Kyle Froelich's first search for a donor kidney ended in a fairy tale romance.

In 2010, Chelsea Clair decided to give her kidney to Froelich—a man she'd never met—after hearing through a mutual friend that both of his were failing. The pair began seeing each other every day as Clair went through the donor testing process and eventually started dating after the transplant was complete. Kyle's health returned, and they got married three years later, making headlines across the country.
