Wedding Party
Heather Hurd
Officiant
Heather and Emily met while in AmeriCorps NCCC. Once they both decided to stay in Denver, their friendship took off and not only have they enjoyed everything Colorado has to offer but they've also traveled the world together.
Aaron Stillwell
Officiant
Aaron is the reason this wedding is happening. Both Emily and Mark know Aaron through ultimate frisbee and thanks to Aaron inviting a relatively new to Denver Mark out on the town, the rest is history.
Sarah Swift
Maid of Honor
Sarah and Emily have known each other since 4th grade where Sarah was notoriously mean to Emily. Emily made up for it in middle school and they've been friends ever since. No matter the distance, Sarah and Emily have maintained an over 30 year friendship.
Russ Bayuk
Best Man
Russ and Mark meet in computer class in college where they became great friends, and eventually roommates. Russ frequently visits Mark in Colorado during the winter for snowboarding trips and other shenanigans.
Ellsley Rogers-Gee
Flower Girl
Ellsley is the daughter of Emily's good friend, Kiersten. While Mark and Emily prefer fur babies for themselves, they love spending time with Ellsley and couldn't wait to have her be a part of their wedding
Miss Barkley Mutteris
Dog of honor
Barkley is Emily and Mark's little pittie. She is the sweetest and friendliest dog. Make sure to give her lots of scratches and attention at the wedding (she'll also gladly accept food scraps).
