[PHOTOS] Father Fulfills Wish To Walk All His 7 Daughters Down The Aisle

A father has fulfilled his dying wish to walk all seven of his daughters down the aisle.

US army veteran Willie Shelton, from Ohio, suffered terminal cancer, but according to his wife Cheryl, there was just one thing he really wanted to do before he died.

He wanted to see his girls grow up and to walk them down the aisle.

And less than two weeks before he passed away, Willie’s family made his wish come true.

The plan came together in a matter of days and was all kept a secret from Willie.

One of his daughters, Emily Flinn, was already married, but she’d tied the knot in a simple courthouse ceremony, which meant Willie hadn’t been able to give her away suitably.

So the family decided Emily would have a suitable ceremony to renew her vows, where her father could walk her down the aisle.

What Willie didn’t know was that his other six daughters were also going to be wearing wedding dresses and walking down the aisle too.

When each daughter appeared in a white gown, they got to see the gleam in their father’s eye as if it was their real wedding day.

Willie was even helped out of his wheelchair to stand alongside his daughters.

On October 16, less than two weeks after the ceremony, Willie died.

However, each daughter will be able to have a little piece of their father with them on their wedding day.

The women were each given a little heart-shaped locket containing a picture of them in their wedding dresses and Willie, and engraved with “a father’s love never ends” on the back.
