“He talked about the size of my hands and feet, which is kind of a no­no，” 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.

　　Only this year did they realize they could compete in another category: world's tallest living married couple.

　　Guinness previously listed a couple in England—Wilco and Keisha van Kleef­Bolton—as the world's tallest couple at a combined height of 13 feet, 3 inches.
