Brazil's tallest teen, Elisany
da Cruz Silva is set marry her beau fiancée,
Francinaldo da Silva Carvalho. She
is staggering 6ft 8ins tall while her compact is only 5ft 4ins.
Despite a massive 1ft 4ins between them, Francinaldo had no problem increasing
the distance by dropping to one knee after a romantic stroll along the beach. The
love-struck pair have shared a small home in the Brazilian town of Salinopolis for one year and are hoping
to soon hear the pitter patter of tiny feet.
Elisany is so
stuck on having a child that she is willing to adopt if she does not fall
pregnant soon, despite being only 18. The youngster is worried that she may not
conceive because of a form of gigantism that was caused when a tumour grew on
her pituitary gland.
Despite this the couple is still looking forward to a long
and happy life together. 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.”
The couple is 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 see 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.”
