Raquel and Marco met on March 8, 2020. Seven days later they were in the throes of a global pandemic and chose to spend the uncertainty of lockdown and the mandatory binge watching of Tiger King together! Specifically, in Raquel’s 400 sq ft studio apartment. It was a whirlwind 6 months but not a fairytale ending for the two. No, they broke up. But sometimes love is just about timing. 

A year and a half later, after some growing up and a bit of soul-searching the two met again (literally they met in the exact same bar from their first date).  This time there was less uncertainty and more room - approximately 2500 more square footage. However, it was more than just the increase in physical space and fewer face masks - Marco and Raquel found themselves at ease in their newfound relationship.  

In Marco, Raquel has found a best friend for life - someone to laugh endlessly with and lean on for support. She is in constant awe of his abundantly sunny disposition and unending ambition. In Raquel, Marco not only found the person with whom he wants to spend the rest of his life but also a partner who is the most intelligent, generous, and thoughtful person he has ever met. For Marco, every day feels like a new fun adventure when he’s spending it with Raquel.
