Later on we are going to do a full media update....we have already posted all of this on the runawaybrideandgroom Facebook page, but we will show you again all the pieces that helped us to get where we are today. Wow, how can we ever forget that article in the Correio Popular of Campinas, Dani's home city...it changed everything and definitely has a special place here.
For us every single published article means the world. Not because we are media hogs (to be honest, we are much more used to be behind the microphone and camera - even though we could definitely get used to the attention), but because everyone who wrote about us showed they also believed on our potential. And, loved the Ultimate Job story!!
But for now, we want to share with you an article that was published by the online Epoca Negocios magazine, and spent most of yesterday on the front page of the news website globo.com, the Brazilian media giant knowing worldwide for its soap operas.
The article in Epoca Negocios is about dreams, love and the Ultimate Job. It describes superbly Dani's journey since she left Brazil, from the time when she was working as a waitress in a fancy Portobello Road restaurant and saved every penny to travel and pay for her studies. It also tells our love story, and seems to have caught people's imagination. By the end of the day it was the fourth most read news article on the whole site, and we got more than 5,000 views on our video yesterday.And, many, many comments from new friends :)
Well, here is a translation of a portion of the article for you guys to have a glimpse!

Article by Soraia Yoshida
'The dream job for any couple in love and passionate for travelling is closer to a Brazilian. With a South African boyfriend and living in Ireland, Daniela Griss is in between a group of 10 couples finalists to conquer the "dream job": to travel through paradisiacal places testing the recipe for the perfect honeymoon. The competition promoted by the company Runaway Bride & Groom, which realizes weedings in Ireland and in any other place in the world, gets to an end on the 9th of May. Like it happens with the candidates for president in Brazil, Daniela is in full campaign to convice the judges that ther and her loved one are the best team to 'test the honeymoon.'
'To pay for her travels, the Brazilian followed the example of many others in Europe: she used to hold down many jobs to save money. It has been like this since she left Porto Alegre for London to study English. Working as a waitress in a restaurante in Portobello Road in upmarket Notthing Hill (do you remember Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant?), she learned the language and saved enouth pounds to pay for an MA in International Journalism.' 'It was at the end of the Masters that she met, by chance, her boyfriend. 'I used to share a house with many people, and there was also a South African housemate that went to travel and said that ther boyfriend's brother was going to spend some time in the house. One day, in the kitchen, I bumped into Dave, liked him, and that was it', she says.'
'When Dave decided to move to Ireland, where his brother was living, Daniela liked it even more. They ended up in Galway, a city on the west coast of ireland. Apart from sharing the love for travelling, both also enjoy bodyboarding - and surf in the North Atlantic. 'The water is reaaaallly cold'. Though this was the good part, it was difficult to stay apart for one year while Daniela was studying International Studies in South Africa. But with the help of the internet and phone, they managed to keep the relationship going. 'Well, it was really hard, but everything worked out', she recalls.'
