Wedding Party

Meet some of the very important people in our lives and those who are helping us make the day extra special!

Tyler Sutton

Best Man

Tyler and Kamil have been best friends, brothers and partners in crime for 28 years. They met in Wauwatosa, WI when both arrived from different cities to begin the 7th grade together. Tyler came from Montana and Kamil from Toronto. Since that date, nothing has been able to separate their bond. Tyler is Father to Oliver Sutton (who loves his Uncle KK and Aunty Titi) and most recently he became father to an energetic Australian Shepard named Chase!


Brooke Cooper

Maid of Honor

Brooke and Keri have been best friends for over 30 years. After meeting in middle school they quickly became inseparable. Keri feels beyond lucky to have Brooke by her side as her maid of honor. Through every laugh, tear milestone and memory she has always been there, more like a sister than a friend, with her unwavering support.

Amyn Karmali

Groomsman

Amyn and KK are first cousins and keep the family on their toes. Although Amyn is the big brother, there's no telling what happens when they get together. Often times this is referred to as the "Karmali" factor, so watch out! They share common passions for golf, camping and gastronomy. Amyn luckily married up, way up, he and his beautiful wife Nicole are parents to our flower girls Asha and Adley Karmali.


Robert Molthen

Groomsman

Bob and Kamil met in the 7th grade. He was the first to introduce Kamil to DMB and take him to his very first concert. Speaking of firsts, boy did they do a lot of things for the first time together. Most of those memories are locked in the non-public vault. From horseback riding in the mountains of Denver, to four years of marching band and 250+ Dave Matthews shows combined, they've survived it all. Bob and his wife Ali live in Colorado with their doggie Rilo.

Kellye Dorman

Bridesmaid

Kellye and Keri first met at a party in 2006, and instantly clicked. Their friendship has grown over the years, especially through their shared love of music—starting with their first Dave Matthews Band concert together in 2008. For the last 16 years, they have kept that tradition alive, creating countless memories along the way. Kellye and Keri have shared so many of life's milestones, and Keri is beyond grateful to have her by her side as she marry's the love of her life. Fun fact: Kellye’s sister-in-law actually played a key role in introducing Keri and Kamil, which is a pretty special connection for us both!


Kelly Ragsdale

Bridesmaid

Kelly and Keri first met in 2018 when she was a client of Keri's and it didn’t take long for the two to become fast friends and workout partners. They bonded over a shared love of torturous early morning workouts and, of course, good wine. Kelly and Keri perfected the 'girl dinner'. Kelly played a big role in encouraging Keri to visit Kamil for the first time in 2019, which ended up being a pivotal moment in their relationship. During 2020, with Kelly & Keri living just a few blocks apart, they spent a lot of time together, navigating the pandemic and strengthening their friendship. Developing such a special bond later in life is truly a gift, and Keri is so thankful to have her by her side as we celebrate this special day.

Ally Karmali

Officiant

Ally and Kamil are first cousins. Their bond is a very special one as each other can speak freely about the world, their journey through life and the importance of spiritual growth and how to apply that in their lives. One of their fondest memories was KK's 30th Bday when both he and Ally traveled to Florida for a week of golf and sunshine. It just happened to be the same day that MH370 went missing. Since then, they are still on the hunt to find out what happened. We could not have thought of a more grounded and kind soul to help us officially say, "I do."


Nicole Karmali

Master of Ceremonies

Meet Canadian powerhouse Nicole Karmali. Matriarch of our generation of the Karmali family, there isn't anything Nicole does personally or professionally where she doesn't set the bar at the very highest of standards. She is Kamil's "go-to" human in life and instantly welcomed Keri into our family with open arms. Nicole is a T-Swift superfan, a travel lover and dedicated Mother. She's the Sr. Director of Venues and Partnerships at Oliver & Bonacini, Canada's finest dining hospitality group where's she's spent the last 20 years building an impressive career.

Adley Karmali

Flower Girl

Adley Karmali is 100% the definition of Karmali. Goofy, inquisitive, funny and energetic! Little sister to Asha, the two come as a pair. She keeps everyone on their toes, she lives her most authentic life and has a beautiful imagination!

Derek Fennig

Usher

He and his wife Katie live in Wisconsin (when he's not deployed overseas) with their dog Tahini.

Ara recently became certified as a Level 2 sommelier, yes, she'll be your sommelier at our wedding.


Allahnah Karmali

Traditional Ismaili Ritual Officiant

She's KK's original AK47. Ride or die, this is how they roll the two of them. Since the day of her birth, KK has always considered Allahnah (and Ara) to be his little sister. A mutual bond they share because of the love and inspiration of how close their Fathers were, prior to Farook Karmali passing away in 1985. A beautiful and successful lawyer in Toronto, Allahnah is the first person KK thinks of during International Women's Day. She enjoys vacationing and spending Holiday's in Tulum with her exceptional boyfriend David.

Amal Alarakhia

Maid of Honor, Ismaili Religious Nikah

Amy and KK are first cousins. No moment has passed over the last 40 years when they weren't closely connected in every capacity. The moment Keri and Amy met, they established an instant connection and Amy welcomed Keri into the family with love and excitement. Amy has a compassionate heart, her mission in life is creating the best quality of life for seniors as the Sr. Director of Sales and Marketing at Spring Living Retirement in Toronto. When she's not snuggling her main man squeeze Fluffy, she's a gym shark and avid book worm.
