HE was once the heaviest man in the world. But Manuel Uribe, the Mexican dubbed 'half-tonne man' plans to get married.
And he hopes to stand on his own two feet for the first time in years so that he can walk down the aisle for his wedding.
But for now, he weighs 324kg and can do little more than sit up in bed, reported the Telegraph.

He is so obese that when he went outside his house on his 43rd birthday on Wednesday, it was only his third outing in six years.
Mr Uribe and his bed had to be dragged outside his garage bedroom and onto the pavement outside his house in Monterrey in northern Mexico, reported Reuters.
On his birthday, he received presents of suckling pig and lamb. He sat on his bed, wearing only a bedsheet, and drank a beer.
And this after he has already shed 235kg since March 2006 on a diet of grapefruits, egg-white omelets, fish, chicken and vegetables.
He now looks set to break another world record - the greatest loser of weight - as he tones up for his wedding to hairdresser Miss Claudia Solis.
'We are in love, and this year my birthday wish is to be able to stand when we get married,' he said.
SO THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR EVERYONE IN HIS WORLD.
