The world’s fattest woman is desperate to wed her fiancée despite being twice his size at a staggering 54.6 stone.
Charity Pierce, 38 needs to shed 20 stone before the big day so she can have a life saving gastric bypass operation.
Thanks to her 22-year-old fiancée Tony Saur, Charity has already reduced her calorie intake from 10,000 to just 1,200 per day in the hope of having the wedding of her dreams. Charity said: “I’m determined not to have to get married at home – I want to be able to walk up the aisle.
“We both love country music so I plan to wear a wedding dress, cowboy boots and cowgirl hat and Tony will be in jeans and cowboy boots. “I want a big area, lots of people there and I want to dance all night and have the best honeymoon ever.”
However, doctors have warned Charity, who has been housebound since 2001 that without drastic measures to reduce weight, her life hangs in the balance.
She said: “I’m worried about having a heart attack or a stroke and dying in my sleep.
“My dream goal is to be 14 stone and get married to my fiancé.
“I don’t want much – I just want to have a life.”
Doctors recently brought a set of heavy-duty scales to Charity’s home to get an idea of the challenge ahead.
And at 54.6 stone Charity beats the heaviest living woman on record – Pauline Potter – who topped the scales at 45.9 stone (643lbs) in 2011 and last year shed seven stone.
Charity said: “Seeing that figure appear on the scales was such a shock. I didn’t expect that. It was devastating.”
