Oh fate…it may even take a few turns, but if it is written in the stars then this is how it will happen! This is exactly how it was with Mariana and Renato.
They studied in the same school, but since it was so big they never crossed paths. Then they went to the same college, but on different courses, and again, nothing. They left before graduating. Some time later they went back, but each one in a different field of study. At a farewell party for one of Mariana´s friends, who was leaving Brazil, Renato and Mariana met and never let each other go.
The first proposal
They dated for 10 years, lived through many stories and adventures together until Renato asked Mariana to marry him. And it was during a trip through Argentina that the proposal happened. “It totally took me by surprise and it was very exciting. Renato was so handsome, and shaking like crazy, as if I were a stranger and as if there was a possibility of my answer being no. Was I really going to miss the chance to marry the guy of my dreams?” says Mariana.
What they both wanted was to live together, without fanfare. But as time passed, life led them to a traditional marriage. Their house was ready, and the desire to celebrate and celebrate love spoke louder.
