57st bride-to-be wants to break record for fattest woman for wedding day

While some brides-to-be try to shed a few pounds before their big day, Susanne Eman has been gorging to become the heaviest woman in the world.

The 360kg (57st) mother of two has tried on her dress – which is made of  13.7m (45ft) of chiffon and takes three people to carry – despite not being proposed to by her chef boyfriend Parker Clack. 

‘When I tried the dress on, it was amazing, I felt like a bride,’ said 33-year-old Ms Eman, who is desperate to tip the scales at a record-breaking 725kg (114st). 

‘Parker hasn’t seen me in it but he’s seen photos and says I look beautiful.  It’s amazing to have something specially designed for me. Normally, I just buy my clothes from plus-size stores online.’ 

Ms Eman, from Arizona, met 35-year-old Mr Parker over the internet last year and the couple plan to marry soon. ‘I love big women but I do  worry about her health and I try to make sure she eats some salad and does her exercises,’ he said.
