Designing Couples: Natalie and Benjamin Javaheri from Uneek

 

How long have you been married? 

It will be two years this October!

Tell us about your proposal and engagement ring 

Benjamin proposed to me in Maui on the beach after a tasting menu and fireworks at spago. I almost ruined the surprise….he wanted to walk on the beach after dinner and I was exhausted and wanted to go back to our room. He literally had to drag me through sprinklers to the beach! He had a touching “speech” about our past and future and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him with a 5 carat cushion diamond ring! I totally didn’t see it coming, I was so surprised! Of course I said yes and suddenly wasn’t very tired anymore.

What is so special about your husband/wife that is the reason she/he is the one for you?

Benjamin is truly amazing in so many ways! He’s a perfect fit for me because we balance each other out. He has the biggest heart of anyone I know, with a kind and generous spirit. He really is the ying to my yang!

Why did you come about working together?

Benjamin and I have a long history, we had previously dated in our early twenties. We kept in touch over the years and he reached out to me about a marketing position since he had heard I was a freelance photographer in my spare time. I had just gotten laid off and his timing could not have been any better! I guess is was meant to be! How do you make it work for our couples who are considering getting into business together? Working together is not easy! It’s really important to leave work at work. Make the extra effort to have date nights not just alone but with friends and try not to talk about work. And try to never talk about work in the bedroom, especially if it’s about something stressful and negative.

Aside from work, any tips for couples who are about to get engaged and really want the everlasting part to work?

I know you always here this but it’s because it’s so true! Communication is key! Be open with your partner, don’t hold things in until they build up and you feel resentful. Most of the time just having a quick chat about something makes everything better!
