American couple renew vows after re-proposal on board ICT fan bus

A couple from the US say their Highland holiday is the best they've ever had, after a re-proposal on a Caley Thistle supporters bus.

Daniel and Danielle Bryant decided to take a trip from the North of Scotland down to Forfar on Saturday to watch the Caley Jags play.

Inverness secured a 4-1 win, but the pair from Indianapolis arguably bagged the biggest result of the day.

Daniel decided to re-propose to his wife of 21 years on the bus back to Inverness, with those on board cheering the happy couple on.

On Sunday, they renewed their vows at the city's cathedral.

Daniel, who describes himself as the "largest Caley Thistle fan across the pond," says it was an opportunity to do something special, while Danielle feels the whole experience has been "magical."

Video footage taken on the bus shows Daniel thanking fellow ICT supporters for the day out before going down on one knee.

He can be heard saying: "I wanted to ask my wife one more time if she wanted to marry me tomorrow, one more time, at Inverness Cathedral."

A round of applause can be heard before Daniel shouts with joy, "she said yes!".

Danielle explained how surprised she was at the gesture.

She said: "I was actually recording him because I thought he was only thanking the bus.

"I was so shocked and even 'ugly-cried' when I found out he was asking me to re-marry him."

Daniel has been following ICT from the States for around six years after tracing family routes in Scotland and described his dedication.

He said: "I would set my alarm every morning to be able to wake up in the US and watch the Caley Thistle play.

"I'm the largest Caley Thistle fan across the pond, and we love watching the team.

"Seeing how involved they are in the community, how much they give back."

Daniel is no stranger to big romantic gestures.

In May 2001, he proposed to Danielle at a Detroit Tigers baseball game and hired a plane with the words 'I love you Danielle' to circle the stadium.

However, Danielle feels Sunday's ceremony at Inverness Cathedral was better than their wedding 21 years ago and describes how much she's enjoyed their trip to Scotland.

She added: "It has been inspiring and almost magical, probably the best holiday we've ever been on in our whole lives."

After explaining how their wedding in 21 years ago wasn't in a church, Daniel added: "This was an opportunity to do something special not only for myself, but more importantly for her and give her a wedding and a venue she deserved the first time around."
