Laura Whitfield and Nathan Phillips' wedding took place two and a half years after the bride proposed to the groom, in the presence of their son who suffered from dwarfism.
 |
| Laura Whitfield, 1.26 meters tall, and her husband, Nathan Phillips, 1.2 meters tall, both live in Sunderland, England. They met while playing the role of a dwarf in the 2012 play "Snow White". |
 |
| Their wedding took place last month, costing £6,000 (nearly $8,000), in the presence of friends and family. |
 |
| In 2013, Laura took the initiative to propose after learning that Nathan was planning to ask her out. "He was surprised, but it was great to do something different," she said. |
 |
| The wedding of the "little" couple was also attended by a special person: their son, Nathan Junior. Just one month after the proposal, Laura learned she was pregnant. Despite doctors advising an abortion due to health complications during her pregnancy, she and Nathan decided to keep the child. "I was determined to see how far we could go with little Nathan, and we both fell in love with our son from the first ultrasound," she said. |
 |
| Nathan Junior was born with both his father's and mother's forms of dwarfism and was expected to live only a few hours. However, two and a half years later, he is healthy and became the ring bearer at his parents' wedding. |
 |
| Laura walked down the aisle with her son in a custom-designed wedding dress worth over $1,000. "We've waited a long time for Nathan to be old enough to carry the rings for us," she said. |
 |
| Laura, 26, has appeared in numerous films, including the Harry Potter series. "It's wonderful that this fairy tale has begun in our lives. Now we're married and this wedding is magical," she said. |
 |
| The couple said they were just like everyone else, the only difference being their height, and the wedding was proof of the strong belief within them. "We had the best day of our lives," Laura said. |
