Our Love Story - NUESTRA HISTORIA

From a morning day party to sharing our lives together… Our love story is one for the books, we are excited to share it with you…


Rodney “I’m going to go dance at Daybreaker at 7am in the morning”. 

Martha “I’m going to dance at Daybreaker at 7 am in the morning.”

Rodney and Martha when they see each other. “Hey you”. 

Rodney and Martha to each other “ I like your vibe, let’s get coffee. “

Martha “Lets meet for coffee and then have dinner the next night” 

Rodney “Let’s start with just coffee for now” 

Martha thinks “Is this person testing me? Doesn’t he already sense and know how magical I am?”

Martha passes the non-test test and they share tea and have a dinner date the next night. 

They’ve been hanging out ever since. Or rather- dating with immense joy ever since …

And while it was seen as exclusive and implied to be official, it wasn’t until another dance- this time a Marshmello concert in the pouring rain in Philadelphia-when Rodney bought Martha clean, dry socks before the train back home and asked her officially “Will you be my girlfriend?” 

She said “yes”. 

A couple years later they moved to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York one week before the pandemic. They learned a lot about each other, created many more inside jokes and songs and even started their own journey of raising house plants. 

Then in January 2022, Rodney planned to include music one more time, and hired a Mariachi band to play for Martha and propose to their music at Washington Square Park. Little did he know he’d be the one to be surprised. But not by Martha, by about a foot of snow with an unexpected blizzard. 

If Martha were to have her ideal proposal she mentioned on a quiet beach. Rodney figured the blizzard wasn’t the beach but it was water – and an adventure and involved memorable temperature… 

And while the Maraiachi cancelled to something about “not having water proof instruments… yada yada.” Rodney carried on and proposed in the pouring snow. 

Rodney “Te casarías conmigo” 

Martha “Yes. ….. … 
….
….
I mean ‘Si’” 

Please join us in Mexico where the mariachi won’t have any blizzard excuses and we can all dance together.

Martha’s favorite things about Rodney:  

His humor, his joy, his love for nature, his kindness, his art, how loving and fun he is, how much he loves adventure. His kind and beautiful eyes, his big heart, the peace that he brings to everyone around him. How talented he is performing and doing music. His love for dancing, music, and marathons.

Lo que Martha ama de Rodney:

Su humor, su gozo, su amor por la naturaleza, su bondad, su don artístico, lo amoroso y divertido que es, su amor por la aventura. Su mirada llena de amor, sus ojos, su gran corazón, y la paz que lleva a cualquier lugar que va. Lo talentoso que es como actor y músico. Su pasión por el baile, la música y los maratones.

How beautiful she is, the light that she is, her creativity, her compassion for others, the biggest heart in the world, the way she can make anyone feel at home, how brilliant her vision is for the future and the many ways she helps others articulate their visions, the way she dances and loves music.

Lo que Rodney ama de Martha:

Lo hermosa que es, la luz brillante que es, su creatividad, su compasión por los demás, el corazón más grande del mundo, su manera de hacer a todos sentirse como en casa en su presencia, lo brillante que es para crear una visión del futuro para ella y nosotros, y las multiples formas en que ayuda a otros a crear una visión propia expansiva, la manera en que ama bailar, cantar y la música.
