Brazil's tallest teen is set to become the world’s tallest bride after her boyfriend who is of average height popped the 'm' question. Aspiring model Elisany da Cruz Silva - 6ft 8ins tall - has been dating 5ft 4ins Francinaldo da Silva Carvalho for more than three years. Francinaldo solidified their relationship by dropping to one knee after a romantic stroll along the beach and asking Elisany to marry him.
Remembering the romantic proposal, 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.”
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.
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 fiancée.
He added: “I 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.”
