Carissa and Michael first met each other on October 2nd in 2022 for their first of many dates. This was a quick lunch together, and “quick” because Michael cut it short due to thinking that Carissa was cold. However, this encounter was only the beginning of many memories created together. Soon, they would go on their first trip to Tennessee for a week, and they would later travel to Rome, Florence, London, Amsterdam, the Bahamas, and the DR. They both share a love for trying new foods, experiencing other cultures, and exploring nature.
