Roderick and Dimitri met on January 26, 2013 at Remington Restaurant in The St. Regis Houston Hotel. Roderick was playing the keyboards with the All Stars when Dimitri first noticed his over-the-top performance behind the keyboards. Roderick first noticed Dimitri when she walked across the floor heading to the bar area in a short blue asymmetric dress. During Roderick’s break he approach the lady in the blue dress and they talked until it was time for him to perform his last set of the night. Dimitri gave him her number after telling him that he was cute. After his gig, he called Dimitri and they chatted until early morning. Before ending the call, Roderick asked Dimitri to dinner that evening. The two hit it off from day one and dinner was followed by another dinner, and another dinner, then homemade dinners and before they knew it, Roderick and Dimitri were spending every available minute together. The Proposal Dimitri and Roderick attended six eight hour pre-marital sessions classes to see if they were both on the same page mentally and spiritually. During this time their love for each other grew even stronger. Roderick planned to propose to Dimitri soon after completing the class, so on Saturday, March 16, 2013; Roderick and Dimitri enjoyed dinner in Galveston and a leisurely walk while talking about various topics discussed during the sessions. As the sun was going down they walked onto one of the piers and Dimitri had a great idea to pretend they were on the Titanic. So, Roderick helped Dimitri climb on the edge of the rock and stood behind her while their eyes were closed pretending they were on the Titanic. She was standing up on a rock when a wave came crashing against the rock and scared the lights out of her. When she jumped off the rock and turned around, Roderick was down on his knees where he presented a speechless Dimitri with his mother’s exquisite engagement ring. It was an amazingly romantic setting and a perfect moment.
