Wedding Party

Tuck Carruthers

Man of Honor

Howdy! I'm Annie's older brother, Tuck a.k.a Broskie. Annie has always been my partner in crime, even if those crimes were being performed against each other. We eat too much ice cream, been known to be a barroom-bully, and are too competitive for our own good. I love Annie and Drew dearly and can't wait to share this day with them. YOU CRY?! I probably will during my speech. NAH!

Leshia Hansen

Best Woman

Since the very start of Drew’s life, I’ve been his fierce and adoring big sister. On the day he was born I insisted on bringing a cake to the hospital: early on I knew he was someone worth celebrating, and this has remained true throughout his life. We have always been siblings who love one another deeply and are simultaneously inspired and challenged by each other. Whether that be climbing the highest mountain, refining our art, learning the intricacies of a random technical skill, or busting out the wildest, most unbridled dance moves, Drew and I are always encouraging one another to live life more fully. When I met Annie, I knew she was the perfect fit for Drew’s special blend of bold and tender. I’m looking forward to forever celebrating Drew and Annie with a lifetime of cakes to come!

Hilary Carruthers

Bridesmaid

Hi! I’m the bride’s sister-in-law, although let’s just go with ‘sister’ since that’s a better descriptor of what Annie has become to me. I’ve known Annie for many years now, since she partied with us at CO College & would stay out all night making trouble with Tuck. We now talk to “Auntie” and “Uncle Jojo” (don’t ask) almost every night at the insistence of our little boys. Tuck & I take full credit for Annie & Drew’s love of cribbage. Drew & I commiserate regularly about how Annie & Tuck are always eating all the snacks. When Annie & Drew told us they were engaged I literally cried & am absolutely overjoyed that these two found one another. It’s a really special feeling when you see your sibling end up with their perfect match. I can’t wait to spend a lifetime beating them in cribbage.

Matt Bruneel

Groomsman

Questionable soup served from a dirty vinyl tablecloth under a buzzing street lamp? Matt Bruneel will eat it. Leftover toddler lunch featuring half eaten pieces of egg and the rinds of cucumber? Matt Bruneel will eat it. "Chef's Sampler" at a restaurant that serves only bugs? Matt Bruneel will eat it. Matt's carefree omnivorousness will make him a hit at any table around the world. His wife and Drew's best woman Leshia Hansen may advise against some of the more suspicious gastronomical options, but she is nonetheless encouraging of all of his epicurean endeavors. Matt will bring all of his talents and energies to supporting the union of Drew and Annie. It's not yet clear how his willingness to eat animal organs might serve them in the future, but he is ready should ever the need arise!
