Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Carina, 31, revealed the details of their brief connection and how their shared past added an unexpected twist to her wedding day. 'When we met on the app, he was working FIFO and away at the mines, so we didn't chat much. But when he came back, we went on a hike together. It was a really nice time, but after that, we didn't meet up again.'.

Carina revealed that their brief history didn't leave a lasting impression at the time, saying, 'It fizzled out pretty quickly.'. 'I don't think either of us was in the right frame of mind back then. It didn't bother me at the time—I was going through my own thing as well.'.
