What started with conversations on Tinder became a routine of weekly trips between Belo Horizonte and Divinópolis. It was during this back and forth on the roads that professor Mislaine da Cruz Pereira and systems analyst Helison Santos lived the first chapters of a romance that ended in marriage, moving to another city and many memories linked to the hours on the bus.
To g1, the couple recalled the first months of their relationship on Valentine's Day, celebrated this Friday (12).
"We met on January 30, 2018 and, in March, we were already engaged. We traveled every week to see each other, and that bus became part of our story", said Mislaine.

The approach was made possible thanks to a 50% promotion on Viação Irmãos Teixeira tickets. When the campaign threatened to end, Mislaine and friends began commenting on social media to ask for the discount to be maintained.
The engagement was so great that the company not only extended the action, but also gifted the couple with family transportation on their wedding day.

On September 22, 2018, Mislaine and Helison said 'yes' in Divinópolis. In addition to taking guests, one of the busses became the setting for the couple's photoshoot.
"Teixeira was not just the bus company, but the means that allowed us to see each other, build our history and form our family", said Mislaine.
The relationship went beyond the limits of transportation. When Mislaine became pregnant, back in 2018, the company even made a post celebrating that 'Mr. Teixeira' would be a grandfather. The pregnancy, however, ended sadly, with the loss of her daughter after 34 weeks.
"It was a painful moment, but we felt welcomed, remembered with affection. This humanized the posts. They were real people. Other couples also had their stories told on the company's Instagram. Teixeira stopped being just the bus company, it became the means that made it possible to see Helison, before the wedding and now, my family who lives in Ribeirão das Neves", he said.

Connection with company remained
Today, residing in Divinópolis after being removed as a teacher from the state school, Mislaine says that the connection with the company continues.
"When I get in touch, it is Mr. Teixeira himself who responds. As it is a family company, they made us feel part of that family too", he said.
The couple's story was shared at different times on the company's Instagram and, according to the company, it is a way of highlighting stories of togetherness.
"We are very happy to participate in so many stages of this couple's story. From the beginning of their courtship, to transporting guests at the wedding, to serving as a backdrop for unforgettable photos. To this day we remain in touch and they continue to be very special to us. A story that began on our paths and is now also part of ours", said the Irmãos Teixeira Company in a statement.
