Photos: Man 'Marries' His Critically Ill 6-Year-Old Daughter

According to DailyMail, Shi Haiqing walked down the aisle to 'Here Comes the Bride' to 'marry' her Prince Charming, who just happens to be her father.


At her hospital ward in Tai'an, Shandong Province, Haiqing was dressed up as Snow White for the
bittersweet occasion and her father dressed up as a prince.

Shi Xinzhan wedded his daughter in a make-believe ceremony attended by doctors, nurses and other patients in the hospital. He wasn't sure if his daughter will grow up to have her dream wedding.

Haiqing suffers from nephrotic syndrome which causes the kidneys to leak large amounts of protein into the urine.


She has taken hormones the past three months which caused her to rapidly gain weight. She gained 13lbs total which drastically altered her appearance, especially in her face.

The hospital had sent Haiqing's parents two 'critically ill' notices over ten days. Nephrotic syndrome can lead to swelling, infections, urine changes and blood clots.


The sick girl was 'Princess Haiqing' for a day and danced with her father in front of a balloon heart backdrop, DailyMail adds.
