Tim Mutton is a dwarf and stands 4-feet tall. Anita Wing Lee is 5’4″. So why wouldn’t they get married?
“It’s not just about having the perfect line or looking a particular way,” Anita says. “It’s about being a genuine kind human being. It’s really about taking all the veils and masks off that we put on ourselves and letting yourself be open to people.”
Their wedding photos and subsequent posts online have reached 200M views. Both credit God for bringing them together.
When Tim shared with Anita the feelings he started to have for her, she immediately friend-zoned him.
She said no, God said wait.
Born with dwarfism in Canada, Tim became an engineer. His parents were Christian and taught him his condition did not diminish his worth or God’s purpose for his life.
“God created me with intentionality and purpose,” he says. “What I may see as a limitation, He sees as an opportunity. When God knit my spirit to my body, it was no accident that He chose for me to be small.”
In addition to becoming an engineer, Tim launched a humanitarian non-profit bringing water wells to remote villages around the world. It’s called H2O4All.
Anita was born into a Christian family but walked away from God from age 16 to 26 when she dabbled in New Age. On a beach of Montenegro as she walked in the turquoise water, she suddenly felt overwhelmed with terrifying spiritual and psychological crisis.
As an online creator, she realized suddenly her dependence of internet attention for validation. She became aware of her own emotional wounds and loneliness.
She returned to Toronto and her parents’ church. In 2019, she enrolled in a Master’s of Divinity program.
They met at a party in 2021. She noticed his feet dangled off the chair. When they talked, he seemed personable.
Both were in the humanitarian aid space, so they had shared values.
Eventually, Tim invited her on one of his projects to install water well in Cuba. As a photographer, Anita filmed and contributed to publicity.
After two years, he started having feelings beyond friendship. Over a card game, he asked her what her plans of the future were. Plans to travel.
“What about me?” he asked.
While playing Uno, he made a bid to become dos.
“Am I going to be a person that never took the risk to tell her what I feel or at least to give her that uh hint of what I feel
She caught his drift immediately and reiterated the friendship only. She quit the Uno game and went to her room.
Unusually, they remained friends. He was careful to never prod her again. He also tried to make his emotions to return to the friend-zone only mode.
“We both went back to Toronto and we’re living our separate lives again,” Anita recalls. “He would message me occasionally, and I tried to shut it down. I wrote him a long message about how I appreciate him, but we need to just be friends.”
When it came time to hit “send,” she paused. God spoke: Why are you trying so hard to push him away?
She hit send anyway.
“But in a day or two, I felt like there was a part of me that didn’t want to send the message,” she admits.
For three weeks, Anita pondered deeply what was happening in her heart. A Christian book she read said “it doesn’t matter whether they have physical differences or a disability, if they love you and they care for you, they will still help you,” she says.
She pivoted in her WhatsApp messaging to more friendly.
Then at a Christmas party, she had a revelation. She felt happier when Tim was in the room.
Was it love? she asked herself. She had peace with the answer.
When they started dating, Tim went to Anita’s parents to assure them he had only the best intentions for their daughter. They had to work through some internal conflicts also.
When they married in June 21, 2025, their wedding photos went viral.
