Well, a new season of The Bachelorette is almost upon us. But before Hannah Brown begins her search for love with a new round of 32 suitors, it's time to check in on the 14 women who came before her. Host Chris Harrison sat down with most of the previous Bachelorettes this week to film a historic reunion special. Harrison says the result is an eye-opening look at how both the show and the dating scene have changed since 2004. The reunion will air on May 8, just days before Hannah's season premieres on May 13. So join us as we prepare ourselves with a trip down memory lane and a glance at Bachelorettes past: 1. 15 Years of History Chris posted this photo of himself with MOST of the women who handed out roses on the iconic ABC reality show. Two of the past Bachelorettes were unable to attend, but more on that later. 2. Trista Rehn (Season 1) It all started with Trista. She accepted a proposal from Ryan Sutter and the couple later married in a televised ceremony. 3. Still Going Strong Trista and Ryan are now parents to two children. They recently celebrated their 15th anniversary together. 4. Meredith Phillips (Season 2) Next up was Meredith Phillips, who ended her season by getting engaged to Ian McKee. The couple broke up one year later. 5. A Shocking Epilogue Meredith made headlines last year when she revealed that she had been sexually assaulted during her time on the show. Not surprisingly, she opted out of this week’s reunion. 6. Jen Schefft (Season 3) Season 3 had Jen Schefft handing out roses. She rejected Jerry Ferris’ proposal in the finale, later explaining that she saw him more as a friend. View Slideshow
