Photographer Lindsey Villatoro gave one family the most beautiful gift.She organized a fake wedding ceremony so that a terminally(晚期；不治) ill father could walk his 11-year-old daughter down the aisle(红毯)．
Jim Zetz,62，was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and knew that he wouldn’t be around for all the big moments in his daughter Josie’s life.So when Villatoro heard about the family’s heartbreaking story，she decided to do something special for them.
“One day you’ll wake up and realize you’re given the opportunity to change someone’s life for the better，” Villatoro wrote in the description of the wedding video.“You get an idea，don’t think twice and run with it.It was an honor doing this for them.”
Villatoro first met Zetz and his family when she was invited to take one of their final family photos together.When Zetz’s wife mentioned that Josie was upset that her father wouldn’t be around for “memories down the line”，Villatoro decided to help out.
Amazingly，the photographer managed to organize a mini-wedding in the family’s backyard within 72 hours! With the help of financial contributions from the local community，she gathered a wedding cake，dress，flowers，and make-up for the little girl.Friends，family，and even strangers attended the event to show their support.
“Your dad may not live to see you get married，but he is here to walk you down the aisle today，” Gary Galbraith，the pastor(牧师)，said in the ceremony.“The daddy and daughter relationship is one of the most special relationships in life.”
At the ceremony，Zetz placed a ring on Josie’s finger as the pastor called them “daddy and daughter”．Josie’s mini-wedding coincided(同时发生) with her 11th birthday.Her mother said，“I knew it would be her last birthday with her dad.If I were Josie，this would be the best gift anyone could give.”
“It was a beautiful ceremony，” the neighbor Jennifer Stout said，“It’s sad to think of someone so young losing her dad but at least she will have a memory of this event.”
