Rodolfo and Franciane met during the summer of 2017, at Long Branch beach in the state of New Jersey. Franciane was going practice paddle board while Rodolfo was riding a motorcycle. Because they had friends in common they both set at the beach and met for the first time. During the next weeks they met again in a barbecue and decided to go for a trip in Woodstock, New York. That is when everything started. Shortly after that, they started a relationship that ended up with a proposal at the central park Bethesda Fountain.
