On their third date, a Chinese man and a Russian woman, who don't share a common language, have married with the aid of dictionaries.

The Chinese man, 29, from Wuhan in Hubei Province, said that he fell in love with his 23-year-old Russian wife, after he saw her photos on former social networking website MSN.

The two made contact two years ago, when they have since relied on dictionaries and translation software to communicate because neither speaks the other's language, nor do they share a common language.

On their first date, the Russian woman flew to Wuhan, and on their second date, the Chinese man met her in Moscow.

The Russian returned to Wuhan, where they plan to settle, and the two were wed with a Chinese-Russian style wedding.
