800 pound bride fitted for world's largest wedding dress

Most brides have specific ideas about their wedding dress, such as style, fabric and design, but bride-to-be Susanne Eman was also particular about another facet: color.

"I like an off-whitish, not completely white. Because if I wear completely white, I guarantee I'm going to spill something on it," Eman told Inside Edition.

That could happen to any bride, but, to be fair, the odds of making a mess on a wedding gown increase exponentially when you're 800 pounds like Eman, whose average caloric intake is 30,000 calories a day.

I'm your average gal next door who just happens to have a body to match the size of her personality. I've never been completely thin, though I have been just under the chunky side. Growing up I wrote a letter to my dad; and in it I told him that my favorite subject in school was lunch. Who would have guessed? Throughout school I was always a top student. I graduated high school in the top ten percent of my class. I was about 300 pounds then. Later I also attended a couple semesters of college. From the time I was 20 to the time I was 30, I went from 300 pounds to 500 pounds. This weight wasn't intentionally gained.


Though, I noticed that I liked the way the weight felt, and the way my body was filling out. Then, one day at 30 years old I was surfing the net. I came across a dating banner for SSBBW's. I had never heard that term before. I decided to find out what it meant. That one add got the ball rolling for me. I found out about FA's and the world of larger women. I was impressed and excited. Deep down I had always known I wanted to be fat, but I thought I was alone in this feeling. I began to look into how fat other people were able to become, how they did it, side effects, and whether it could be done in a safe and healthy manner. The more I learned, the more I wanted to let go and gain weight.


So, at 500 pounds I decided I was ready. It wasn't until several pounds later that I began to feel the freedom and the absolute joy of being fat and getting fatter. The more weight I put on the better I felt, and the more confidence I seemed to gain. I began to change the way I did things according to my weight. I wasn't out running marathons by any means, but I tried to stay as active as possible. I began to eat just a bit more each day than the previous day. Before I knew it I was 700. I'm still very healthy, very mobile, and active. I'm looking forward to pushing the limits and seeing just how fat I can get. It's hard to put into words what it feels like.


The way my body moves on its own, yet with me is poetry in motion. Being this size has caused me to have to take life slower, That enables me to enjoy alot of life's little things that most people are so busy they over look. There is a bit of rebellion to being my size. I mean after all aren't we taught that you aren't supposed to be fat? I love marching to my own beat and thinking outside of the box. Not that there would be a box big enough to put me in either size wise or size wise relating to my personality. Being this fat has given me a feeling of total freedom and not only self acceptance but confidence. I wish other women could find the freedom that unlocks that within themselves.

Squishy hugs,
Susanne Eman

to the bathroom! She has too much body and her arms are not long enough!

Am I the only one who has noticed this about really obese people?

That orifice seems like it would be obstructed by her bulbous rear quarters and it seems like it would be challenging to eject anything without it getting stuck in the crevice. I guessing some sort of pressure washer is used.

A bidet is a low-mounted plumbing fixture or type of sink intended for washing the genitalia, inner buttocks, and anus. It was originally a French word

of mind along with her boyfriend and sister but I suppose that was short lived.

I don't understand it. I need to lose weight and I can't stand the extra I am carrying. I hate it.

and used it for a Chris Christie photoshop job. I'm reluctant to post it though-it's maybe too far over the top.

Obesity becomes someone else's problem when it effects your health. I hope her insurance can cover the plethora of problems...

This is truly not normal, and she will die an early death... perhaps helping this stupid groom will come up with a new recipe for "death by chocolate".

I just got my labs back from the doc and they have me quite worried about my cholesterol and triglycerides being high. I am looking at the food she's eating and am wondering why her heart doesn't just give out. How can your heart pump such fatty blood through those arteries is beyond me. I'd say she's a living miracle. I wonder what her life expectancy may be.
