Love, rainbow wedding cake and a Wilson Phillips sing-a-long at Olio

Jen and Laura celebrated their nuptials at Olio, a newly renovated 1912 historic venue just north of Boston. The defining moment of the night had to be when the band started playing Wilson Phillips. EVERYONE joined in – if there is one correct way to enter a lifetime of wedded bliss, it’s gotta be via a sing-a-long!
