Rae married her fiance Louis Diame on July 25 in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in the South of France. The beautiful actress/producer looked stunning in a custom Vera Wang gown.

Rae’s groom was sharp in a red Dolce & Gabbana suit, while her gorgeous bridesmaids were dressed in mauve colored gowns with spaghetti straps. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
