Cristine Katherine Mayer and Keith Berk Timko were married April 13 at Brazos Hall, an events space in Austin, Tex. The Rev. Trish E. Woodruff, a United Methodist minister who is a friend of the bride’s family, officiated.
Mrs. Timko, 31, is an associate director in content partnerships at iHeartMedia in Manhattan. She graduated from Texas A&M and received a master’s degree in music business from N.Y.U.
She is a daughter of Holly K. Mayer and Tom Mayer of The Woodlands, Tex. The bride’s father retired as the managing director in the Houston office of the OC Tanner Company, a Salt Lake City company that develops employee recognition strategies. He is now the director of business development at DTK in Houston, a provider of facility services. Her mother is the director of programs and services at Interfaith of The Woodlands, a nonprofit social service agency.
Mr. Timko, 32, is a director of strategy and initiatives at Premion, an online video advertising company in Manhattan. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.
He is the son of Janet M. Berk and Michael J. Timko of Holmdel, N.J. Until the 1980s, his parents were prosecutors in the Kings County District Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn. The groom’s mother then became a stay-at-home parent, and she now works part time as a facilitator in schools throughout Monmouth County for the New Jersey Child Assault Prevention Project, a state-run program. His father, who is retired, was a senior vice president and of counsel at Mastercard in Purchase, N.Y.
The couple met in November 2014 during a happy hour organized by mutual friends at a West Village bar in Manhattan. Before he showed up, Ms. Mayer was told that Mr. Timko was a bit wilder than the guys she was used to dating. He showed up several hours late, but she gave him a chance anyway, and the two started dating.
