MONTERREY, Mexico (AP): The world's heaviest man is tying the knot.
Wearing a white satin shirt with a sheet wrapped around his legs, Manual Uribe left home Sunday to marry his longtime girlfriend in a civil ceremony.
A flatbed truck towed his custom-made bed to an event hall in northern Mexico. The bed -- which Uribe hasn't left in six years -- was decorated with a canopy, flowers and gold-trimmed bows.
Two police patrol cars escorted him ahead of a long line of traffic.
The 43-year-old tipped the scales in 2006 at 1,230 pounds (560 kilograms), earning him the Guinness Book of World Records' title for the world's heaviest man.
He has since shed about 550 pounds (250 kilograms) with the help of his fiancee, whom he met four years ago.
