I remember seeing this story a few years ago....



The man walking the bride down the aisle is not her father...but the recipient of her father's heart.

quote:

Weddings are always emotional, but for Pennsylvania bride Jeni Stepien, the special occasion was particularly poignant. The night before her wedding to Paul Maenner, Jeni met Arthur Thomas—the man who has her late father's heart—and asked him to give her away. Jeni's father, Michael Stepien, was murdered in an armed robbery in 2006. He gave all of his organs away, including the heart that Arthur Thomas had been waiting sixteen years to receive. At the time, Arthur was on his deathbed, so the heart truly saved his life. On Friday, he and his wife traveled from their home in New Jersey to Swissvale, Pennsylvania, to meet the daughters of his organ donor—and let them hear their father's heart beating again for the first time in ten years.
