This week in November 1999, David and Erica made their first appearance as a couple at Palmer and Vanessa's weeding reception.

Rio de Janeiro June 1999

DAVID: WITH ANYBODY. BUT ESPECIALLY YOU. YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON DEEP INSIDE YOU AND HOW TO LET IT OUT -- WHETHER IT'S THROUGH A SMILE OR A SMALL GOLDEN HAND MIRROR.

ERICA:I'M SORRY. I AM VERY IMPULSIVE, THAT'S TRUE.

DAVID: NO, YOU ARE MORE YOURSELF THAN ANYBODY I'VE EVER KNOWN. AND, ERICA, IT'S NOT JUST A CHILD WHO LOOKS FOR THAT. A MAN LOOKS FOR THAT IN A WOMAN, AND IT'S A LOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN BEING PHYSICALLY BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT.

ERICA: YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE MY LIFE COULD CHANGE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WHAT REALLY HAPPENS IF, AS A WOMAN, I'M JUST NOT ATTRACTIVE?

DAVID: ERICA, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE BEAUTIFUL. LIGHT WILL ALWAYS SHINE FROM THOSE EYES, FROM DEEP WITHIN, WARM AND INVITING, LEADING MEN HOME.

Still in Rio, David and Erica share their second kiss.
