Two Chinese newly-weds are hoping to get into the record books as the world's shortest couple.

Li Tangyong, 3ft 7ins, of Shunde city, married Chen Guilan, 2ft 4ins, this week.

"We had to postpone the marriage for three years because both our families objected."

But on October 1, they joined 30 other couples in a group wedding at a park in the city.

At the wedding, they announced they have applied to the Guinness Book of Records and are awaiting confirmation.

I wonder why their families objected?

Hmm...

i know, right. you would think that after as much as both of them had surely gone through in their life - their parents would be happy for them to find love & peace, ya know?

Exactly.

Maybe the family didn't want dwarf babies?

i thought about that too, but damn. your family is always suppose to want you to be happy. they could have maybe expressed their feelings about not wanting them not having kids without trying to keep the little folks apart.

I know there's more to the article, I just didn't read it cause I'm lazy. Did it say why their families objected? I know in the more rural areas they still practice arranged marriages... maybe that's why??

not much more there than there is here... just a picture.

Well i say the family should suck it up, get over it and wish them every joy and happiness! I sure do!
