Former Mets catcher Paul Lo Duca is set to wed Rietsa Lelekakis in a Greek Orthodox ceremony in January 2009. Lo Duca met Lelekakis two years ago, when he saw her singing and dancing at Ultra Lounge, a Garden City nightclub.

“When I saw her, I asked the owner, ‘Who is that girl?’ He introduced us, and she didn’t give me the time of day.”

Lo Duca was persistant and eventually won her over. He proposed at her 28th birthday party at their Westbury home.
