bigamist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'veil announced for his second bride?' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'larger' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'larger' could be 'big' (similar in meaning) and 'big' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
