Rachael & Jason in Palm Beach, FL

Rachael and Jason had decided to host a destination wedding in the Bahamas, until two hurricanes hit and destroyed their wedding site. They needed a plan B -- and fast. Jason immediately called The Breakers in Palm Beach and was thrilled to find that their intended wedding date was available, and that the hotel was happy to accommodate them. THE BRIDE Rachael Levy, 31, volunteer coordinator for an art museum THE GROOM Jason Martorano, 33, firefighter THE DATE November 12 It's a good thing Rachael Levy and Jason Martorano believe in second chances. The couple first met in Las Vegas four years ago. Rachael was visiting from Florida, and Jason had driven down from L.A. for his friend's birthday. They chatted at a restaurant Friday night, but went their separate ways -- no numbers exchanged. On Sunday, Jason piled into the car for the drive home. But after sitting in traffic for 45 minutes, he and his pals smartly decided to head back to the hotel pool and wait it out there. And, by chance (or by fate!), they sat down right next to Rachael's group of friends. When Jason and I realized we had bumped into each other again, we were so surprised and excited -- we immediately began talking like we had known each other for years, she says. This time, they happily handed over the digits.
