My father gave me a kidney â now I can do my dream wedding

Keran Ins was just 25 years old when she came to know about kidney failure and told her that she would need dialysis three times a week.
He was destroyed and worried that he would have to reduce a dream wedding and honeymoon plans with fiancé Lara Russell.
Two years later, his future has changed thanks to his kidney donor-him 63-year-old Dad Bryan.
âThis 100% has strengthened our bonds, I feel forever as I favor him,â Kiran said. âWhatever I am doing now, it is because of it and I have no worry.â

The couple are due to the knot in the upcoming, West Lothian next month, before jetting on âMinimoonâ for New York next month, there was a honeymoon in Italy in October.
Pizza Chef, 27, said, âThings will be very different, I was still on dialysis.â
âWe were planning a wedding anyway, but things were very different, I was still on dialysis and a honeymoon plan would have been a bit of a disaster.
âYou can do this, but it includes NHS that arranges for dialysis in another country, which is incredible that they can do so, but would have been very difficult.â
In July 2022, when he was on a family holiday in Kullen, More, Kiran began to feel very unwell.
The next day at St. John Hospital in Livingston, he was told that his blood pressure was âthrough the roofâ.
Six weeks later, Medix said that his kidneys were failing. He was fitted with a stent in his chest and placed on dialysis.

Keran âhatedâ when she was a stent. This made the shower difficult because it was not wet and was afraid of catching her clothes and bed sheets.
He was placed in the waiting list for a kidney, but was warned that it could take a long time.
So his fiance, Lara, 29, asked both his families to donate a live kidney.
âThere was something that I was very upset about, I do not know how to remove that kind of thing, but I got a lot of help from my fiancĂ©, she was really ahead to help me ask,â Kiran said.
Eight people came forward to offer their kidneys, including Laraâs father and Kiranâs brother and sister.
However, Kiranâs father chose the hospital to proceed with the operation in March 2024.

Bryan, who lives in Prestonpan in East Lothian, told BBC Scotland News how he was âworried and nervousâ in the idea of ââthe operation.
The fatherâs seven said: âThey go to the scenarios, with any surgery, have to be true, and he said that there was a chance of death and I was thinking of my other six children.
âHowever, the kidney transplant is now quite regular and although it was always behind my mind, I was not worried about it and once I decided that I was committed to it.â
Brian found it difficult to see how much his son was suffering on dialysis and wanted to do something to change the situation.
He said: âWhen I told him that I would give him a kidney and thought it is amazing that I am doing it for him.â

âMy husband needed a kidney, so I gave him his ownâ
âDonating a kidney to my son was a gift for meâ
âI donated a kidney to my son -in -lawâ
Brian, who has worked as a cameraman for BBC Scotland for more than 40 years, bounced back from the operation.
He was working on light duties after eight weeks and flew to cover the European Football Championship in Germany after four weeks in June 2024.
The kidney should last for about 25 years, which means that Kiran will require about three transplants in his lifetime.
So what would Bryan think about this fatherâs day?
âObviously I have seven children, so you have got to think about them all, but I have a soft place for Kiran and what I did for him,â he said.
Kiran said: âI feel very happy now, I make my father the favor of my life. I am now able to get married to the stress-free of marriage and because of them I am marrying my dreams and planning to travel time with my siblings and fiancĂ© and are planning to travel and then have children.â
