The world's tallest man Sultan Kosen, who stands at a massive 8-foot-3 and is one of only ten people to grow above 8 feet, celebrated his wedding in the southern Turkish city of Mardin on Saturday (October 26, 2013).

Their nuptials was attended by Turkey’s president Abdullah Gul and prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, many celebrities, religious leaders as well as high-profile businessmen.

Sultan Kosen said that he had almost given up searching for a woman to share his life with until he met his love match in Merve Dibo. "I'm thrilled to have found the person for me," he said. "It was unfortunate that I could not find a suitable girl of my own size. But now I will have my own family and private life.”

To celebrate the biggest day of his life, Sultan Kosen reportedly had to order size 28 shoes and a wedding suit specially-tailored that requires six metres of fabric. Now he hopes to find a car big enough for his huge frame so his new wife Merve Dibo can travel by his side.
