Garrett and Marissa met while working at Moonlite Lanes in Santa Clara. At 19 and 22 years old, they started as co-workers then became good friends. Garrett asked Marissa on their first date in November where they enjoyed a steakhouse dinner followed by mini golf and arcade games.
While on vacation in Maui with Garrett's family, after a long day of sightseeing and a delicious dinner with Mai Tai's, Garrett took Marissa to Ulua Beach at sunset. Once the entourage of family photographers were ready, Garrett asked Marissa if she would marry him. After the shock was overcome, Marissa said of course!
