Physio Physiotherapists Claire and Dan’s day was quite literally a walk on the beach Images courtesy of Joss Denham Photography Claire and Dan met at Aintree Hospital’s physiotherapy Christmas party in 2013. “Dan was new and had started hanging out with my group of friends,” says Claire. “We gravitated towards each other, but it took a good few hints before he realised I was interested!” After five years together, the couple flew to Zanzibar after a safari trip to Kenya. “Little did I know Dan had been carrying the ring in his pocket for three weeks waiting for the perfect moment to propose,” continues the bride. “One night, as we watched the sun set over Jambiani beach, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It explained why he’d been acting so shifty all day! I of course said yes, then we went back to the hotel and chilled on our private beachfront patio. We decided not to tell the family that night, keeping it as a special moment between the two of us before sharing our engagement the next day.” The couple picked Newton Hall as their venue, choosing the 31st October, 2021 as a wedding date.
