Our Story/Nossa História

Brandon and Giovanna have always trusted in God’s perfect plan for their lives, knowing that every step, no matter how uncertain, led them to each other. Through His divine timing, they've seen His promises come to life in a way that only He could orchestrate. Their love feels destined, and the work God has done in such a short time has been nothing short of miraculous.

Brandon, from Tampa, Florida, and Giovanna, from São Paulo, Brazil, each had their own paths before meeting. Giovanna had been living in Boston since 2019, and she had already planned to move to Tampa long before she knew Brandon. During a 4th of July trip, Giovanna’s family visited Florida, and as an amusement park enthusiast, she knew Busch Gardens was a must. It was there that they exchanged their first messages—Brandon suggesting roller coasters—but the conversation didn’t develop much. Little did they know, this was the first step in a beautiful journey designed by God.

Shortly after, they both attended the same church service in Danbury, Connecticut. Brandon noticed Giovanna, but they didn’t interact. Time passed until one night, while her brothers were in Florida, Giovanna replied to a story of Brandon’s about a Brazilian pizzeria. Their conversation flowed for hours, deepening their connection in a way that could only be guided by God.

Their first personal meeting took place in Fall River, where Brandon was attending a church service. Though they had met briefly before, they were still friends. Their first photo together was taken in Danbury. Later, Giovanna and her brothers stayed at Brandon’s house for a church event, and after a weekend of deep connection, they felt God prompting them to seek His confirmation to begin a relationship.

Brandon asked Giovanna to be his girlfriend and met her parents. Their first family trip was to New York City, where he gave her a promise ring. Their love blossomed quickly, nurtured by their shared faith. After a period of long distance, Giovanna moved to Florida with her family in December. Since then, they have experienced God’s blessings in abundance, and their relationship has continued to deepen.

On November 25, 2022, Brandon asked Giovanna to be his girlfriend. On November 10, 2023, in New York City, he proposed, sealing their commitment before God. On March 9, 2025, they will become one, embarking on the beautiful journey God has planned for them.
