World's Tallest Bride of 6ft 8 Set To Marry Her 5ft 4 Boyfriend

18-year-old Brazilian teenager, Elisany da Cruz Silva of 6ft 8ins having dated her boyfriend of more than three years, Francinaldo da Silva Carvalho got an engagement from him while on a romantic beach stroll in Salinopolis, Brazil on March 29, 2014.

Sharing experiences of the romantic engagement, Elisany said:
"I told him many times, 'do not ask me to marry you because my answer will be no' - I think that's what he was thinking.

"I was so nervous when I saw him there. I don't even know how I coped.'

Construction worker Francinaldo added: 
'I have always wanted to go out with a tall girl and she came and fitted into that perfectly.' Read more and see more photos after the cut...

Though excited about her engagement to her beau whom she has shared a little home with for one year, Elisany worries that she may not conceive of a child because of a form of gigantism that was caused when a tumour grew on her pituitary gland and says she is willing to adopt a child if she does not fall pregnant soon because she is so stuck on having a child despite being just 18.

Elisany's height still draws stares, even in her hometown, but Francinaldo says the attention doesn't bother him and he is proud to show her off

The couple are planning on a long engagement despite Elisany already having a dress for the big day.

'We think how will the preparations for the wedding be, the church, the best men and bridesmaids,' added Francinaldo.

'We have taken just one step towards the wedding - which was me asking her to marry me.

'We are giving it some time to get it all in order.'

The newly engaged couple have not always seen eye to eye and Francinaldo had to work hard to get the ring on Elisany's finger.

'When we met I had already turned 16,' she said.

'I was still a bit childish and so I was just playing around with him for a while and I got so annoyed with him - as if he was a rival that I hated.

'I just didn't like him and wanted to hit him every time we met.'

But little Francinaldo has a big heart and remembers their meeting a little differently.

He said: 

'The first time I saw her I went to get some bread and I noticed her from a distance.

'I checked her out and she also checked me out straight away.

'Then I just thought, "I need to be with that girl". I always found her beautiful.'

And the hate eventually turned to love for Elisany when she became jealous of Francinaldo's prowess with the ladies.

'He was talking to another girl and I was jealous,' she said.

'He intrigued me - I wanted to know more about him.'

Despite the pair being completely in love, not everyone is as happy about the new engagement.

Elisany's mother, Ana Maria Ramos, said: 'I don't know how this could happen - this proposal.

'It was a surprise - no-one was expecting it.

'In spite of everything she is still a very young girl with a lot ahead of her.

'She is sometimes a bit difficult to him but I've never seen him treating her badly.

'He has been an excellent person.'

Elisany still draws stares while walking down the street where she has lived her entire life and is often referred to as the giant girl. Francinaldo said: 
'I keep telling her to get out more so that people don't feel so curious about her.

'When we go for a walk people keep staring saying 'look at that giant girl'.

'It really bothers me because people don't have the consciousness of thinking that she's also a human being.'

But despite drawing stares Francinaldo cannot wait to show off his new fiancie. He added: 
' am always boasting about being with her.

'Everyone thinks she is beautiful - my friends think she is beautiful.

'They always ask me to take her to meet them but she won't go because she's embarrassed.

'She is a person that is very different and I know I can make her happy.

'Our relationship is special because she understands me and I understand her.'
