Love!: 2ft 8in tall bride marries her 6ft 1in heartthrob

Amanda and Steven on their wedding day

Amanda Fyfe, 31, from Hinckley, Leicestershire, was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which means her bones break easily and her growth has been restricted. When Amanda was born, doctors even warned her parents, Geoff and Diana Moore, that their newborn daughter may not survive even one night. To know that the now 2ft 8in mother of one would one day marry 6ft 1in man would have been a dream.

However, with the help of a wheelchair, Amanda now lives a full life and even gave birth to the couple's son, Aidan, six years ago.  When Amanda and Steven were first introduced in 2007, at the taxi rank where they both worked, it didn't seem likely that love was on the cards. Amanda had been cautious about men, worried that her height would stop her from finding the perfect partner. Despite becoming friends; the pair didn't go on a date until two years later. However as they enjoyed nights out together, their love quickly flourished.

Speaking to the Mirror, Amanda admitted that she did initially worry about what people would make of their relationship.

She said: 'Some people looked at us, but we just ignored them.'

Steven says the height issue doesn't matter and that he's always thought that his wife was out of his league. The couple say they enjoy a healthy sex life and when they first started sleeping together, Steven quickly made Amanda feel at ease. After just a few months of dating, Amanda discovered that she was pregnant despite being warned by doctors that she was unlikely to ever be able to conceive. Terrified that Steven, who was only 18 at the time, wouldn't want the child, she broke down. However, Steven was hugely supportive and Amanda quickly realised he was 'The One.'

Following specialist care during her pregnancy and a carefully controlled birth, Aidan, now six, was born without complications and is already taller than his mum at 3ft 2in.

Although Amanda's mother Diana died of kidney failure in 2009, her memory was preserved in a special brooch with her photo on it, something that Amanda's father Geoff placed on the seat next to him at the wedding.

When the newlyweds shared their first dance at their reception in Oakham, Rutland in July, groom Steven carried her on to the dancefloor while 75 friends and family watched as they whirled around to their favourite song Heaven by DJ Sammy.

Although Steven and Amanda would love another child and Amanda has been in good health in recent years, a sibling for Aidan would be 'risky'.

Amanda explained: 'We're looking at other options and we're considering adoption, as we'd love to give Aidan a brother or a sister. We have so much love to give as a family.'
