Matt and Carinne began as work friends, sharing a love of microbiology. Over time it grew into something more. After a couple years of dating, they bought their first home together. Matt sent Carinne on a scavenger hunt the following year for her birthday, recounting some of their favorite memories together. As she read the final clue, Carinne turned around, finding Matt patiently waiting with a ring. She said yes, and now they've planned their dream wedding in Big Island, Hawaii and a reception to celebrate with loved ones back home.
