On April 16, 2005, Mariano and Brkich were married in a private ceremony at [[Atlantis Paradise Island]] in [[the Bahamas]].

==''The Amazing Race''==
{{main|The Amazing Race 7|The Amazing Race 11}}

===Season 7===
As an engaged couple, Mariano and his fiancée [[Amber Brkich]] participated in the [[The Amazing Race 7|seventh season]] of ''The Amazing Race'' and came in second place.<ref name="dehnart">{{Cite web |last=Dehnart |first=Andy |date=April 25, 2005 |title=Rob and Amber's success hurts 'Amazing Race' |url=https://www.today.com/popculture/rob-ambers-successhurts-amazing-race-wbna7632157 |access-date=June 19, 2023 |website=TODAY.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Wassenaar |first=Cheryl |date=June 23, 2017 |title=Survivor and The Amazing Race: The days of Rob and Amber |url=https://survivingtribal.com/2017/06/23/survivor-amazing-race-share-rob-amber/ |access-date=June 19, 2023 |website=Surviving Tribal |language=en-US}}</ref> During a Roadblock challenge in [[Mendoza, Argentina]], in the third leg of the race, contestants had to eat four pounds of meat. Mariano began the roadblock but very quickly determined he would not or could not eat that quantity. The penalty for not finishing the Roadblock was a four-hour delay. By convincing several other contestants to refuse to participate, he ensured that several contestants were on the same timetable as he and Brkich.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wolk |first=Josh |date=June 14, 2007 |title=''The Amazing Race'': The teams meat their match |url=https://ew.com/recap/amazing-race-teams-meat-their-match/ |access-date=June 19, 2023 |website=EW.com |language=en}}</ref> Also in South America, Mariano pooled his money with some other racers to bribe the bus driver into letting the teams that contributed off earlier. When Mariano bribed the driver, he used none of his own money.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Whitten |first=Lee |date=January 14, 2022 |title=The Amazing Race: Why Season 7 Is One Of The Show's Greatest Seasons |url=https://screenrant.com/amazing-race-season-7-best-season-rob-amber/ |access-date=June 19, 2023 |website=ScreenRant |language=en}}</ref>

In [[Botswana]], during the sixth leg of the race, the couple was criticized by fellow racers, as well as host [[Phil Keoghan]], when they drove by the car accident of another team, brothers Brian and Greg, without stopping. Their fellow competitors all checked in with the brothers prior to continuing on to the next stage of the race.<ref>{{Cite news |last=McFarland |first=Melanie |date=March 31, 2005 |title=Rob and Amber: an 'Amazing' disgrace |url=https://www.seattlepi.com/entertainment/tv/article/Rob-and-Amber-an-Amazing-disgrace-1169772.php |access-date=June 19, 2023 |website=Seattle Post-Intelligencer |language=en}}</ref> In southern Africa, Mariano and Brkich saw their own photo on a magazine cover.<ref name="dehnart" />

Mariano and Brkich ultimately finished in second place behind married couple, Uchenna and Joyce.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Alter |first=Ethan |date=May 16, 2005 |title=Rob and Amber's Agony of Defeat |url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/race-rob-amber-37837/ |access-date=June 19, 2023 |website=TVGuide.com |language=en}}</ref> Amongst fans, there has been much speculation surrounding the final leg of the race. It has been argued that the production crew had intervened with the airport authorities and aided Uchenna and Joyce onto the same, earlier plane as Mariano and Brkich.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 17, 2005 |title=Readers furious about 'Race' finale |url=http://www.today.com/popculture/readers-furious-about-race-finale-1C9481263 |access-date=June 19, 2023 |website=TODAY.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Cooper |first=Gael Fashingbauer |date=May 16, 2005 |title='Amazing Race' finale created lots of questions |url=https://www.today.com/popculture/amazing-race-finale-created-lots-questions-wbna7632857 |access-date=June 19, 2023 |website=TODAY.com |language=en}}</ref> In the "Revisiting the Race" special feature on the Season 7 DVD, Mariano, along with Uchenna and Keoghan, denied these accusations. Mariano describes Uchenna running around frantically trying to get onto the flight, which the final edited version of the show does not portray. Keoghan cites the fact that the decision to re-open the door rested solely with the pilot, and that intervention by the production crew would have resulted in someone leaking such information out.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} Although Mariano and Brkich lost the one million dollar grand prize and ''The Amazing Race 7'' winners' title at the final leg of the race, they managed to win the 2nd, 4th, 7th, and 10th legs.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} They were also the only team to not come in last place on any legs of the race.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}
