of world's fattest man to marry

700-pound Mexican man hopes to stand for wedding: Manuel Uribe, who once weighed a half ton but has slimmed down to about 700 pounds, celebrates his 43rd birthday on Wednesday with a simple wish for the coming year: to be able to stand on his own two feet to get married to his fiancee, Claudia Solis.



Uribe says,

We are in love, and this year my birthday wish is to be able to stand when we get married
