Today marks 10 years since we started #hansonatmywedding An adventure that saw us send 461 daily videos to @hansonmusic asking them to play at Bish’s wedding. A campaign that attracted international media attention including this report from Brazil!
We travelled the UK following @hansonmusic whilst on tour and quickly became best friends with the band #hansonatmywedding
We were even the number two trending story on @BBCNews https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-18340256 and written about in The Sun #hansonatmywedding
How it started:
How it was going by Day 25:
Lots of people got involved and helped the cause, including @wheatus, @robertpopper, @MiseryBear and a guy who handmade glittery #hansonatmywedding T-Shirts for us
One of our biggest supporters was the legendary @iainlee. We went on his show a few times, he came to see @hansonmusic perform live with us, and as heard in this clip, he even flat out asked them if they would play the wedding during a national radio interview #hansonatmywedding
Along the way, we met so many incredible people. Many @hansonmusic fans (Fansons) got involved but also amazing people from all over the world. People who believed in #hansonatmywedding. We genuinely couldn’t have got as far as we did without the support of that community
And in the end... #hansonatmywedding
It may have been a silly campaign but looking back a decade later, we’re proud of what we achieved. We hope our story inspired you and showed that if you REALLY want something - work hard and persevere. You might not get what you want but you could get a free trip to Jamaica...
We guess there’s only one last thing to say... @hansonmusic will you play at Bish’s 10 year wedding anniversary? #hansonatmyweddinganniversary
