With a combined weight of 54st, they say they are ‘too fat to work’.

一对情侣体重加起来有300多公斤，他们说他们“太胖而无法工作”。

But that did not stop Stephen Beer, 45, and wife Michelle, 43, being able to splash out £3,000 on their wedding – as the bill was footed by the taxpayer.

但是这并没有阻止45岁的史蒂芬·比尔和妻子43的米歇尔花上3000英镑来举办他们的婚礼，因为这些钱全部由政府来承担。

Mr Beer, who was marrying for the sixth time, weighs 31st and had to have a suit specially made for the occasion.

新浪比尔是第6次结婚，他体重197公斤，婚礼上需要穿专门定制的礼服。

By contrast his 23st wife became a bride for the first time and wore a white gown for the registry office ceremony and church blessing that followed.

而他的妻子米歇尔体重为148公斤，这是她第一次结婚，在婚姻登记处的典礼以及随后的教堂仪式上，她身穿白色婚纱。

The couple’s story was featured on the Channel 5 documentary Benefits: Too Fat To Work last night and viewers were shown how paramedics were called to the reception in Plymouth, Devon, before Mr Beer was taken to hospital feeling unwell.

这对情侣的事迹被一档电视节目制作成纪录片--《胖到无法工作》，节目中介绍，在德文郡的普利茅斯进行的比尔、米歇尔两人的登记典礼上，虽然有护理人员在场，但比尔仍感到不舒服，随后被送到了医院。
