How did the two of you meet ?
Rui and I were going on a triple date with some mutual friends at the time. We were supposed to catch a movie, but ended up at a bar for hours and hours. After that, we managed to talk on the phone for hours on end and hang out day after day. Rui claims that’s when he knew I was the one for him.
How long have you been together ?
We’ve been together and in love for over 3 years now.
Tell us about your favorite date together.
We wish we could! Our favorite date cannot be narrowed down to just one. All of our dates have been memorable and completely different from each other.
What is your favorite thing about one another ?
My favorite thing about Natasha is her ability to allow him to be himself and how unselfish she is. She is always sacrificing so that I can be happy.
My favorite thing about Rui is how he always manages to put a smile on my face. Whether it’s with a laugh or something incredibly sweet – he never fails turning my frowns upside down! 
How did he propose ?
Rui took me to the first restaurant where we had enjoyed our first dinner date. We made it back to his place, and as soon as I walked in I froze. The lights were dim and there was a long trail of rose petals through the house. At the end of the trail was a box, and it was empty. When I turned around he was on his knee with roses and ring in hand. It was one of the outmost fairy tale-like moments I’ve experienced with this amazing man. Needless to say, I said yes!
All of us at Studio Cabral wish Natasha and Rui all the best in their new life together.
