Photos: World's shortest couple set to marry in Brazil

The 'world's shortest couple' - with a combined height of just 5ft 10in - are set to tie the knot.

Standing just 34.8in tall, Paulo Gabriel da Silva Barros, popped the question to 35.2in girlfriend Katyucia Hoshino in front of their closest friends at a sushi restaurant in their hometown of Itupeva, Brazil .

The 30-year-old has diastrophic dysplasia dwarfism while 26-year-old Katyucia has achondroplasia dwarfism .

But while the pair are short of stature, they say their love for one another grows bigger by the day.

The couple from Brazil now hope their engagement can lead to their official recognition as the world's shortest couple.

"Once we get married we will try to be recognised as the world's smallest couple through the Guinness World Records," Paulo said.
