Hannah couldn't believe what her partner, Bren, had in store for their date night. He had been teasing her with hints for weeks, but she could never guess the surprise. She started to imagine all sorts of possibilities, from a Tough Mudder challenge to a skydiving adventure like on that show, Don't Tell the Bride.
Earlier in the year, Hannah suggested that they start having weekly date nights to keep the romance alive in their relationship. They had been together for over a year, ever since they met at a salsa club in Soho. Hannah didn't want their relationship to suffer from the lack of effort that had ended her previous relationships.
Luckily, Bren agreed and they took turns planning fun and exciting dates, some of which were surprises. They had enjoyed Japanese dinners, movie marathons, a picnic on a scenic clifftop, and even a spa night away. But all of those memories were about to be trumped by what Bren had planned for tonight.
Hannah asked Bren what she should wear, already feeling nervous and excited. She was still recovering from a cold and had to take some Paracetamol before they left. Bren simply told her to wear something nice, but Hannah needed more specifics. She didn't want to miss the mark on the dress code.
Finally, they arrived at an unsuspecting pub on the outskirts of Winchester. But Hannah's jaw dropped when she saw the poster outside. Tonight's event was a tribute to Shrek, her all-time favorite movie franchise. She couldn't believe it was real, and even reached out to touch the poster just to make sure.
Hannah had always loved Shrek and used it as an emotional support tool. It never failed to cheer her up, no matter how sick or overwhelmed she was feeling. Bren had discovered her love for the movie early on in their relationship, and he was just as excited about this surprise as she was.
They headed to the bar, where they found special drinks like "Ogretinis" and a Guinness. Then, they took their place near the stage, surrounded by other millennials who looked just as bewildered and excited as they were. But once the band, called The Ogretones, took the stage, all their nerves disappeared.
The band put on an electric show, playing all of their favorite songs from the movie. Hannah couldn't believe how amazing they sounded and how much fun they were having. She laughed and sang along, feeling like it was the best night ever.
After the concert, they headed home with hoarse voices but full hearts. The next morning, Hannah posted a video of their date night on TikTok, thinking it would give her friends and family a good laugh. But she never expected it to go viral, with over one and a half million views and thousands of comments.
Since that night, Hannah and Bren have committed to prioritizing each other and keeping the romance alive in their relationship. They realized that relationships require thoughtfulness, fun, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected. And for them, a night with a green ogre and his band of enchanted misfits was just the perfect reminder of that.
