Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5

After learning that their mother may only have a few months to live, three sisters decided to plan a last-minute triple wedding.

All three girls happened to be engaged at the same time. They opted to marry at the same time to ensure that their mother, Becky Swales, will be there to see them walk down the aisle.

According to FOX 5 Atlanta, Becky has been battling breast cancer for the past four years. Her doctors recently told her that, in the best case scenario, she may only have until Christmas time.

The Snellville, Ga. family has received an incredible outpouring of support and donations from the local community. Thanks to their generosity, the Swales sisters will tie the knot on October 26.

Watch the video above for more on the heartbreaking, but love-filled story.
