METRO MANILA, Philippines (WHDH) — Being gravely ill did not stop a Filipino father from walking his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day.
Pedro Villarin laid in a gurney in his suit and looked longingly at his daughter Charlotte as she donned a princess-styled wedding dress and a long veil.
Someone pulled his gurney down the aisle as his daughter walked beside him before meeting her husband-to-be Mark at the alter.
Charlotte told local media that the family had hired an ambulance and a private nurse so her dad could witness the nuptials.
“We thought he would be able to sit on a wheelchair, but he couldn’t take it and used the stretcher from the ambulance instead,” she explained.
Law Tapalla Photography captured the touching images of the exchange during the Aug. 9 wedding.
Villarin died days following the wedding.
