Wayne and Laurie Hallquist from California have taken the title of world's tallest living married couple.
Their height made Wayne and Laurie Hallquist seem like an ideal match when they met seven years ago and now they have the title of world's tallest living married couple.
Guinness World Records bestowed that towering distinction to the Hallquists in a ceremony under the marquee at its Hollywood museum.
The couple arrived in a white limousine, with Wayne sporting a tuxedo and Laurie in a white wedding dress.
The Hallquists, who live in Stockton, California, measure a combined 407.4cm (or 13'4'').
He stands 6' 10.4", she 6' 5.95", the Guinness organisation said.
Laurie told Reuters that Wayne stood out from the crowd for a number of reasons, his kind personality being the most notable.
The Hallquists said when they met at a church singles club in 2003; they could tell that others around them were sizing up a possible love affair because of their height.
While Wayne said it was love at first sight for him, Laurie said their first meeting came up short.
They have been married for seven years, but it took the Hallquists until this year to contact the Guinness World Records.
The couple said they were discouraged at first from making a play for world's tallest couple, because they read online that a man and a woman each standing over 7' (213cm) had married in the 19th century.
Only this year did they realise they could compete in another category: World's tallest living married couple.
Guinness previously listed a couple in England - Wilco and Keisha van Kleef-Bolton - as the world's tallest couple at a combined height of 13'3''.
The Hallquists knew they could beat that by an inch, so they contacted Guinness, and the organisation had them measured by a doctor and a notary to make it official.
