What is America's Favorite Couple?

How did your love story begin?

Over dinner and Christmas lights. We were both so timid and intimidated by the other one. We used Google translate a lot because my Portuguese is very little and Valteir didn’t realize his English was as good as it was.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Laying in bed and discussing our past, our future, both scared the other would be ready to give up because of the language. Waking up one morning and deciding to call out of work and run away to get married.

What would you do with $20,000?

A lot. We would pay off bills and celebrate his green card being issued with a small vacation and the rest going towards building a house in the most beautiful mountains in the US, Blue Ridge.
