Cristine & Keith
Our people
Abby Frederick
Matron of Honor
Abby and I met on a hot day in 1991. My dad picked me up in a limo and took me to the hospital and said "here you go, this is your sister" and there she was! Thankfully, we really like each other. She's my best friend, the calmest person in the room and very good at helping me try to be organized. Best sissy ever.
Pete Bradt
Best Man
Keith and Pete met at Penn, but their friendship really blossomed after Pete returned to America after living in China after college. Pete is one of the kindest, most loyal, and funniest person Keith has ever met (go see his stand-up act). He can literally have a conversation with anyone, like the time they were stuck at the Jamaica, Queens train station for 2 hours and Pete spoke to two Jehovah's witnesses the entire time. Pete and Keith have had great times going on trips to Maine & the beach over the years. Pete may be the world's top bonfire builder.
Katie Bolner
Bridesmaid
In 2006 God was basically like "hey you guys, be friends!" We were placed in the same sorority, then the same Fish Camp as counselors, then the same Fish Camp again and the rest was history. We moved to NYC together after school and then she went and married my first friend in college, Steve. Now they almost have a baby together which is kinda weird but mostly very cool.
Nathan Frederick
Groomsman
When Keith started dating Cristine, she told him about her sister Abby's boyfriend (now husband), Nathan. They quickly bonded over their mutual love of the Cowboys, and over the years grown close over their love of sports, food and good drinks. When Keith decided to propose, Nathan was his first confidant and co-conspirator in surprising Cristine. Keith could not be happier to get finally get a brother, especially one as kind as Nathan. Look for him to join the touring version of "Hamilton" soon, under his alter-ego Nathaniel!
Cari Timko
Bridesmaid
I was going to say I met Cari in 2014 but, shake up! It was actually 2015! We met over a very delicious Japanese dinner in New Jersey and we had the same purse. She's the best dog watcher around (HashBrown may like her more than us) and I'm so excited to have 2 Timko sisters!
Matt Mayer
Groomsman
Keith is so excited to have a brother and groomsman in Matt. Upon meeting, they quickly bonded over their love of sports and competitive bantering. Through the years, they've had great times in Texas, Wisconsin and New York, and working together in the media industry. Keith especially appreciates Matt's gun tutelage and dope sock game.
Kim Timko
Bridesmaid
We met in 2014 when Keith was like "hey, my older sister is really cool and she also lives here". We've had many nights of karaoke and dancing and I'm so excited she'll be my sister!
Jeremy Chu
Groomsman
Jeremy and Keith's friendship goes back to their third grade class in New Jersey. They were friends through their youth in New Jersey but their bond grew when they went to college and they would make weekend trips to see the other in New York/Philadelphia. After college, Jeremy spent several years living in Asia and the west coast, but always made a point to visit Keith in New York when he traveled to the east coast (frequently informing him of his arrival after landing at the airport). Some of their favorite memories were the nights when Jeremy crashed on Keith's couch after spending hours geeking out over work.
Elle O'Sullivan
Bridesmaid
Wow guys, 2014 was a big year for me! Elle and I met when I was working at the Tonight Show and she started working there. Our friend Zarah and I thought "hey, she seems pretty cool" (and we were right, so good job us). She has the best laugh, eats the best pizza and salad, and throws the best parties. Elle knows how to light up a room and make everyone feel special!
Aaron Cohen
Groomsman
Aaron and Keith met the first day of freshman year at Penn when they were moving into their dorm. Please ask Aaron about it - he loves to tell the story of the "cool California guy" strutting into the dorm like he owned the place. Despite Aaron's initial awe, they grew to be close friends. Aaron is as caring as they come - Keith loves the story when Aaron called in anti-nausea prescriptions to assist with acclimation to Colorado elevation. Keith is thrilled that Aaron has become a Jersey guy, moving there with his delightful wife, Dara, and future NBA All-Star son, Asher.
Sara Stile
Bridesmaid
Stile and I met in 2010 in our first class for our master's program at NYU. The teacher asked for our favorite concert and she said "NSYNC" and that was it. Since then we have been on many adventures, eaten too many foods, listened to a lot of music and generally spent a lot of time together. This is my favorite picture of her with her fiancé!
Stefan Kullberg
Groomsman
Stefan and Keith became friends during their freshman year at Penn & lived together during their junior year. After college, Stefan traveled the world & reconnected with Keith when they were both living in the Lower East Side in Manhattan. Stefan was Keith's first friend to meet Cristine after their first date and Keith was with Stefan the night he met his lovely wife, Polina. When not collecting tolls, Stefan and Polina live in Brooklyn with their dog, Jenkins and potentially evil cat, Dorito.
Maggie Bryan
Bridesmaid
Maggie and I met in 2006 when we were both young pledges in our sorority (Think Theta!). Anyway, fast forward a few years and I was living in NYC and Maggie did an internship in grad school there and we have shared a love of food, talking and our dogs ever since. She is the best planner and most the most fun!
Grant Donkervoet
Groomsman
Grant and Keith also met freshmen year at Penn and lived together over junior year, after Grant took a quick detour to his home state of Louisiana. Keith, Cristine, Grant and his sweet wife, Jeannette, have been known for their serious games of Settlers of Catan. They recently road tripped through France, with one of the highlights being their truffle hunt and subsequent hunt of a truffle tree/annual fresh truffle shipment. Grant and Keith are both bottomless pits - with them around, there are never any leftovers. Grant is an avid fan of the LSU Tigers, New Orlean Saints, crepes and milk.
