Once upon a time there were two people who grew up on opposite sides of the world. One of them, Brunno "Fofinho" Telma grew up near the city of Curitiba - in South Brazil. He spent his days making robots and programming computers and driving his motorcycle around in his motorcycle gang of everyone over 40. The other one, Bethany Armistead, grew up on an island in Indonesia running around the neighborhood talking to everyone and swimming in any lake or ocean she could find. It didn't seem that these two humans would ever meet, but God had other plans....
Through a series of unexpected and somewhat miraculous events Brunno and Bethany both ended up at Liberty University. Bethany met him through a mutual friend and took pity on him because he seemed to be lost and they became best friends. They were friends for quite some time and the afore mentioned mutual friend would make sure to check every week if they were dating or interested in dating, as did everyone else around them. They, however, were happy to remain good friends. It wasn't till Bethany went to Brazil and accidentally ended up living with his family for 3 months that things began to change. And, much to the relief of everyone around them, they began dating in June 2020.
Brunno and Bethany decided they like each other so much that they want to continue dating for the rest of their lives and become a family, so they got engaged over Christmas 2021. Now, we invite you all to join us and share with us in the story that God has written with our lives by coming to our wedding August 7th. There was a lot more to this story, and there will be a lot more to this story in the future but it would not be half as beautiful, or even possible, without those who have walked alongside us throughout this process. So we want to say thank you to all of our friends and family and we hope to see you there :)
