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.
The terminally ill father walked Josie down the ‘aisle’ and their family pastor pronounced them “daddy and daughter.”
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.
“One day [you] wake up and realize you’re given the opportunity to change someone’s life for the better,” the photographer said. “You get an idea, don’t think twice and run with it.”

“Down the road, this will mean a lot to [Josie],” Jim said. “She will always remember it.”
