How it was like to meet the Phelps Twins !

Maybe some of you have seen my post with the pictures that my friend shot of the twins. I would like to tell you how it was like to meet them, it’s was an amazing experience and I hope I’ll meet them again once in my life. 

I’ve met the twins on October, 22 2017 in Gent, Belgium. There was a convention named F.A.C.T.S. I immediately bought my ticket when I knew the twins came to that convention. Because that would be my only chance to meet them. I can tell you I paid a lot for going on a picture with them and I didn’t ask for their signature because they also asked a lot for their signature. I’m also more a picture girl so I like to collect pictures with famous people instead of asking their signature. 

SIGNING SESSION

My friend wanted a signature, so when we arrived at F.A.C.T.S. we immediately ran to the signing session. At 10 o’clock I saw the twins coming behind a red curtain and saw how they took place in their chair. We had to wait in line (obviously). I was a bit nervous because I thought that I wasn’t allowed to wait in line with my friend (because I wouldn’t ask a signature). I asked a co-worker if it was okay that I stood in the line with my friend, even if I didn’t want to have a signature. The co-worker smiled and asked: “Do you want to say hi?” - And I was like: “Yes of course!” The co - worker smiled and said it was okay and that I could wait in line to say hi. 

Finally it was my friend his turn to ask a signature, but first we had to choose a picture. You could also let them sign funko’s or books or something else ... We chose a picture and I walked next to my friend. James and Oliver of course said ‘hi’ to my friend, because he was there for a signature. So I stood there a bit awkwardly .. James shook my friend his hand and signed his picture, in the meantime Oliver started a conversation with my friend.

Oliver: Hi, how are you?

Friend: Good thank you.

Oliver: Do you live far from here?

Friend: ... (looks to me with a ‘help - face’, because he’s bad in English)

Fien (= me): what I thought: Stay cool Fien, it’s just Oliver. Keep on breathing.

Fien (= me): what I said: “We drove maybe 30 minutes.”

Oliver: (looked at me and smiled). “Oh, that’s not that far! And did you have to wait long in line to get a signature?”

Friend: ... (looks to me again with a ‘help - face’) 

Fien (= me): No, also 30 minutes. So it’s okay. *smile*

James: Well thank you for waiting so long! 

Fien (=me): It’s worth waiting for ! 

Twins: * both smile *

Friend: Can I have a picture with you?

--> The twins wanted to say ‘yes’. But there was a blond woman and she immediately said: NO. The twins looked a bit ‘sad’ and thanked my friend for asking it. After that we said goodbye and left. 

At 12:30 the twins had a Q&A panel. After the Q&A you could wait in line for a photoshoot session. 

PHOTOSHOOT SESSION: 

My friend and I stood in line and I said to my friend: Can I ask you one thing? I want to stand next to James if you don’t mind (I know it sounds rude, but James is my precious and I love him so much). My friend was like okay but I don’t know who James is .. I said: It’s the one with the red shirt ! 

Finally it was our turn to go on the picture. It went very very fast and there was no time for a little chat. I was so nervous and I can’t even remember that I said hi to Oliver.. I just walked straight to James and said HI ! James immediately smiled and said: ‘Hi there!’ . Suddenly he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close. I was a bit in shock, because the co-workers told us that we weren’t allow to touch them or hug them. So James pulled me close and I was like: ‘keep breathing, smile girl’. After the picture James and I looked to each other and said simultaneously to each other: “Thank you very much!” and we both smiled. And before I knew it they were already taking another picture with someone else. 

When I received my picture, I just started to cry. I was so happy but also a bit sad. There were just so many things that I wanted to say, but there was no time for that. And I also felt a bit guilty that I didn’t say ‘hi’ to Oliver and that I didn’t thank him too for the picture.. (I still feel guilty about it) :( 

I must say that it was one of the best things that happened to me and I’m so grateful for it. Every time when I’m sad, I just look to my picture and think about what happened and I immediately become happy again. James and Oliver are so kind and have a lot of patience. They were smiling the whole day and they’re so thankful. I really hope that every single one of you that is a big fan of James and Oliver also will get the chance to meet them. 

Just remember: dreams can come true !
