With his traditional Mongolian wedding ceremony just around the corner,
56-year-old Bao Xishun, the world's tallest man, has been busy looking
for a bed that is large enough for his 2.36-m frame.
Bao and his bride, Xia Shujuan, registered their marriage on March 26.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place in Chifeng, a city in the the
Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on July 21.
"Everything is ready for my wedding, except for a bed capable of fitting
me at our new home," Bao said last week after shopping around local
furniture markets. The media have urged people to offer solutions to the
dilemma.
