft 3in giant towered over his 5ft 8in wife as they exchanged vows.

But Sultan - who suffers from a rare disorder caller pituitary gigantism - couldn't be happier.

"Now I will have my own family and private life," the 30-year-old said.

"How unfortunate I could not find a suitable girl of my own size.

"But in my fiancee I’ve found the person for me."

Sultan is also included in the Guinness Book of World Records for his giant hands (11ins) and feet (14ins).

His huge frame meant he had to have a specially-tailored wedding suit made for him.

But it was a TALL order for him to squeeze into the couple's wedding car, as they were driven away from the ceremony.

Sultan's status as the word's tallest man had turned him into a celebrity in his home country

Both Turkey's president Abdullah Gul and prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended his BIGday.

Sultan is one of just four men to grow above 8ft, but is a few feet off the world's tallest man ever.

American Robert Wadlow was a staggering 8ft 11.1 in before he died age 22 in 1940. The Daily Star report.
