Lauren and Ben are two of the happiest people I’ve ever met. Their wedding at Hotel Vetro was a bit unconventional but suited their personalities so well! It doesn’t get any better than having an egg race at the end of the wedding ceremony. Everyone should do it, it’s fun.

They braved the cold and had the ceremony on the Hotel Vetro Grand Terrace, overlooking the pedmall.
