Dying Daddy Walks His 11-Year-Old Daughter Down The Aisle

Jim Zetz, 62, from Murrieta, Calif. has stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and knowing he wouldn't live to see his daughter get married he walked her down the aisle during a March 14 backyard ceremony.

The "wedding" took place the same day Josie turned 11, and her father placed a sparkly ring on her index finger.

Thanks to their local community, Jim's dream of walking his daughter down the aisle came true. Financial contributions gathered in just 72 hours paid for the dress, food, wedding cake, flowers, hair and makeup.
