At the end of 2006, Americans Larry McDonnell and Jessica Burns officially formalized their relationship.
The result was an unusual married couple.
The difference in height between husband and wife was... almost 87 centimeters.
The figure turned out to be a record. However, the compilers of the Guinness Book of Records officially recorded it only in the spring of 2024.
The Love Story of Larry and Jessica
Larry and Jessica went to the same school.
At first they were just friends. As they grew older, the boy and girl realized that they liked each other.
Larry and Jessica began dating in the summer of 2006 and became husband and wife a few months later.
The wife's height is 177.8 centimeters, while the husband, who has been diagnosed with diastrophic dwarfism, is only 91.44 centimeters.
However, the huge difference in height did not prevent Larry and Jessica from creating a strong and happy family couple. It is also worth mentioning that they have four children.
Larry McDonnell and Jessica Burns-McDonnell were mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records this spring. The record set by the Americans is described as follows: "Married couple with the largest height difference - 86.36 centimeters."
