NEW YORK (PIX11) – A bride in New York was moved to tears after a heartfelt tribute from her FDNY family.

Her father, Kenneth J. Marin, was not present at her wedding since he passed away 24 years ago while saving lives on 9/11.

Kristin Marino, now 27, received support on her wedding day from members of the FDNY who helped honor her late father and pay an emotional tribute to his sacrifice.

“Walking out of the Plaza and seeing all the firetrucks, it just took my breath away,” Marino said. PIX11’s photojournalist Darren McQuade caught up with the newlyweds.
