Wedding Party
Erin
Bride
I am Erin and the bride! I grew up in Bridgewater, MA and went to Springfield college for my undergraduate degree. I am a 6th grade ELA& Social Studies Teacher. Some of my favorites things are golfing, traveling, watching Disney movies and anything Minnie Mouse! Hot pink is also my FAVORITE color! When I first met Tim, I was running late for the date (on purpose this time). I walked over and introduced myself with a HANDSHAKE! When I finally made eye-contact with him, I saw his smile and was hooked from there. I am constantly enamored by Tim's work ethic and his deep desire to make a difference in kids lives. It was that type of conviction that sealed the deal for me on our first date because it showed just how incredible his heart is.
Tim
Groom
I am Tim, I am 32 and the groom! I grew up in Willington, CT and went to Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) for my undergraduate degree. I am currently earning my Masters Degree in Music Education from CCSU. I am working as a 9-12 grade music teacher teaching band, choir, marching band, jazz band, guitar and several other general music classes. I first heard about Erin when I was on vacation with my family in New Hampshire. My best man Chris came with us and told me he and his girlfriend wanted to introduce me to someone. After learning about Erin I was very eager to meet her. So much so that I waited several months for our schedules to line up for our first date. Even though she was late (she says intentionally) we had an amazing time. It was love at first sight.

Meghan Linskey
Maid of Honor
Meghan is Erin’s older sister. Meghan has always been Erin's role model- academically, athletically and socially. She and Erin have always had a special bond and enjoyed each other's company. In the past few years, they have begun to travel together which allows for extraordinary memories. This past summer in particular they spent several days exploring Scotland together! Even when they are not traveling, they are always finding adventures to share together such as touring historic homes, hiking (though not always successfully on Erin's part), going to the beach or taking hot yoga classes. Meghan was also the one that helped Tim pull off the engagement and took the photos seen on our website!

Tim and Sarah are very close and enjoy hanging out with one another whenever they can. Currently both Tim and Sarah are taking graduate classes together at CCSU. Sarah enjoys making music as often has she can whether it’s perfoming on her clarinet, playing piano for family holidays or being a Smule Karaoke superstar.
Christopher Linskey
Groomsman
Chris is Erin’s younger brother. He is a recent graduate of UNH and lives in Bridgewater, MA. Erin has always taken pride claiming that she "knew he was going to be a boy" before he was born. Even though he was, they have always loved each other's company and were constantly playing together. Chris has always been the "funny one" in the family and a great athlete- in particular with golf- he has beaten Erin every single time they have golfed together since he was 10!
Sarah Esposito
Bridesmaid
Erin met Sarah her sophomore year of college. They were introduced by a mutual friend and then they became closer when Sarah enrolled at Springfield College. They lived together for their senior year which is when she started dating her now fiance, Chris, and together they introduced Erin to Tim! They love arts and crafts, almost anything Disney related, and visiting wineries and breweries with their fiances.
Sam Chiovoloni
Groomsman
Sam met Tim in college through a mutual friend Chris Wilcox. Sam and Tim were roommates for several years prior to Tim moving to MA.
Molly King
Bridesmaid
Erin met Molly at her current job and they have been basically inseparable since! They were hired at the same time for the same grade & subjects. On the first day they met, they discovered that they not only teach the exact same thing- but they also were moving in with their boyfriends for the first time in the exact same apartment complex! The enjoy double-dates at music bingo, getting manicures together, and discussing the latest in pop culture and reality T.V. (which is when Molly teaches Erin all of the meanings to the phases their students use!). Molly also helped Tim surprise Erin with a fresh manicure before the engagement!
Chris Hauser
Groomsman
Chris and Tim met through a mutual friend and ended up forming a rock band together. They have played many shows together and still enjoy getting together to create music.
Jessica Riopel
Bridesmaid
Erin met Jess when she was a freshman when they were on the field hockey team together, making her one of Erin's first college friends. They were roommates the following three years of college together and shared the vast majority of their memories together. One of Erin's favorite memories is when they were stressed, Jess would grab her guitar and play/sing Skyscraper by Demi Lovato which instantly relaxed them. When they are able to get together, there is no limit to what they may do- whether that is a hike, self-pampering session, see a new movie or simply grabbing dinner and talking the hours away!
Mike Sakowski
Groomsman
Mike met Tim through their mutual friend Sam Chiovoloni. Mike played guitar in Tim’s band. Chris H, Mike and Tim still enjoy playing music together whenever their busy schedules allow for it.
Timothy C. Ketterer Sr.
Father of the Groom
Unfortunately, Tim Sr. is no longer with us; however, on our wedding day we will very much feel his presence and wish that he could have been a part of our celebration. He is included here in spirit. Tim Sr. is often regarded as Tim's best friend and greatly influenced the man he is today.
