Wedding Party

Casey Rutherford

Maid of Honor

This little sister hijacked my family and ruined my "only child" childhood back in 1996. Luckily for me she did, because now I have a best friend. While being in the passenger seat of her car is not good for my blood pressure, the journey and the destination are always a fun adventure and worth the price of admission.

Dan Szymanski - In Spirit

Best Man

Dan and Brett met Spring semester 2002 and quickly hit it off. In their post college days, Dan and Brett consumed countless pizzas and traveled all over including many US national parks, Paris (how bromantic), Costa Rica, and Israel. Dan was always down for shenanigans and he will forever be missed. In keeping with Dan’s spirit of always being there for others, we ask for those who are willing to consider honoring Brett's Best Man by sending a donation to The Crisis Center of Tampa Bay in the name of Dan Szymanski: https://www.crisiscenter.com/

Jennifer Wheelan

Bridesmaid

This girl is my Dallas soul sister and ride or die. While we have both moved out of the city, you can take the girl out of Dallas but you can't take the Dallas out of the girl. Yachting, brunching, spas, or drinking champagne on a massive floating unicorn are only some of our past times. I wouldn't want to SLAY or complain about adulting to anyone else but her.

Brad Raudenbush

Groomsman

Brett and Brad met sometime around 2007 when they both lived and worked in DC. They met their first brush with death during an impromptu horse stampede in the Outer Banks in North Carolina. That terrifying event was followed up with another near drowning while in a panga traveling between islands in Nicaragua. We're hoping this visit to Galveston is much less eventful.

Kelsi Isom

Bridesmaid

Knowing me since high school, we've experienced each of each other's "ERAS". From road trips chasing stupid boys *eye roll*, to having matching TEX-ASSES, we've seen each other in sickness (normally a hangover) and in health. Loved growing up with you by my side.

Justen Freeman

Groomsman

Brett and Justen met in 2008(ish) when they both lived and worked in DC. Between driving Jeeps in the aftermath of a DC blizzard, to taking jet skis in water that was way too rough, Brett and Justen are usually making questionable life choices.

Katie Heatley

Bridesmaid

It's always intimidating meeting a significant other's friend group, especially as close as the Court's group was, but Heat welcomed me immediately into the festivities. She is a fierce competitor placing in the Delhi Delhi Beach Olympics and a great friend. I have loved our travels together, whether it was to the beaches of Nicaragua or the Outerbanks. I will cherish the memories we've made and all the laughs along the way - I can't wait to continue to make more with her.

Thad Covaleski

Groomsman

Brett and Cov met back to 2015(ish) when they (like all of the groomsmen) worked together in DC. Cov is a founding member of the Delhi Delhi Club. The DDC is a group of six friends in constant pursuit of delicious Indian food. Being the gentleman he is, Cov is always game for a glass of whiskey and a cigar.

Nicole Canavan

Bridesmaid

This girl is pure light - including her constant stream of Florida rainbow posts on her story. She was technically Brett's good friend first, but I will always be trying to claim her because life is better with her light in it. Whether she is initiating impromptu drunken rollerblading or patiently being my sounding board, I am lucky to call this girl a friend.

Doug Carroll

Groomsman

Brett and Doug met around 2012(ish) when they too worked together in DC. Brett and Doug are usually engaged in various prank wars (but we seem to be in an armistice lately), and boy have these prank wars have been epic! Find Brett or Doug for some of the stories about the past pranks. PS Doug, Brett's getting married so I think this event counts as a no prank cease fire. -Tori

Emily Frisby

Bridesmaid

EST. IN 1999. She was my "lobster" before I ever knew Brett. Emily has been my best friend since the 1st grade and we've had too many wild rides to account for in one sitting. Our friendship is so old I pre-date her vegan-ness when we would gorge on snuffer's cheese fries. She was always willing to support my love of costumes and dress up with me, whether it was a pub-crawl, Halloween, a movie premiere, or literally just sitting around our apartment. She has been such a big part of my life, it is hard to think of a good memory where she was not present. I can't think of a better person to stand up with me on my big day - now that I have to LIVE WITH A BOY *friends forever*

Linda Rutherford

Mother of the Bride

I am my mother's daughter and proud of it. I am so lucky to have the mom I do. She has been there through it all. We've hiked the dingle way in Ireland, drunk champagne in Champagne, France, rapped at a Snoop Dawg concert, and danced in the rain to live music. Thanks for being the best mom and adventure partner a girl could ask for - you've taught me how to live life to its fullest which has led me to have some of the best experiences and memories.

John Rutherford

Father of the Bride

The example this man set is the only reason I knew to hold out until I found the wonderful man I am marrying. He was the BEST girl dad. I've loved all of our 20 years of hunting - one of my favorite times of the year. Thanks for teaching me how to field-dress dove, invest and save, and clean my gun (even though I rarely do it). I will never forget our trips, taking pictures of the animals in the great migration, walking the streets of Prague, fishing in Louisiana, or me getting to hijack the boys' hunting trip to Uruguay. I can't wait for you to be by my side as I take this walk down the aisle.

Maggie Halleman

Mother of the Groom

Maggie and Brett met back in the 1980's and man was she lucky to have me. Just kidding I'm lucky to have her. Mom is always down for an adventure be it a road trip, new restaurant, or cruising around the world.
