November, 2008.
A man who was once declared the world's fattest has managed to consummate his marriage, thanks to some dedicated friends and a makeshift "sex ramp".
Mexico's Manuel Uribe married his wife Claudia Solis two weeks ago after being whisked to the ceremony in a flatbed truck.
He managed to slim down to 300kg from his peak weight of 570kg but was still unable to have sex on his wedding night — until friends built him a metre-long ramp made from reinforced concrete, Britain's Daily Star newspaper reports.
The ramp allowed the 37-year-old to raise the lower part of his body so his bride could access his genitals.
"We feel like we are in heaven here on Earth," Mr Uribe was quoted as saying.
The idea came from a US company, Liberator, which makes a variety of bouncy ramps for regular-sized couples who want to experiment with sexual positions.
