They met in Mexico, at a corner store that sold marble statues. Ashley was always interested in statues since her father was a sculptor. Anyway, she was admiring a statue and slipped and fell and broke the statures finger off. The clerk happened to be her future husband and he glued the finger back on, but not before asking her for a date.

Honeymoon: Hawaii

Number: 6
Aislinn was born in Ireland but moved to the United States when she was very young. There she was exposed to hockey and she loved it. In college she met hockey player Nolan DeWitte, and they fell in love. If only it was that easy. In all honesty, Aislinn couldn't stand Nolan, because he always thought he was the best, in academics, sports, anything you would name he would claim. When he was injuried and no longer able to play hockey, Aislinn laughed, knowing he wasn't so superior to anyone anymore. When they ran into each other two years after Nolan had graduated from Cornell University, where they both studied, he ran into Aislinn unexpectedly. Aislinn had forgotten about he and they dated. Two years later they married, happily in love. They decided that Louisville, Colorado would be a perfect place for their hockey loving hearts.

Ernst and Ginny were introduced by mutual friends at a Christmas party and hit it off right away but he forgot to ask for her phone number. He got the number from his friend and it took some courage for him to call the gorgeous girl he'd met. She was so excited when he did call and they began dating and getting to know each other. After six months Ernst was sure that Ginny was the one and he asked her to marry him after a wonderful night at a play and dinner. Their wedding was Victorian themed and they spent their honeymoon in Ireland.
