With the crucifix as the central focal point of the photo symbolizing the couples' faith as central to their relationship, Isadora and Victor recite their wedding vows in front of their immediate family members and friends.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic required Isadora and Victor to re-imagine their wedding day. Despite the fact that it was a smaller and simpler celebration than they had originally planned, they were truly happy to begin their lives together during a moving religious ceremony in the Church of São Gonçalo in Maceio, Alagaos, Brazil.
