Samantha and Marco's Love Story Began back in Spring 2011. Marco was on his last semester at CSUDH. Samantha decided to attend a Latino Student Business Association meeting, where Marco happens to be promoting a Dance Benefit Concert. Samantha loves dancing, and of course, she signed up. However, Samantha missed adding her contact details. Marco walked around to get the signup sheet and got to the end of the group where Samantha sat. Samantha, the professional she is, introduced herself to Marco and shook his hand. Marco immediately fell in love at first sight. Leaving the meeting, he called Nata, Best Man, and raved about Samantha. As the Dance Benefit Concert rehearsals began, Marco and Samantha felt a connection. They quickly realized they had a lot of things in common; they shared mutual taste in food, music and much more. What stood out the most was their shared love for dancing!

Fast-forwarding to Summer 2018; Marco and Samantha have two lovely children, Nathaniel (6) and Genevieve (2). Samantha is one busy woman. She is a mother of two, working professional, and full-time MBA student. Marco determined for a Date Night. He asked Samantha what date she was available on the upcoming weekend. Samantha looks at her Agenda, and says "I can pencil us for Friday or Sunday." Marco played along and booked Sunday. Little did Samantha know Marco would be proposing. Doing a rapid change, Marco messed with Samantha and asked to reschedule to Friday instead. On July 20th, 2018, Marco asked Samantha to leave work on time and get home to get ready for date night. Marco teased Samantha that dinner was about an hour away, and rather surprised her by taking her to Sky Space in Downtown Los Angeles. What a sight, viewing Los Angeles right at Sunset. Following the romantic view. Marco surprised Samantha with dinner at the 71Above Restaurant where Marco got on one knee and asked Samantha "Will you Marry Me?" and Samantha said "YES!"
