A newlywed Kenyan couple with a huge height difference has never let naysayers hold them back. Although Lilian Wawira Gatimu may tower over her husband, Ezekiel Mwangi Maina, at almost twice his height, she insists she loves him just the way he is.
Lilian, 28, who stands at over 7 feet tall, and Mwangi, 33, who is 3 feet tall, first met at a mutual friend’s wedding in April 2017. Lilian was impressed by her suitor’s courage. “As soon as he saw me, he asked for my phone number,” she told BBC. “I told myself that this was a real man.”
