Anthony & Keith
Wedding Party
Sophia Porotsky
Anthony's Best Woman
Anthony and I met in June 2007 at a summer study abroad program in France. I plopped down in a circle of jet-lagged teenagers at Charles de Gaulle airport, right next to Anthony, and immediately made fun of his velour tracksuit pants...Anthony was not amused. Somehow, during a 6-day hike around Mont Blanc (trekking through 3 countries!), I won him over and the rest is history. Through all the trials and tribulations—the growing pains, the laughter, the tears, the joy—of becoming the people we were meant to be, we’ve been by each other’s side. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to help my soulbrother get married.

Keith's Matron of Honor
I met Keith what seems like a lifetime ago in Greenville, South Carolina. After the first night we met, we became fast friends - always getting into happy mischief and crazy shenanigans. Over time, our lust for life took us to different cities. But with this great distance, we somehow continued to grow closer. He was the one true friend I could always count on! After a year abroad in Melbourne, I made my way back to the states and we reconnected a short week later for NYE. It was then that I found out his plans for New York...bringing me to present day. Keith is the reason I also moved to NYC seven years ago. We were roomies for summer, but through everything, have become family for life. My heart could not be happier, and I am so thrilled for this adventure in life to begin for them both!
Alexandria Shomber-Warner
Anthony's Matron of Honor
Anthony and Alex met at a fashion show after party (with Chloe!) at the University of St. Andrews. From that moment on, they were completely inseparable and went on to have one of the best summers of their lives. Over the past 10 years, Anthony and Alex have made memories all over the world and have shared so many laughs. From casual nights that turned into sunrises and missing iPhones, to supporting each other through some of life’s biggest moments - Alex is beyond thrilled to stand by Anthony’s side on his next big adventure - marriage.
Kassie Gage
Keith’s Maid of Honor
After meeting Keith over a decade ago, I immediately fell in love with his vibe and we soon became inseparable. He has been at my side through it all - once best friends, we are now family. I am so honored and excited to take part in welcoming Anthony to the family as well. I love you both!
Joshua Ball
Anthony's Best Man
Anthony and I first met during our senior year of high school before attending university together. Over the years—from living the ~*~*transatlantic*~*~ undergrad lifestyle, to my series of public fainting spells, to standing by my side as I married my husband—Anthony has become one of my nearest and dearest. Words can’t express how honored I am to return the favor to Anthony as he and Keith begin this new chapter!
Bonney Rowley
Keith's Groomswoman
Keith and I met when we worked for the same wine distributor for a number of years. We became quick friends, bonding over our love of champagne, skincare, music and our equally sassy personalities.
Anne Porter
Anthony's Maid of Honor
One evening at a club in New York, my boarding school friend Alex Shomber introduced me to her St. Andrew’s friend, Anthony. The day after the official meeting in 2015, Anthony and I made plans to become roommates. We lived together for 5 years and hosted over 100 parties: 4 Christmas parties and 96+ non-denominational, anytime parties- all in Kings County, most in Bed-Stuy. Anthony helped me understand and experience the fun of city-living. I’m so happy to have spent my New York stint with him and am relieved neither of us have to find another roommate.
Billy Dume
Keith's Groomsman
Keith had the pleasure of meeting me via mutual friends. They would host neighborly gatherings, and during one such gathering, Keith and I happened upon one another, and didn’t address each other for approximately an hour and a half as we assessed if the other was friend or foe. We eventually started speaking and it has been a beautiful friendship ever since. I’ve been fortunate the past several years to benefit from his biting wit and genuine thoughtfulness, and he’s enriched my life even more by introducing me to Anthony, with whom I quickly became friends as well, and who shares the same enthusiasm for messiness, pettiness, and shade that Keith and I do. I am so honored to be a part of the love Keith and Anthony share, and I couldn’t be happier for them and their future.
Gracie Bialecki
Anthony's Babe of Honor
From Junior Prom to Burning Man, from New Paltz to Burgundy, from teenage waiters to adult dream getters, Anthony is one of my oldest and dearest friends. Fine wines, Deep House, and long runs are a few of our many shared pastimes. I'm overjoyed to be part of Anthony and Keith's wedding, and share in the revelry of their next chapter.
Suzy Barros
Keith's Groomswoman
Keith and I met at work and quickly realized how much we had in common: we were both from the south, incredibly stylish, and we both had a deep disdain for (almost) everything. Thankfully, it hasn’t prevented amazing people like Anthony from seeing that beauty isn’t skin deep ;) I’m so excited to be part of Keith and Anthony’s nuptials!
Benedicte Pugerud Ekrem
Anthony's Groomswoman
Anthony and I met during his first few weeks as a freshman in St. Andrews, Scotland. From that point on there has been endless adventures around the world; we have hiked in the Norwegian mountains and sunbathed in Sardinia. We have gone skiing in New York and explored the French countryside, there has been underground clubs in Berlin and open air festivals in California. But most importantly it has just been the life in between. The support, the love, the laughter and tears, and a deep understanding of each other. I am deeply honored to be a part of Anthony’s wedding party, and I am so happy that my wonderful friend has met such a wonderful man to share his life with.
Shannon Squire
Keith's Groomswoman
We met in a way many early twenty somethings meet: by working together in an overrated restaurant. Keith was almost always in my way and incredibly unapologetic about it. Once I got over this, we became the best of friends. We were pretty inseparable until he eventually left me for NY and although we've spent a lot of time apart, Keith is still one of my best friends. I am so happy for him and Anthony and thrilled that I get to experience their wedding with them.
Chloe Coniaris
Anthony's Groomswoman
Chloe and Anthony first met at a fashion show after party as undergrads at the University of St. Andrews and the dreamiest of friendships was instantly formed. From dancing in DJ booths at the finest establishments (“The Lizard”) to raving the night away at GradBall 2012 and traveling around the world together, their decade + long friendship, like a fine wine, only continues to get better with age.
Emma Forster
Anthony & Keith's Groomswoman
A glamorous friendship from the outset, Anthony and Emma’s began in earnest at the New York Marriott Marquis on Times Square (as glamorous friendships often do). Their shared loves of Pol Roger Champagne, women who went to the Hill School, and Keith Henderson have taken them to exotic destinations such as upstate New York, Cape Cod, and a summery stretch of sand on Jacob Riis Beach, but it is their time working together in the wine biz that has been the real journey.
