Weddings in India are largely remembered for their opulence and extravagance, but this wedding in Uttar Pradesh's Hapur district will be etched in everyone's mind for a completely different reason. What has caught the attention of the people is a 2.3 feet tall man marrying a woman who is almost the same height.
Azeem Mansooir from Shamli district was looking for a bride for many years as it was difficult for him to find a match due to his short stature. His dream finally came true on Wednesday as the 2.3 feet tall Azeem became the groom and took his wedding procession to Hapur district, reported news agency ANI.
The video of his wedding procession has been widely shared by social media users. In the video, Mansoori can be seen wearing sehra & sherwani, while the bride Bushara, who is of similar height to Azeem is seen wearing an embroidered red outfit that looks like a ghaghara.
Bushara got engaged to Azeem Mansuri in April 2021. The couple decided to tie the knot after Bushara completes her graduation.
Mansoori had expressed his desire to invite Prime Minister Modi and Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to his wedding.
"I'll be getting married in November. I will give my wedding invitation cards to PM Modi & CM Yogi. I will go to Delhi & will be inviting them," Azeem Mansoori told ANI.
