Jibri, a 28-year-old band frontman from Rapid City, SD, was living in Los Angeles, CA, when he met Miona, a 23-year-old makeup artist from Nis, Serbia, while touring with his band called Black Serbs, who create "space punk music," in Serbia.RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?

Jibri said they got engaged in Thailand and then she planned to move to South Dakota on a K-1 visa. While Jibri thought Rapid City was "a hidden gem" and they could save money by living with his parents for awhile, Miona preferred moving to a big city like Los Angeles, CA.
"I definitely can't provide for the Kardashian lifestyle Miona is used to," Jibri lamented. "Historically, I haven't been smart with my money, and so that's something I'm really trying to work on for the next year."
Jibri told the cameras that Los Angeles could maybe happen one day, but not any time soon. He planned to live in South Dakota for six to 12 months and possibly get married there.
Miona then finally arrived in America, and Jibri said it felt amazing to be reunited with the love of his life, an aspiring makeup artist.
"America is usually always represented as a perfect life and chasing the American dream, so I definitely expect a better standard and way of living. And Jibri promised that we would move to [L.A.]. If that doesn't happen, then I would want to leave," Miona said in a confessional.
When Jibri proceeded to give Miona a tour through Rapid City, she was disappointed by the scenery and noted, "There is nothing."
Jibri and Miona hit more bumps in the road when they began living together under the roof of Jibri's parents' home.
Miona and Jibri's best friend, who's more like a brother, didn't get along, and Jibri accused Miona of being "rude and inconsiderate," especially because his music depended on maintaining a strong relationship with David.
David thought Miona was a distraction as well as Miona's main priority, which he didn't think would benefit Jibri's career and personal goals.
"I feel like I did give up the band for her. I don't know how to do both... I just don't want to get distracted and lost and give up on my dream. I got in a little over my head... It's just a lot, man," Jibri lamented to David after a recording session.

"It makes me feel like a kid again, so honestly, she's pushing me to want to move out of here even more. I'm definitely going to tell that to Jibri after today," Miona noted.
Mahala wasn't sure she could support Jibri marrying Miona within 90 days because she didn't know Miona well enough yet.
Miona also wanted an expensive beach wedding when Jibri felt he really couldn't afford it.
After Miona was shown trying on wedding dresses, Jibri confessed that if he had more time, he'd postpone the wedding -- but he knew he didn't have that luxury.
With 39 days left to wed, Jibri opened up to Miona about how he was feeling. Jibri said he felt immense pressure and stress as well as "conflicting emotions," and Miona seemed ready and willing to listen.
Miona believed Jibri's parents were trying to influence him and he needed to step away from them and "act like a man" if he wanted their relationship to succeed.

But Miona admitted she would leave Jibri if he wanted to delay their wedding. She said she'd never return to Serbia and continue dating Jibri long-distance. She thought Jibri was being very selfish and needed to grow up.
Jibri was afraid Miona was going to end the relationship if her demands couldn't be met, and Miona was upset about Jibri feeling so "doubtful."
Jibri's father said if Miona was willing to leave Jibri, then she didn't love him or was as committed as she had said, but Miona said Jibri refusing to marry her would essentially be a betrayal.
"It would be throwing everything away we did and fought for," Miona explained.
Mahala called Jibri's romance "fragile" and didn't think her son's marriage was going to last. Mahala and her husband also determined they couldn't attend their son's wedding because it was planned so last minute.

Mahala thought her son was being pressured to do something he didn't want to do.
Jibri said he saw potential in Miona for them to create an amazing life together, but he wanted them to be co-stars in a movie rather than starring in their own respective movies.
Jibri therefore confronted Miona about his concerns, and she agreed to find ways to be a little more independent in South Dakota.
With only five weeks left on their K-1 visa, Miona suggested they could elope in California, but she said she was never going to come around to a "freezing" South Dakota wedding.
Jibri and Miona discussed eloping and then planning a big wedding a later date so Jibri and Miona's families could both attend. An elopement would allow the couple to save their money for a big event later on, and Miona was interested in marrying at Joshua Tree National Park.
Miona thought Mahala had been nice and accepting of her plans, but Mahala vented to her husband about the whole situation. Jibri's father thought it was "bullsh-t" and said there wasn't a single person who supported this "trainwreck" of a marriage.

Jibri's parents Brian and Mahala then sat down with the couple after a few months of living together. Brian brought up Jibri and Miona moving out by the end of the year, which was another whole month away, and so Jibri felt he was being kicked out.
Jibri said the way his parents were acting was "bullsh-it" and they weren't being supportive or helping them out. He called the conversation a slap in his face.
Miona felt bad for Jibri and said she felt horrible, but at the same time, she was ready to move forward with her future husband.

Jibri and Miona were subsequently shown moving out of their parents' house and driving to Joshua Tree, where they planned to get married.
Miona was happy to be on her own with Jibri, and she said, "We are finally starting to live like a normal couple should... We are finally feeling free and I'm definitely counting down the days until the wedding. It's exciting."
Jibri was hoping his parents would pop up and surprise him at the wedding, but it didn't seem like his parents were planning anything.
Jibri promised his parents that they'd be proud of him, but they believed he was acting too impulsively.
Mahala said not being able to go to his son's wedding was a painful consequence of Jibri's decisions.
So did Miona and Jibri break up or get married, and is the 90 Day Fiance couple still together now?

It appeared the couple was still living in South Dakota in May. Many of the couple's videos featured a prairie landscape in the background at the time, and Jibri also tagged his location as South Dakota in early May.
According to Miona and Jibri's Instagram accounts, they got engaged in December 2019.
"She said YES!!!" Jibri captioned a photo of the couple posing at sunset in Thailand.
"For those of you who truly know me know that I'm usually not nervous or scared to do anything... but this had my palms sweating... I'm talking almost dropped the ring and put it on the wrong finger!"
He added, "Thank you for inspiring me and speaking to my heart. Today marks a new chapter for both of us."
Six months after the couple got engaged, Jibri referred to Miona as his "wife" when speaking with a Serbian news publication, Telegraf, in June 2020.
"It's always been my second home, a home away from home for me," Jibri said at the time of Serbia.
He added, "My wife's Serbian, and my life's Serbian, and everything Serbian to me is right. Serbia is my second home and I want everyone to see and see how open and friendly it is here."
