Beauty and the beast

So Yao Ming got married to his childhood sweetheart, the 6'2" Ye Li, also a basketball player.  I guess it would look funny if Yao Ming hooked up with the typical barely 5' tall Chinese girl.  

My mother commented, when she saw a picture of Ye Li, that she was a beast.  Evidently, my mother thinks Yao Ming can do better.  But from the wedding photos, I think she looks ok.  I think the true litmus test of whether you are a beast or not is if you are unsuccessful in looking pretty on your own wedding day.  Luckily, most people clean up pretty good.  

Of course, so far, all I've been able to find are pictures of her from an angle, where you don't really see her face.  That may be a bad sign.
