They might be the shortest couple in the world

30 year old Paulo has diastrophic dysplasia dwarfism. He drives a specially adapted car and works as a legal secretary. He even is aiming to run for mayor in his home town of Itapeva, Brazil. He said, ‘Respect wasn’t conquered from one day to another. Respect was conquered through a lot of hard work.’ His partner on the other hand Katyucia is 26 year old and has achondroplasia dwarfism. She owns her very own successful beauty salon and it has been specially adapted for her height. She said, ‘It was a dream I had, a very long time ago. But because of how my life happened I didn’t get the opportunity. We adapted my gurney, we adapted everything that needed to be adapted and then I really started working in that area.’ About 10 years ago, the couple first met on a social media website. Paulo said, ‘I found her very beautiful from the first moment I saw her.’ Katyucia added, ‘The first time I started talking to Paulo, he was really annoying. He had cheap-pick up lines.’ If Katyucia hadn’t suddenly decided to unblock him one day, that would have been the end of their story. Their friendship blossomed as they started chatting again. She added, ‘One day something happened in my head and I went and unblocked him. By then he was already more relate able.’ Paulo said, ‘When she unblocked me, it didn’t take me more than a minute to say hello. we started speaking and she said I was more civilized.
