Our Wedding

Fate has a fantastic sense of humor. Imagine this: a Brazilian girl crosses an entire ocean to move to Memphis, Tennessee, having no idea that the love of her life was right there—waiting with two names and a suspicious credit card. We met on a dating app, and on our first dinner date, everything seemed normal—until he paid the bill with a card that said “John,” even though his name on the app was “Jack.” My mind went wild: “Is that his dad’s card? Does he have a secret identity? Did I just fall for a scam?” But luckily, he was just a guy with a different name on his card (and no sketchy business involved). Between laughter, mixed accents, and way too many coincidences, we realized our story was meant to be. After spending 24 and 28 years on opposite sides of the map, we somehow found each other at the right place, at the right time. And if that’s not fate, we don’t know what is!
