Jim Zetz got his dying wish to walk his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day even though she's only 11.
He was given two weeks to live in October after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Complete with a pastor, flowers and gifts, the ceremony took place in their Murrieta backyard.
"Down the road, this will mean a lot to her," Zetz told the Press-Enterprise, crying. "She will always remember it."
The event was organized by Southern California photographer Lindsay Villatoro. She captured the ceremony in an emotional video seen tens of thousands of times on YouTube.

I'll just say, this isn't the way I would choose.
Then again, I don't have children, so, maybe my perspective would be different if I did.
