Wide-Eyed and Legless (also known as The Wedding Gift) is a 1993 made for TV British drama film directed by Richard Loncraine. It is known in the US as The Wedding Gift.
It is based on the 1989 book Diana's Story by Deric Longden. It tells the story of his marriage to his wife, Diana, who contracts a chronic, degenerative illness that medical officials were unable to understand at the time (now believed to be Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). As Diana's health faltered, she secretly set him up with another woman to help ease his pain over her eventual death.
