Marrying your kidney donor

An Indiana man has married the woman who donated a kidney to him and saved his life. Kyle Froelich of Danville, Ind., had been diagnosed with a fatal kidney disease and given a year to live when he met Chelsea Clair in 2009. The couple hit it off, and within hours Clair had pledged to give Froelich a kidney. Against all odds, she turned out to be a perfect match—and three years later, the couple have wed. Clair joked that she had little choice. “He’s carrying around my kidney,” she said. “I have to make sure he takes care of that.”
