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.

Eman is currently on a quest to become the fattest woman ever, beating the 1200 pound mark once held by Rosalie Bradford, who died in 2006, but what good is a goal if you don't have someone to share it with?

Luckily, Eman found love recently with Parker Clack, a 35-year-old chef she met on the Internet, and she is having fun getting ready for the big day.

"Oh, he's wonderful. He loves to cook," she told Inside Edition. "That helps out. His food is soooo good."

But preparing for the big day meant going to a bridal shop to pick the right dress -- one that wouldn't show food stains.

Making the dress will be a monumental task for seamstress Judy Goff, who estimates Eman's gown will be much larger than any bridal gown she's made -- or seen.

"Okay, we have about 15 feet here and we need 45 feet, so about three times this amount to complete her dress," Goff told Inside Edition.

For the record, Eman's gown will have to fit around her 107-and-a-half inch waistline -- that's nine feet around.

Although it would possible for Eman to go the whole nine yards with her dress -- literally and figuratively -- she is taking some steps to make it so Goff doesn't run out of fabric entirely.

"I want to go sleeveless because it's going to be summer time," said Eman.

How the hell does one eat 30000 calories a day? I'd be too full at 2000.

You'd have thought her body would have revolted by now.

The worst part about it is she's found someone who enables this self-destructive behavior.

To be honest though, with a intake of 30,000 calories a day, it's rather amazing she's lasted this long. You'd have thought her body would have revolted by now.

I already feel sorry for the pallbearers.

with that much calorie intake should it be counted as suicide?

They're gonna have a hell of a time coordinating their forklifts into a stately pace.

PROBLEM SOLVED

It's revolting as we speak.

It's not as hard as you might think. If you eat 4 of the king sized packs of peanut butter cups, that's about 2,000 right there. There where points in my life where 2 triple whoppers was dinner, and that's pushing 3,000 calories. Not even accounting for anything else I'd eaten that day.

Solo and that wookie had better watch out!

And given the original story, the responses to it are going to be the only "winning" going on.

I must say this makes me feel better about my own tale of the tape.

Good for her, she is happy.....I doubt many can claim the same...

You have no idea how she feels under the facade of a public spectacle.

Dont get me wrong, i find it disgusting she would go down this road, but on the other hand she is happy. Sure we don't know if she is lying but who cares, or is it one's job to tear down anyone regardless because they themselves are unhappy?

I'm pretty sure there are A LOT of genuinely well adjusted, happy people who would have a problem with someone eating themselves to death.

The coverage of Eman's wedding preparations -- and the creation of what's being called "the world's biggest wedding gown" for her upcoming nuptials -- reminds us that women who are antithetical to society's typical picture of a "bride" are treated like freaks who deserve to be gawked at.

(...)

Certainly, if Eman were a man, her upcoming wedding would be treated far differently. When Manual Uribe, who was the world's heaviest man in 2006, got married in 2008, BBC News reported that Uribe wore, "a white silk shirt and a sheet wrapped around his legs," and that the groom did not dine on cake, as he had been attempting to lose weight. The article about his nuptials was straight-forward, without judgment.

Eman, however, was described as if she were not a person but a circus sideshow. "Inside Edition" recounts her "squeezing" into the car with her sister to pick out her wedding dress -- a garment that would require, lest we forget her size, "yards, and yards, and yards of fabric." In fact, before the article divulged details about Eman's body, readers are ominously warned: "Brace yourself for her waist size." When discussing her diet, the article references "mountains of food soaked in butter." You know, in case we didn't already understand how disgusting we should think Eman is.

In the first place, her perceived happiness is utterly irrelevant with regard to her wholly idiotic and dangerous ambition.

In the second place, you are either extraordinarily arrogant or woefully naive to assume that people who find fault with this woman are doing so out of a lack of personal happiness on their part.

And you are definitely wrong.

"She's Happy"? No. She's Selfish. She's about to get married and she's continuing to kill herself. She's found someone who accepts her for who she is and instead of doing everything to stay with that person for as long as she can, she's going to continue self-destructing just to get her name in a single category of a large book that won't make a lasting impression on much of anyone.

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with her lifestyle and her choices.but it takes balls( sarcasm) to go on the internet and call her a liar for being happy.

My issue stems from the fact she's deliberately killing herself and making her new Husband an accessory. Statistically speaking, people who attempt to commit suicide aren't the text book definition of "Happy".
