Mexican Manuel Uribe, pictured in 2007, the world's fattest man in the 2007 Guinness Book of Records, on Sunday married his friend's widow in a televised ceremony the US Discovery Channel dubbed "My Big Fat Mexican Wedding.
去年被《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》认定为世界最胖男子的墨西哥人曼纽尔·乌里韦日前与一位朋友的遗孀完婚。美国“探索发现”频道对婚礼进行了直播，并制作了一期特别节目《我的盛‘大’墨西哥婚礼》。
Despite shedding 230 kilograms (570 pounds) from 590 kilograms early on this year, Uribe, 43, had to be carried by a crane on his bed, where he has been confined for years, to the makeshift altar at a venue 30 minutes from his home on Sunday.
尽管43岁的乌里韦今年初成功地从590公斤减掉230公斤（570磅），不过他还是无法下床。在上周日的婚礼当天，他只好动用起重机将自己连床带人搬到婚礼现场临时搭建的典礼台上。乌里韦已经在床上度过了好几年。举办婚礼的地点距他家有30分钟路程。
The ceremony was televised by Discovery as part of a special, exclusive program titled after the 2002 US movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," with other reporters from Japan, Germany and Argentina in tow. No other cameras or cellphones were allowed inside.

"They're married. Now everybody's clapping their hands and congratulating the couple," Monterrey Mayor and wedding witness Cristina Diaz told reporters.
蒙特雷市市长、婚礼的证婚人克里斯蒂娜·迪亚兹在接受记者采访时说：“一对新人喜结连理。每个人都为他们鼓掌，为他们祝福。”
