A self-confessed wimp when it comes to pain is giving her new husband the ultimate gift – a kidney.
Lisa Parcel, 27, will go under the knife in a few months after it turned out she is a blood match for Lee, 33.
Diabetic Lee has been on dialysis for two years after his kidneys failed and also had a stroke last year.
After learning how to walk again, Lee recovered and can now administer his own blood-filtering dialysis treatment at home.
Now Lisa, who he married in June, is giving him “the perfect wedding present”.
Lee added: "There is nothing I can say or do to thank my wife for a new life. There's no repayment for that.
"She is going through all of this for me and I will never be able to show my thanks enough.
"I will just have to look after it as much as possible."
Mental health nurse Lisa, of Pentre, Rhondda, said: "In all honesty, I'm a bit of a wimp - any sort of pain normally scares me.
"But this is different. This operation will benefit both of us as Lee will be able to live a more normal life."
An NHS spokeswoman said: "One of the biggest risks of receiving a donated kidney is that your immune system - your body's natural defence against infection - will mistake the donated kidney for a foreign object, such as a viral or bacterial infection.
"If this happens, your immune system will attempt to destroy the kidney. People can function normally on one working kidney."
