From the time they were 11 years old, Marissa and Chris were pals. After college, they started to date and four-and-a-half years later, the New Jersey natives got engaged in Mykonos, Greece, in front of a glorious sunset. For their Big Day, they asked friends and family to join them at The William Aiken House in Charleston. Why here?
