MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) - The world's most obese man is gettinghitched. Manuel Uribe says he will wed longtime girlfriend Claudia
Solis on Oct. 26 in Monterrey, Mexico. The two will be married in a
civil ceremony at a location still to be decided.
Uribe is unable to walk, and leaving his house means being towed
through the streets on his specially made bed.
This year the Guinness Book of World Records declared Uribe, who
tipped the scales at 1,230 pounds in 2006, the world's heaviest
man.
The 43-year-old has shed about 550 pounds since with the help of
Solis. The two met four years ago.
Uribe said Wednesday he will have a bite of wedding cake for
photos, but won't eat any more because his diet prohibits it.
