Thousands of people have thronged the streets of the Sierra Leone capital, Freetown, to see one of the country's shortest people get married.
Masire Kamara is well known in the city where she sells tea in a market. When word spread that she was getting wed, many people did not believe it was true and went to see for themselves.
Street parties were held in the happy couple's honour. The event was covered live on state television and was on the front page of many newspapers.
Thousands packed the church and hundreds more climbed onto rooftops to see Sierra Leone's celebrity wedding - the local equivalent of David and Victoria Beckham.
Masire Kamara had to stand on a chair to kiss her husband When it came to the first kiss, Ms Kamara had to stand on a chair to reach.
She is a Christian but her husband, Mohammed Basiru Alghali, is a Muslim so another ceremony was held in a mosque.
Their motorcade was mobbed by people trying to shake their hands, as they drove through town to a reception at a community centre.

She is indeed tiny.
Oh, boy...here we go!
She may have trouble buying life insurance. Just sayin’.
Thereby proving she was no Christian.
Nate Robinson approves!
One of my favorite TV shows.
LOL, what does that mean, Nate Robinson approves? Something about how short the bride is? I must know.
I’ve never seen the show, but I’ve seen it advertised. (I don’t watch much TV.) As long as they’re happy, more power to them.
I prefer anonymity, but everyone else seems to want to be on TV. :)
I am so sorry for this lady’s handicap. MAYBE SHE’LL WISE UP AND DIVORCE HIM!!!!!
