They say good things come in small packages and that couldn't be more true for when the world's shortest man and woman met for the first time.

Despite being born 54 years and hundreds of miles apart, Chandra Bahadur Dangi and Jyoti Amge share a rare bond by their inclusion in the Guiness Book Of World Records, which arranged the size-appropriate match-up, reported MSNBC.com.

Dangi, 72, of the remote village of Rhimkholi, Nepal, stands just 21.5 inches tall, but he was the perfect height for 18-year-old, 24.7 inch tall Amge from Nagpur, India, when the pair was united for a special photo shoot dressed in their traditional costumes for the upcoming 2013 issue of the iconic record book.

“It was an extraordinary moment; they’re both such incredible individuals. Everyone knew this was a special moment and the atmosphere was magical,” Guinness World Records spokesman Marco Frigatti said.
