Our Wedding

Christina and Tim met on Friday, September 16, 2016 at the British Beer Company in Sandwich, MA (RIP). Their initial meeting painted the picture for the rest of their relationship: funny and unexpected.Christina was in her second year of graduate school and completing a clinical rotation on Cape Cod where Tim was living his best bachelor life.After talking for a few days, they decided to meet up for a drink. Tim picked the bar and the time: Friday after work at the BBC. Christina got out of clinical earlier than expected and for once in her life was on time for something. She decided to go to the bar early and wait for Tim to finish up his golf round at Woods Hole Country Club (a usual Friday activity, she would learn).And wait she did! When Christina called to let Tim know that she was at the bar, he was only teeing off on the 16th hole. No problem! More time to build some liquid confidence! After an hour and a half, Tim called to let Christina know that he was on his way and would be there shortly.Another half an hour went by and Tim called to say that he was at the restaurant, but he couldn't find Christina. Couldn't find her? She hadn't left her bar stool in two hours! Well, Tim quickly realized that he had gone to the wrong BBC. After apologizing for his mistake, Tim quickly drove to the correct restaurant.Christina claims it was worth the wait to see Tim walking quickly to the bar completely dishevelled and profusely apologising. They enjoyed their evening and continued to laugh about the miscommunications that led them to each other.Seven years, a home on the Cape Cod Canal, and two dogs later, the rest is history.

Michael is times younger but bigger brother.  They shared a bedroom growing up and to this day they talk almost daily.  To Tim, Michael is more than just a brother but his best friend.  Tim couldn't imagine being up in the spotlight without Michael being there to share in the special day.

It all started on the first day of high school in the second row of a Portugues class.  Connecting over music, Tim and Henry quickly became good friends.

Henry was a part of so many memories over the course of Tim's life and looking forward to sharing one more.

Christina and Chelsea met their first few days at St. Bonaventure University where they were next door neighbors their freshman year (3rd Rob always and forever). They were both history majors and had similar silly senses of humor. Christina's best memories from college involve Chelsea including working for ResLife and dressing up in couples' Halloween costumes. Their friendship saw them through their four years at Bonas and well after. Christina appreciates Chelsea's ridiculousness, sincerity, and intellect.

Christina is so proud of Kelli and all that she has accomplished!

Some friendships last no matter how far people travel.  John and Tim met the first day of college and certainly enjoyed all that URI could offer.  Most weekends in the winteer you could find them in in Vermont skiing with the ski team.  Every time they get together, stories are made.  Let's add another.

John Vrabel

Christina's cousin! Jess has always been like a big sister to Christina. She's always admired Jess for her sense of fun and her general "coolness". No matter the distance, Christina has always known that she can count on Jess as both family and friend. Christina was honored to be a part of Jess' wedding, and she's excited that Jess will be a part of hers.

Tim and Matt first met each other during a visit to Korea.  While Tim didnt pick up on the fact Matt and Kathryne were dating, everyone else seemed to know.  Over the years Matt has been a great friend to Tim and supported him in more ways than can be outlined.  He joined the family back in 2019 and has made Christina feel just as warmly embraced.  We couldnt do this without him and look forward to him being a part of the wedding.

Matt Crowley

Patrick and Tim met each other working for their first company after college and quickly became friends.  Patrick and his wife Emma have been a part of Tim and Christinas lives over the course of their relationship and all of the major milestones.  This milestone wouldn't be complete without Patrick standing next to them.

Patrick Finn

Ashley is Christina's soon-to-be sister-in-law! Christina is excited to have Ashley celebrate her wedding day. She loves Ashley's sense of humor, intellect, and compassion for others (especially Gerald...). Christina is also amazed at Ashley's patience and flexibility as she spends time with the Zoppi clan. She couldn't ask for a better person for her brother to share his life with and is so excited to be gaining her as a sister. 

Ashley King

Kyle moved to Cape Cod and into Tim's live over 10 years ago.  The two quickly became friends and shared life-long memories from day 1.  Kyle also became part of the family with all of the cookouts around the cape.  No matter how far away they now live, it takes them about 17 seconds to pick back up wherever they left off.   

Kyle Sims

Christina's cousin! Just like Jess, Cindy has been a big sister to Christina. Cindy is a great listener, mentor, and friend. Christina admires Cindy for her sense of fun, her work ethic, and her empathy. Cindy has inspired Christina in more ways than one including becoming a speech pathologist. Christina is excited to have Cindy as a bridesmaid!

Cindy Onder

There are not enough words in the English language to describe our favorite neighbor.  Patrick was there with a smile and a handshake for when Tim moved to the cape.  He has been welcoming in sharing all that living on the cape can bring and made TIm feel like a part of his family since that time.  Patrick has also been a part of Tim and Christina's journey from basically week one.  This day would not have been possible without the friendship Patrick has showed and it is an honor to have him here.
