The Hallquists, who live in Stockton, California, measure a combined 13 feet, 4 inches, or 407．4 centimeters, to be exact．He stands 6 feet 10．4 inches, she 6 feet 5．95 inches, the Guinness organization said．

　　"It's a whole different perspective up here, and we can find each other quite easily in a crowd," Laurie told Reuters．

　　"We can see several people going bald that might not know it at the moment," joked Wayne, 57, who works as a telephone company wire splicer．

　　The Hallquists said that 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．

　　"She walked in, everyone looked at her, then they looked at me," Wayne said． But while Wayne said it was love at first sight for him, Laurie said their first meeting came up short．

　　"He talked about the size of my hands and feet, which is kind of a no-no," said Laurie, 46．"And then the second time we had a chance to talk, I figured out he was a really good guy．"

　　They have been married for eight years, but it took the Hallquists until this year to contact 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 feet had married in the 19th century．
