A terminally ill dad's emotional request was granted after walking all four of his children down the aisle to make up for the wedding days doctors say he'll most likely miss due to his prognosis.

"He fulfilled his wish," wife Tammy McHugh of Chester Springs, Pennsylvania told ABC News today. "His ultimate last wish was to walk his children, especially his girls, down the aisle and he did it. I was surprised myself that we were able to find and experience the joy of the day.

"We had a great time [Saturday] being all together and no one said the word 'cancer.'"

With the help of Team CMMD, a Pennsylvania-based cancer foundation, McHugh said Ken was able to walk his daughters Samantha, 19, Julia, 15 and Kathryn, 14, and son Dylan, 17, down the aisle on October 3, in what they named "the family wedding."

In addition, the McHughs, after being married for 20 years, renewed their vows with the kids serving as witnesses.

1. What a lovely and graceful way to face this...

... he will be all the more present for his family in the future, even when he is gone.

2. Just like my dad

When he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he wished he could see my sister, the last of us to marry, at the altar. Her marriage was a little unorthodox, but he got to live it, as well as his own 50th anniversary (he only lasted 5 weeks after that).

The strength of the will of some people is just admirable beyond words.
