HRI Day Surgery was where Vicky Sillitoe and Dave Power first met.  They started as friends and colleagues and this summer got married. CHFT Weekly loves a wedding - especially when both work here and we're delighted they were willing to share their best moments from their big day with CHFT colleagues.

Can you remember the first time you met?

We met on DSU HRI when I started on there in 2011. We were colleagues and friends for a long time before getting together in 2015. 

Where was your first date?

Our first date was in Frankie and Bennys.  We have enjoyed eating out ever since and something we love doing in our free time.

Where and when was the wedding?

We wanted a small and intimate wedding with a relaxed atmosphere so we chose the Woodman Inn in Kirkburton, which was just perfect!  We got married on the 11th May at 11am

First dance song?

Personally chosen music featured throughout the day as there are so many songs that mean so much to us.  For our first dance we chose a song by John Legend - All of Me

Did your colleague celebrate with you?

Colleagues from both of our work families joined us to celebrate.  We also had colleagues join us who we no longer work with but have lastly friendships with.  It was a lovely day and great to share with them. 

Before returning to work we enjoyed a few days in London which is place that means a lot to us.  We are looking forward to our honeymoon in December where we will return to NYC, a place we visited shortly after getting engaged!

My now husband does work in day surgery at HRI and is a advanced theatre assistant.
