A large Catholic family means a large wedding – 250 guests to be exact. Colleen, an artist and eternal optimist who is always testing out new cookie recipes, and Ellen, a paralegal and avid non-fiction reader with a tendency toward pessimism, married in a church and rented out a bowling alley for an epic reception.

Lauren and Suzie weren’t going to settle on anything less than the biggest pool party they’ve ever put on. Their bold Palm Springs wedding day will leave you wishing you got yourself an invitation.
