Three sisters got married at the same time so their dying mother could attend - just 12 hours before she passed away.

Beautiful photos have been released which capture the day three sisters got married at the same time so their dying mother could attend - just 12 hours before she passed away.
When Sarah, Kaylee and Jodie Swales - aged 19, 21 and 22 - learned their mother's breast cancer had worsened, they agreed to hold a joint wedding on October 26 last year. They were already engaged.
But as Becky Swales' condition deteriorated, the loving daughters from Snellville, Georgia brought the ceremony forward to fulfill her final wish of seeing them walk down the aisle.

Otis Swales, who walked all of his daughters down the aisle, said he was hoping his faith would get him through.

'My wife is the love of my life so it's hard,' said Otis, who had been married to Becky for 25 years. 'But I'm proud of my daughters. I just pray God gives me strength to get through every day.'

Just 12 hours after her daughters walked down the aisle, Becky Swales succumbed to the disease.
She had been diagnosed with breast cancer on February 15, 2010 and although chemotherapy proved effective at first, doctors discovered that the disease had spread to other organs.

Despite her bleak prognosis, Mrs Swales' daughters say she had continued to maintain a positive attitude until her death.

'She does always have a smile on her face and she's pushing so hard,' Kaylee said.

Before her death, Becky, 43, wrote on Facebook: 'I thank God for waking me up every day. I have such a great support system.

'My loving husband, my three beautiful daughters and my Mom have stood by me every step of the way. I can't say enough about what a blessing that has been.'

Throughout the wedding planning, support and donations had poured in for the family and a company even donated a venue for a reception.
The reception was held several days after Mrs Swales had passed away.
