Let's find out more about this story...
Elisa da Curos Silva was born in Brazil in 1995 and grew up quite healthy and beautiful child except that she was unusually tall for her age. From the very beginning of her studies, she was taller than all her classmates. Elsani grew very quickly from the age of 11 and reached a height of 2 meters and 5 centimeters by the age of 14. Now she is 17, and like all girls her age, she dreams of making a career as a model.
Elsani has a rare form of gigantism due to a tumor on her pituitary gland. Her sudden growth brought a lot of suffering to the girl, causing pain in her limbs and joints. Surgeons removed the tumor three years ago, and Elsani's height even decreased by a couple of centimeters, but the girl had to leave school because she was teased. But now she is happy with her Franzinaldo, who proposed to her.
Meanwhile, being tall does not at all prevent a girl from building her personal life. Elisan has a boyfriend who is not at all embarrassed by his girlfriend’s height. On the contrary, the 22-year-old Silva Carvalho proud to have such a prominent friend. This is not at all surprising, because Elisan’s face is quite pretty, and her thin figure can be called ideal by today’s standards. No wonder a girl dreams of becoming a top model!
A couple in love lives in the small Brazilian city of Salinopolis, they hope to soon give a birth to a baby. Even though Elsani is only 18 years old, she is worried that she will not be able to get pregnant due to her health condition.
But at first the tall girl didn’t like the annoying guy at all; she admits that she even wanted to hit him every time she saw him. But hatred eventually turned into love, and Elsani began to be jealous of Franzinaldo for other girls.
Elsani's height still attracts attention even in her hometown, but Francinaldo says that it doesn't bother him and he proudly shows off his bride. The future spouses carefully plan the wedding and therefore are in no hurry to set a date, although Elsani has already prepared a wedding dress.
“She is a person who is very different from others, and I know that I can make her happy,” says the happy groom. “Our relationship is special because she understands me and I understand her.”
