Amy McMullen
Matron of Honor -
Amy and Sharon are childhood friends who grew-up in Louisville, CO. They grew-up hanging out together through High School and have weathered the ups and downs of college and adulthood. Amy is one of those friends that you can always count on to be there when you need it.
She currently is happily married to Eric McMullen and is a project manager for a tech firm here in Denver. We often hang out, playing games and enjoying good food, whether in a nice restaurant or at our homes. Thanks Amy for all the support you have given me over the years.

Ellen Dolan
Bridesmaid -
Ellen and Sharon met in the far off land of Nepal, when they both joined the Peace Corps Service. Peace Corps is a very intense experience so you get to know each other very intimately, very quickly. Ellen was a blast to hang out with. While we were stationed on opposite sides of the country, we would often meet up in Kathmandu to hang out. We also trekked the Everest Base camp and traveled to Tibet together. We have shared so many memories and I feel blessed that we have stayed close throughout the years. Ellen is happily married to Jim Dolan and they live in New York with their three beautiful children: James, Matthew and Justine (who is a flower girl). Once her kids are older, Ellen hopes to go back into teaching, which is one of her passions.

Chen-Chen Ma
Bridesmaid -
Chen is Sharon's older sister who lives in Dallas, TX with her husband Patrick and their two children Lucas and Ethan. She works as a Project Manager in the telecommunications industry.
Sharon tries to make it down to Dallas every other month to hang out with them. She has so much respect for her sister. Her sister is always calm even when she is juggling the stresses of a full time job, two very active boys and maintaining the day to day tasks of running a house. She is a caring, generous and compassionate person and I am so proud to have her as a big sister. She has always given me unconditional love and trust, for which I will be forever grateful.

Since Sharon and Pauline are closer in age, they shared everything growing-up from clothes, shoes, music and games. Pauline is such a light in Sharon's life, always level headed and practical, but at the same time always fun and generous. Sharon is extremely proud of all the amazing accomplishments that Pauline has achieved, working on the Mars Exploration Rovers mission and completing her Masters in Aerospace Engineering.

Matthew Kelman
Best Man -
Matt, Ross's older brother, lives with his wonderful wife Emily in Petaluma, CA (in beautiful Sonoma County). After spending their childhood with Matt usually picking on Ross, following an overlapping year at Penn State University, Matt and Ross became much closer and a few years later became roommates for three plus years.
Matt is now an Assistant Vice President at a small bank, while Emily runs the tasting room at a delicious winery (Martin Ray), as well as dabbling in interior design and re-selling art.
Both Matt and Emily are very warm, intelligent, and friendly; just keep away from Matt when the Philadelphia Eagles are losing.

Brian Gifford
Groomsman -
Brian and Ross met a few years ago in Denver where the two ran into each other repeatedly while playing ultimate Frisbee and through similar circles of friends.
In late 2009, Brian decided to leave his job as a manager of a Starbuck's store and to move into an RV, where he then lived in Sharon and Ross's driveway for two months prior to setting out for an exciting nomadic life with his two dogs, Stella (greatest dog ever) and Emmy (the new addition to the family). Over the past year, Brian has spent time as a campsite host in the middle of a forest in California, worked on a few organic farms, and enjoyed the sun and sand of Baja California. One of these days, Ross plans to join Brian for a short nomadic stint.
Brian is a great friend and all it took was a wedding to get him to finally come back to Colorado (even if only for a week).
