AKIPRESS.COM - It doesn’t happen every day that the tallest and shortest in the world meet – and, when such different realities collide, it’s always magical, the Guinness World Records says.

On the occasion of the 20th annual Guinness World Records Day, Jyoti Amge and Rumeysa Gelgi (respectively the shortest and tallest women living) celebrated their first meeting with a lush afternoon tea at The Savoy Hotel, in the heart of London. 

The two women, who embody some of the most loved and iconic titles at Guinness World Records, were looking forward to spending a lavish "girls' day out" together.

They got to know each other during a relaxing morning, enjoying delicious tea and pastries.

Rumeysa is known worldwide as the tallest woman living, standing at 215.16 cm (7 ft 0.7 in), while Jyoti is the shortest woman living (mobile): a title she has proudly held for over a decade, measuring 62.8 cm (2 ft 0.7 in).

Despite a whopping height gap of 152.36 cm (five feet), the two became fast friends as they sipped traditional English tea and bonded over life experiences and a shared love for fashion and self-care.

"Meeting Jyoti for the first time was wonderful," Rumeysa said about the encounter.

"She's the most gorgeous lady. I was waiting to meet her for a long time."
