Hohhot (China), March 28 (Xinhua) The world's tallest man, Bao Xishun, who stands 2.36 meters, has finally found his Miss Right -- after 56 long years of bachelorhood.

The 28-year-old bride Xia Shujuan, who is 1.68 meters tall, only reaches Bao's elbow. She works in a shopping mall in Chifeng, in north China's Inner Mongolia region.

The couple registered for marriage just a month after they met. They are said to have felt comfortable with each other right from the first meeting. They plan to hold the wedding ceremony in summer.

Xia said that as they got to know each other, she stopped noticing how tall Bao was and was moved instead by his thoughtfulness.

Bao began to look for a wife last year and received replies from more than 20 ladies in various provinces. The Guinness Book of World Records confirms Bao as the world's tallest human being.
