We met at the "soccer house" the house where Tato and several of his teammates lived. It was soccer preseason, Carly had just sprained her ankle and was wearing a boot and Tato had fractured his thumb. Carly said to him, very cleverly, "Do you want to be cripples together?" They played beer pong as a team and finally made it official the next semester. And now, Carly and Tato will be together forever.

Tato was visiting Carly in New York City. He took her to the restaurant they went to for their first date, El Cocotero, a Venezuelan restaurant. Carly wanted to eat another areapa, but Tato insisted they needed to leave. So they paid the check, and when they walked out of the restaurant he got down on one knee. Carly cried and grabbed the box from him and said "It's so shiny!" She said yes, but there was no second arepa.
