An 11-year-old girl from California walked down the aisle with her dying dad in a tear-jerking ceremony that pronounced the pair "daddy and daughter."

"It was not easy to do, let me tell you, but I wouldn’t change it for the world," said Jim Zetz, 62, who has stage-4 pancreatic cancer and is expected to live only a few more months.

"In twenty years, when she really gets married, she’s going to be happy that happened," he said.

A photographer close to the Zetz family arranged the mock wedding as a surprise on March 14, Josie’s 11th birthday., to give Jim the chance to celebrate a milestone he’ll likely miss as his cancer progresses.

Lindsay Villatoro of Love Song Photography secured donations for Jim’s suit, his daughter Josie’s white gown, a wedding cake, catering and flowers.

Jim’s wife Grace Zetz, 54, called the ceremony a "beautiful" surprise.

Jim was diagnosed with cancer last October. Doctors explained it was "fast-growing" and "too late to do anything," Grace said.

After suffering through three months of chemotherapy, Jim opted to stop treatment and enjoy the months he has left.
