Any wedding is a big deal for the participants, but preparing a wedding for two little people was no small order. When 4-foot, 2-inch Matt McCarthy, a Los Angeles-based entertainer, decided to propose to his girlfriend, 3-foot, 5-inch "Amazing Ali" Chapman, their friend, Todd Ray of the Venice Beach Freakshow, wanted them to do it up big.
"In this world, the sideshow circus world, this is a big deal," Ray told The Huffington Post. "It's a lot like the wedding of General Tom Thumb back in 1863, which was considered the wedding of the century." General Tom Thumb, aka Charles Stratton, was a little person who worked for P.T. Barnum.
