Radiant in her wedding dress, smiling *Malissa Jones looks like any other happy bride.
But as the 22-year-old posed for photographs with her new husband on her sunny wedding day last month, she knew that it was a miracle for her to be even standing there.
Little over a year ago Malissa, who once weighed 34st and was dubbed Britain?s *fattest teen, was given just six months to live, *having become dangerously anorexic.
In a bizarre twist, she went from eating 15,000 calories a day to just 500 after gastric bypass surgery and the grief of losing her unborn son at 27 weeks.
But with the help of her fiance Chris Rowbottom, 23, she battled back from the brink and at an intimate ceremony, the couple, from Selby, North Yorkshire, tied the knot surrounded by friends and family.
