The season of love is well underway with Valentine's Day just around the corner. What better day for Manuel Uribe to commit a lifetime to the love of his life? Watch “World's heaviest man gets married” and relive the moment as Manuel Uribe, who at one time was the world's fattest man, married his longtime girlfriend in Northern Mexico on this special day.

Manuel has been a global phenomenon since his extraordinary weight hit the headlines in March 2006. Following years of over-eating and an unhealthy lifestyle, Manuel hasn't left his bed in five years, yet with high spirits, he had planned a spectacular celebration for his big day!

After his tremendous weight gain and unsuccessful surgery, Manuel became the heaviest man on the planet, weighing in at an incredible 540 kg (approx). He almost committed suicide when he went into a long period of depression. By a sudden change of fate, an appeal of help to the world and the relentless assistance of doctors got him back on track. Although still unable to get out of bed, he had lost over 190 kg. His proposal to his long-term girlfriend Claudia was the latest, and the most amazing, step in his rehabilitation.

Manuel and Claudia have been victims of gossip and questions over their relationship from many quarters. For them, marriage was a chance to prove their love to each other with the hope of starting a new family. Featuring intimate interviews, wedding preparations and an exciting ceremony, this inspirational show tells the story of love prevailing against all odds.
