World's Fattest Man Marries

Most couples walk down the isle, but Manuel Uribe came in his bed. According to The Telegraph, Uribe, who has not left his bed in 6 years, wore a white silk shirt and had a sheet wrapped around his legs, while his custom-made bed, decked with flowers and gold-trimmed bows was wheeled up to the event hall on a flatbed truck. Uribe cried as notary declared him and long-time girlfriend Claudia Solis, 38, man and wife. In 2006, Uribe, a former mechanic, weighed in at 1,230 pounds and made the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s heaviest man. Since then, he has dropped 550 pounds and gained a wife. He didn’t eat a morsel of the 5-tier wedding cake, preferring to stick to his diet in hopes that his next claim to fame will be as the world’s biggest weight-loser.
