A group wedding for seven special couples was staged in Beijing on Saturday.

These couples are young dwarfism sufferers who are, on average, 126 centimeters tall.

They met and fell in love in the city's acting troupe where they work as performers.

On the chilly Saturday morning, the couples all got married together in a mass ceremony.

The wedding, organized by several institutions including Beijing's Cultural Affairs Bureau and Disabled Person's Federation, was part of a project designed to offer help and care to those suffering dwarfism.
