Dear Diary,

yesterday i went to Bruno Mars’s The Romantic Tour with my boyfriend, and it genuinely felt like something straight out of a movie. i had sooo much fun, and i already know this is probably going to be one of my favorite memories ever… even though the day itself was actually kind of insane 😭

it all started going wrong almost immediately, which is honestly so funny looking back at it now.

we left at around 4:00 pm and were supposed to get there by 5:30, since the concert venue is only about an hour and a half away from where we live. somehow, though, that hour-and-thirty-minute drive turned into almost three whole hours. our gps kept rerouting us over and over trying to avoid traffic, and by the time we finally made it near the venue, we were already stressed enough.

and then we got told there was no parking.

not only that, but apparently parking was something we had to pay for, which we somehow had absolutely no idea about. the guy working there told us it could be anywhere from $60 to $100, and at that point we were literally panicking trying to figure out what to do.

thankfully, i started googling nearby parking and somehow found a spot for $40. the only catch was that it was about a 15-minute walk from the venue.

and guys…

we didn’t get there until 7:45.

which meant we missed basically ALL of RAYE’s opening set 😭

and somehow, that still wasn’t the end of it.

once we finally got to the gate, security told us that our transparent see-through bag was “too big” because it was slightly over the allowed size. i honestly don’t even remember the exact measurements anymore because… goldfish memory, obviously. but either way, they made us throw the bag away.

so after the traffic, parking disaster, long walk, and bag situation, we FINALLY made it inside.

and the first thing we heard was the entire crowd singing along to “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” by RAYE, which was literally her last song of the night.

so basically… we made it just in time for Bruno 😭♡

once we finally found our seats, my amazing boyfriend went to get me a drink because, lowk, we had barely eaten anything all day besides breakfast super early that morning. ya girl was running on absolutely nothing, and with how hot it was, i genuinely felt like i was about to pass away.

of course, he saved the day ♡

and after that, everything just… worked out.

the stress completely disappeared the second the concert started, and it ended up being one of the most amazing and fun nights i’ve ever had. i swear the whole thing felt so dreamy. the music, the lights, the crowd, being there with him… everything was just perfect.

so yes, the day was a little chaotic and we definitely went through it before we even got inside 😭 but honestly, i think that somehow made the memory even better.

definitely one for the books ♡
and finally some videos my bf took

see u in the next daydream ★
