"Their height made Wayne and Laurie Hallquist seem like an ideal match when they met seven years ago, and on Thursday they were matched with something else -- the title of world's tallest living married couple."

Guys, please imagine these measurements : "Wayne is a ceiling-grazing, doorway bumping 6 feet 10.4 inches tall and Laurie is an impressive 6 feet 5.95 inches. (OMG!!!) Lol.

It's Guiness World Records Day (18th November), and one of the ways to commemorate it , was to announce the new "Tallest Married Couple" at the Guinness World Records Museum in Hollywood, California.

They've been married for seven years, but only recently tried out for this enviable title of "tallest married couple" . Yeah, I guess there must be a lot of competition (yeah, right; how many couples can boast of having 13 feet worth of height between them? LOL!!)

Well, actually, the previous record-holders for “Tallest Married Couple” were Wilco (Netherlands) and Keisha van Kleef-Bolton (UK) with a combined average height of 13 ft. 3.3 in. (404.7 cm).  The couple met after Keisha contacted the UK’s Tall Persons Club in search of a dance partner. Shortly afterward, the tall twosome were married at the All Saints Church in London on November 27, 2001. Guinness World Records recorded the pair’s record at their home in England, on March 18, 2009 (aaw, sooo romantic, a fairy tale ending meant just for giants . Ok, kidding, kidding!!)

Anyway, I wish them luck in their new Guiness World Record title,

I hope this marriage is not for the records alone?

Lol, no, I've gleaned that they've been married for seven years, though never tried for the record until now. It seems there are many "tallest couples" out there, so it's good to wait small before one nominates themselves for the record I guess . Well, for now, at the date of 18th November 2010, they are the current record-holders .

Love is what matters

What a joke!

What a joke!

Even them they know now . They said it's always easy to find themselves in a crowd - no need for stretching ur neck again. They can easily see on top of every one's head so they said they know who and who is going bald but who don't even know it yet. Imagine saying such a thing . Anyway, I'm happy they found eachother; when you're so unique it's hard to find a good match .
