| Welcome! |
Welcome to our wedding website! In this site, you will find information on the wedding day event and participants as well as links to our gift registry. We look forward to seeing everyone at the blessed event in just a few short months.
To start, we wanted to introduce ourselves to anyone who has never met either the bride or groom.
Carrie Hummel grew up in Washington Township, Michigan just north of Detroit. She is the youngest of three children born to Jerry and Lynne Hummel. In high school she excelled as a distance swimmer before graduating and heading off to study nursing at nearby Oakland University. Degree in hand, she worked a variety of floor nursing jobs in hospitals around Detroit followed by a few years working as a travel nurse in California before settling at the University of Michigan. She is currently working in the preoperative and recovery room areas at the university hospital.
Andrew Zwyghuizen is the youngest son of David and Kathy Zwyghuizen. His older brother Jeremy and his parents still live north of Grand Rapids in a town called Rockford, Michigan. After an uneventful high school experience, he went off to Hope College with hopes of eventually going to medical school. After graduating with degrees in biochemistry and psychiatry, he started medical school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. After interviewing for residency positions all around the country, he matched into the University of Michigan plastic surgery program to continue his training.

| How We Met |
How HE remembers it:
One day near the end of my intern year, I was finishing up some work on the 4 B/C telemetry floor after being up all night on call when Missy, one of the nurses, pulled me aside. “Are you single?” she asked rather hastily. “Um, excuse me?” I replied. “You should really think about my friend Carrie,” she said, gesturing toward a cute nurse down the hall. “Uh, thanks,” I said, not knowing how to reply. I settled on the truth. “I just got out of a relationship – I’m not really interested in dating right now.” “Oh, ok,” she said, “just think about it.”
Six months later, I’m bringing a patient out to recovery from the O.R. and I’m greeted by the smiling face of an adorable nurse who looked strangely familiar. Our conversation was work-related, but there was something magical about her. Later that week, we met out in Ann Arbor with some mutual friends and soon after that we started dating.
How SHE remembers it:
Spring of 2005, I was working as a nurse on 4B/C. Although I recently ended a long-term relationship, my friend Missy was always pointing out guys for me to date. At the time, I really wasn’t interested in dating. Still, one day Missy told me to go check out the guy working on the computer. I walked through the room and noticed one of the residents looking up labs. He looked tired (most residents do). We didn’t really talk, though. The problem with residents is that they always leave at the end of the month to go to a different service in a different part of the hospital. Sure enough, a few days later he was gone. I had no idea until years later that Missy had talked to him about me.
Six months later, Missy and I had transferred together down to the recovery room. One afternoon, this familiar face escorted a patient into my recovery room slot. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Missy’s jaw drop. I thought I could see her mouth the words, “That’s the guy!” He still looked pretty tired, but cuter than I remembered. A few days later we met out in Ann Arbor with some mutual friends and he asked me if I wanted to go out sometime. I guess he finally took Missy's advice. I'm so glad he did.
