Couple Photoshoot in Monsanto — Joana & João
Oh, that's right! Joana was my physiotherapist in 2019, during the final stages of my left arm recovery after surgery (that's a story for another day). She was the one who helped me get back in shape, just before the pandemic hit us hard.
During our sessions, while she was making me suffer a little (because physiotherapy can be painful), we would talk about this topic. We discussed how she wished for a wedding to happen, how, when, expectations, and dreams.

Later, we would meet with Andreia's family, who were also there to surprise her and congratulate them on their engagement.
