Jessica is 177.8 cm tall and Larry, who has been diagnosed with dwarfism, is 91.44 cm tall. They told journalists about their love story to guinnessworldrecords.com.

Larry, 42, and Jessica, 40, met when they were children. The man had to repeat the year, thanks to which he met his future wife. “Growing up, we had the same group of friends and kind of circled around each other, but we didn’t really hang out together until we were older,” Jessica explained. Later, their paths diverged slightly. Jessica had a boyfriend, and Larry lived near where she lived with one of her friends.

Although they initially had no future in mind, their friends kept telling them that they were a great match and should meet. They began to become friends, and their relationship reached a new level when Jessica broke up with her then partner. – She was the first person I could really be myself with. She laughed at my stupid jokes and I liked everything she talked about, Larry said.

When they started dating, they already knew this was it. They got married that same year

Larry and Jessica started dating in 2006 and got married in December of the same year. They were already convinced that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. The engagement ring was hidden on a bookshelf. – I remember reaching out and grabbing the ring and passing out. I remember when she said yes and kissed me, Larry said. The couple’s children were soon born. Today, Olivia is 16 years old, Daxx is 15, Victoria is 12. The youngest is Felix, who recently turned one year old. Larry and Jessica decided to apply for the Guinness Book of Records when they saw a post on Facebook about other record holders. They then concluded that the man was taller than Larry and the woman was shorter than Jessica. So they knew they had a good chance and they actually succeeded.
