São José Church

Façade of São José Church in Porto Alegre

São José Church is a traditional Catholic church built by the German immigrant community, preserving this important historical and cultural legacy to this day.

More than a temple, São José Church represents the continuity of a tradition that spans generations: it was in this church that the bride's grandparents and parents celebrated their marriage. By holding their wedding at the same altar, the couple renews this family history and continues a tradition that reaches the third generation.

Gift Registry

Your presence is our greatest gift. For those who wish to give us something, we have put together a registry to make the honeymoon of our dreams come true, which we will take already at the beginning of December: Paris, the castles of the Loire Valley, and the bay of Mont Saint-Michel, with a stop in Saint-Malo.

Every contribution received will go toward a concrete experience of this trip: a night, a meal, a castle visit, a wine tasting. These will be memories we will carry with us forever, and you will be part of them.
