The Big Day

On October 5, 2014, Joana and Tyrel got married. Within a month of Joana’s moving to the U.S., they became family. Sadly, Joana’s family wasn’t approved for Visa and participated in the marriage through Skype. With her family miles away, Joana was alone in the new city with new people and Tyrel was the only person who she felt comfortable with at first. Tyrel’s family did something special for Joana and her family back home, something that made all of them emotional.
