3ft 7ins groom brings his own specially-made ladder to church as he weds his 5ft 7ins bride

A 3ft 7ins groom took his own specially-made stepladder to church so he could stand next to his bride on his wedding day.

James Lusted, 28, who has a rare genetic dwarfism condition, used a four-step wooden ladder to climb up next to his 5ft 7in bride Chloe.

                                        

                                                                               

 Mr Lusted and trainee teacher Mrs Lusted, 22, who are both devout Christians, tied the knot in the traditional ceremony at St Margaret's Church in Bodelwyddan, North Wales.

                                                  

The pair then stood eye-to-eye as they exchanged marriage vows in front of family and friends.
