HANSON... & my Girlfriend visit London

My girlfriend @queensteem recently came to visit me in London as she lives in Cyprus. She was also to be celebrating her birthday on this weekend so I thought I’d put in the extra effort to be romantic and make it extra special for her.

The weekend started off with me finishing work on Friday evening and heading to Marks & Spencer’s to pick up some late night snacks that I know she loves, as I would be picking her up at 2am on Saturday morning and knew she would be hungry by the time we got home. I also picked up a dozen roses and had the idea to place them on the bed in a heart shape to surprise her with.

At 11pm I left the house and took the underground to pick her up at the airport. She arrived just after 2am and we took an Uber back to my place. She loved the heart shaped roses I laid out on the bed for her and the snacks I got her (she’s a big Lasagne fan).

So the next day we entered the centre of London and headed off to Harrods to buy her a birthday present. She really wanted a Michael Kors handbag so this was the chosen birthday present that I bought her.

So later that evening was the big surprise and reveal which she had no idea about. Months earlier I had bought tickets for us to see her childhood heroes and all-time favourite band… HANSON. You may recall the heart-throb sensations who had the hit MMMBop.

Now I’ve been told she was completely obsessed with them and had their posters all over her wall. Her dad had told me she even used to kiss the posters goodnight before she went to sleep lol!

So we got outside the venue and she saw a huge line of people and said “What’s going on over there” – I panicked as I didn’t want to ruin the surprise, luckily there was a big red bus blocking the venue’s entrance which had in big letters HANSON.

I told her to turn her back as this was the surprise, I waited for the bus to move away… revealing in bold letters HANSON and then told her to turn around. She was in complete shock, I expected her to go crazy and start screaming as she is very loud and wild… but she was just in shock and couldn’t believe it.

I was seriously embarrassed to be at Hanson, but after seeing how many other guys were there too with their girlfriends, I soon got over it… and I have to admit HANSON were great! When they came on I finally got to hear the crazy screams and wild excitement from my girlfriend I was expecting earlier.

HANSON’s performance was amazing and I was seriously impressed with their musicianship. Their set was so tight, not a single note played wrong or sung out of key… they even switched up instruments continuously and each brother would play the other brothers instrument.

All in all it was a great weekend and I’m glad to have given that memory to my girlfriend.
