In a story that has drawn wide attention, former nun Lais Dognini and Father Jackson Dognini, both formerly in the Roman Catholic Church, have defied convention by leaving their religious vocations to wed.

Their unusual love story began when Lais, suffering from depression, approached Father Jackson for spiritual guidance. Their bond deepened through prayer sessions and companionship, eventually evolving into love.

After departing from the convent and embracing life as an influencer, Lais reconnected with Jackson, who was himself re-evaluating his role in the Church.

The two tied the knot privately in March 2025, but only recently made their marriage public via Instagram with beautiful photos of the ceremony. Their decision has sparked both praise and criticism: some view it as a betrayal of sacred vows, others see it as a courageous expression of their humanity and love.
