An April Fool’s Day surprise pizza parlor wedding

Nicole and Ken had their second date at Pi Pizzeria in St. Louis several years ago. When they decided to get married and found out there was a location close to where they live in the DC area, they decided to surprise their close friends by getting married at what their friends expected to be an engagement party.

Add in their classy “Best Day Ever” cake, funky decor at the restaurant, and requisite rings-on-pizza-slice shot, and you’ve got a deliciously fab tiny wedding…
