I’ve been twittering for the past week about a surprise that I was organising for Emma. It’s always hard to get Emma to show her excitement in anticipation of a surprise like that. She hides it well. Partially because she knows it bothers me that it looks like she doesn’t care! But, with the public clues on Twitter and my misdirection throughout the week, she tried to hide her curiosity but it didn’t work. It all got the better of her by Friday evening.
Win 1 for me! ha!
Anyway, let me explain just some of what I had organised.
I rented one of the largest suites in the five star Radisson SAS hotel in Belfast city centre. This was a major upgrade from their normal room that included a separate living area with a leather suite, a 40 inch TV, a DVD player and air conditioning. It also had the largest bathroom I’ve ever seen that included a massive bath, two sinks and a shower with the funkiest tap thing I’ve ever seen. The room was on one of the top floors so from the window Emma had a great view of the city lights.
In addition to this, I also upgrade the service to something called a touch of luxury that included Champaign, chocolate covered strawberries, fresh fruit, slippers and a dressing gown and a few other things that I can’t remember off hand at the moment. It was way way more than Emma had expected!
The hotel was only one part of it though. I also had to do the usual thing of organising a meal. This was in a new restaurant that was also five star called Burbin. Don’t get me wrong. I’m usually not bothered by how many stars something is or how sophisticated they say they are but I wanted to make this whole thing something that Emma had never experienced before.
There were a few other things organised as well but I won’t go into everything here.
I’ve a few pictures from Sunday night shown below.

damn! you went all out! so what were those other things you won’t ogo into! come on! now! you can’t expect to say something like that and not at least have a bit of your readers being slightly curious can you?
anyway, that sounded very romantic. go you!
