(2017·四川眉山一诊)
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.
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 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.
