Contestant's Name: Alysia Entered on 1/3/2003 12:40:45 PM Alysia and Eric met when they were both in a wedding in 2001. Alysia caught the bouquet. The coincidence of this is Alysia's parents also met this way 24 years ago. Her mother and father were in a wedding (actually the parents of the bride of the wedding that Alysia was in)and her mother caught the bouquet and father the garter. They married a year later. Alysia was spellbound by the handsome Eric who came to her to ask her to dance at the reception, holding out his hand. Eric is from Olympia, Washington, and Alysia from Stafford, Connecticut. We think this was meant to be in every way. Eric is in the Marine Corps and came to visit Alysia on a leave on October 5, 2002. On the 7th, he asked her on bended knee, when they went out to dinner, to marry him. This will be a fairy tale wedding as it seems to be following the pattern.
