In the summer of 2007, Pedro was introduced to Ariel by his brother (their best man) Andrew. They credit Andrew for playing cupid and managing to get them to go on their first date, which was a trip to the Covina AMC theatre to watch the Simpson's Movie. Fun fact: To this day, Pedro keeps that movie ticket tucked away inside the cover of their Simpson's Movie DVD case. At the beginning of their sophomore year in 2007, Pedro asked Ariel to be his girlfriend. They were together for just a few months. Ariel befriended several of Pedro's siblings so the two remained friends throughout high school. They briefly dated again their Junior year. In 2010, Ariel went off to college but they both kept in touch and eventually started dating again in 2011. On November 11, 2011, Pedro took Ariel on a date to Olive Garden and asked her to be his girlfriend, again. ♡ 11-11-11 ♡ Over the years, the two have made countless memories together. One of their favorites being the birth of their son, Niko King Rodriguez, on January 15th of 2020. The past 15 years of being in each other's lives assured those around them that they would get married some day and start a family. In their true, non-conventional fashion, first came love and then came a baby in a baby carriage. To make sure they got the marriage part covered too, Pedro got down on one knee and proposed to Ariel on July 4th, 2021. They've had their fair share of detours but God blessed the broken road that lead them here today. The bride and groom are excited to finally tie the knot and celebrate their marriage with all of you!
