Firstly a huge congratulations!
On to planning: we had a couple of 400lbs plus guests at our wedding and can say that venue, reception layout and chairs were the main sticking points.
Often the rented chairs are placed a little too close together at the ceremony and tables can be cramped at the reception.
As you’re the bride, make sure your planner/ the venue/ caterer is at minimum aware of the weight requirements for the chairs and that for aesthetics your size is consider in the layout for the reception.
Other than that, first dance and photos: check out a number of show companies to make sure you are happy with what you will wear.
Finally: make it your day. The memories are yours and you want to enjoy it!

I was a chubby kid who enjoyed food and wasnt chastised for it much in my early years.
I developed IBD (Crohns specifically) and I often wonder if a lot of my “kink” is living vicariously through my wife. She was a fat teen but a skinny kid without much food in the later USSR.
Watching her overindulge and grow “out of control” able to eat 3 burgers at a restaurant without shame; watching her do from an xs when we met to an xxl in 7 years and enjoy it all felt very peaceful especially when I have to watch what I eat constantly and during flare-ups often find myself unable to eat most things and having weight loss constantly.

I've used a metal frame since I broke a flimsy twin bed as a teenager while vacationing at a lake cabin. I chose the bed I have for other reasons too, including aesthetic ones, but it's also held up well as I've continued to gain. I have noticed though, I can't cut corners on cheap mattresses. They flatten and develop indents in no time.
Hear here!
A bed is both a mattress and a frame at minimum [I would argue that there is considerable weight in aesthetic as well]
But sadly a well designed frame without an appropriate mattress is not going to hold up

Great! Has anyone got some actual site recommendations of metal frames that actually don't bend? I've already looked at a few. Much appreciated 🙂
Dont want to specifically quote but I hinted in the reply. Reinforedbeds a company in the uk. Give it a search and im sure you will find a specific company.

I saw a steel/metal frame that apparently holds like up to 70 stone. So me being 500 pounds which is around 35/36 stone, thought that would maybe last longer than the wooden divan beds I usually get.
In the uk there is reinforced beds: a company that have divans and metal frames rated up to about 800lbs.

Casual Gainer:
I would suggest being more specific in terms of frame as opposed to broad materials, for example, I had a metal pole based one which bent relatively easily.
This is probably the best summary from our experience as a couple. Material thickness, joint types, slat material all affect the structure and hence the “strength” of the frame.
A thick, well engineered aged hardwood frame is going to do better than a extruded bar bolted together mild steel frame.
