It wasn't her wedding day -- in fact, she isn't even engaged -- but earlier this month, Rachel Wolf put on a white gown and got her hair and makeup done.

In a "Today" show interview that aired Monday, the 25-year-old explained why she was playing bride: her dad is dying of pancreatic cancer, and she wanted to pre-record a father-daughter wedding dance so that he could be there on her future Big Day. Her father, Dr. James Wolf, likely has less than three months to live.

"There are a lot of things that I would've liked the girls to experience with me being there," a choked up Dr. Wolf said. "And I'm not going to be there."

Wolf and her father shared a touching and unforgettable dance to "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman at Auburn Recreation Park in Auburn, Calif.
