Pramod Kumar, 47, had finally found love with Poonam Devi, 33, after a 22-yr long search for love, marrying in a traditional Indian Ceremony in India just last week.

Kumar is reportedly 2'7" and and Devi, 3'4" and their combined height is just 0.4 inches taller than the current record holders.

According to Daily Mirror, that honour goes to Douglas Maistre Breger da Silva and his wife, Claudia Pereira Rocha, measuring a combined 71 inches.

Kumar reveals:

"A local villager helped us meet because he knew that both of us were single. It was love at first sight for me. We fell in love right after our first meeting.

"Things between us moved forward quickly and we got married within a few days. I am pleased to have met my life's love and wouldn't change anything.

"We got married in a big wedding ceremony which was the happiest day of my life. We love each other so much."
