It was chemistry that brought Rachel Addy (30, a pharmacist) and Nicholas Marra (33, also a pharmacist) together—both literally and figuratively. The couple met walking to pharmacy school orientation at Rutgers University, and after a year of close friendship began dating. About five years later—and with two pharmacy degrees under their belts—Nick proposed on the beach on Christmas Day surrounded by Rachel's family. They chose The Oyster Point Hotel based on it's location close to the water and its fabulous food. Their late September date inspired an autumnal color scheme of burgundy, yellow and orange, which they brought to life with cheery sunflowers and gerbera daisies.
