Dying Dad Gives His Daughter Away At Her Wedding From A Hospital Bed

He was determined to make her big day...

A terminally ill man who was determined to make it to his daughter’s wedding and give her away, arrived by ambulance for her big day.

According to the Daily Mail, Scott Nagy promised that he would make his daughter’s wedding and on Saturday he fulfilled his promise.

A team of medical professionals arrived at the church with Scott so that he could escort his 24-year-old daughter Sarah down the aisle.

“It was a promise I made in March, to walk her down the aisle,’ Scott said. ‘She’s my princess. This is my definition of walking down the aisle.”

Scott has apparently only been given months, or maybe even weeks to live. He was diagnosed with urethral cancer in November of last year. He has been in hospital since August.

Lying raised on a gurney, Scott escorted Sarah down the aisle to her husband-to-be.

The 56-year-old man has always intended to be a part of her wedding, he was at the bridal shower, he went shopping for the dress and he was determined to make the ceremony.

Jacky Uljanic, his nurse, checked on the arrangements before hand and made sure that Scott was physically able to make the wedding.

‘We did it,’ Nagy said when they made it to the altar and reminded her not to streak her makeup.
