A husband deliberately gained nearly 20 kilograms in three months to make himself "a better match" for his new 130-kilogram bride, the Daily Sunshine reported Sunday.
Liu Ru, the husband, who weighed only 63 kilograms in July, married Chang Qinghua, double his weight, in Jiaozuo, Henan Province at the end of June.
Since the marriage Liu has been overeating in order to match his wife's weight.
"My goal is to grow to 100 kilograms," said the 25-year-old man.
Due to their huge size differences, the marriage was not initially supported by either family after the couple met in 2012. Though Chang's parents later accepted Liu as a prospective son-in-law, Liu's parents would not agree to the marriage.
Chang even attempted to lose weight and managed to shed 10 kilograms, but her health suffered as a result.
Liu finally persuaded his parents and married Chang on her 26th birthday.
