Chinese Newly-weds The World's Shortest Couple?

A Chinese couple is hoping to get into the record books as the world's shortest couple.

Li Tangyong, 3ft 7ins, was married to Chen Guilan, 2ft 4ins, this week.

"We had to postpone the marriage for three years because both our families objected," Tangyong tells a local paper. But on October 1, they joined 30 other couples in a group wedding at a park in the city.

The pair have applied to the Guinness Book of Records and are awaiting confirmation.
