My name is Menna and never would I have thought I would be writing my own Bieber experience at any point. Last summer I finally managed to get Believe tour tickets for one of Justin’s UK shows. I had never seen Justin in person before that, even though I had been supporting him for 3 years. Little did I know that the first time I ever see him would be at a meet and greet. One night before the concert I found out that my friend @nadeenm_ had won 2 M&G wristbands and was giving them to me as she lives in America! I can’t afford buying M&G’s so I never even thought about meeting him, it just seemed impossible. I’m so thankful, she’s changed my life. When my 3 friends and I got to Birmingham, I collected the wristbands and started queueing up with one of my friends. We couldn’t register what was happening It just felt like a dream. All of a sudden we felt someone hugging us from behind, it turned out to be our other two friends who managed to actually sneak in! I was so happy that we were all meeting him. We waited for about two more hours. During this time we saw Kenny walk by a few times and we met Nick Demoura, he was really nice! When it was our turn to go backstage, we realized that people were going in and coming out straight away so we knew we’d only a few seconds with Justin. We had to go in groups of six so it was us four and two other girls. The two girls went in before us so I thought they would be standing next to Justin but somehow they weren’t and I managed to stand next to him in the photo. As soon as I walked in, I stopped breathing because he looked so unreal. He’s one of those people who look so much better in real life than they do in photos. It felt so strange – my idol who I’ve been supporting for years and only saw on screens was there in front of me. Breathing the same air as me. It was overwhelming, I can’t even describe it. Once I stood next to him and the photo was taken we were instantly dragged out by security. I hadn’t yet said anything to Justin, I was speechless but while I was getting dragged out I managed to grab his arm and I kind of whispered asking him for a hug but he couldn’t do anything because security was in the way. He just smiled and winked at me. I was so happy because I thought he would just ignore me as everything was rushed. I can’t really remember anything else it was a blur, it happened too fast but I am extremely grateful it happened. After I got out the room, a lady cut off our wristbands and took them. I just stood in a corner and broke down crying, I couldn’t stop. I was so confused and I didn’t know what had just happened, none of us could remember it properly but thankfully my friend had everything voice recorded on her phone and obviously the photo helped us remember it gradually. Later that night the concert started and again, it felt so unreal to see him in real life. He put on an amazing show. I was so happy and we danced and sang all the way through. I’m writing this days later and I still cannot believe all of this has happened. I never believed that dreams really came true. Whenever people told me that I will meet Justin one day I just thought “yeah whatever” but it actually happened. Please believe me when I tell you that you will meet him, no matter who you are or where you are from. I would like to thank Nadeen for making this happen, I cannot thank her enough and also my friends who made this all even better. And of course Justin for meeting us and for just being so nice to us all. My life has been made. I crossed off the first thing on my bucket list. -@ItsMenna (@BiebsFestival) Read more: My name is Menna and never would I have thought I would be…
