EN YEARS AGO, ON MARCH 25, CHRISTINE DeMaere and Trevor Hoke were married at Hillsborough Presbyterian Church surrounded by
family and friends, including many Chapel Hill High School and East Chapel Hill High School alumni. The N.C. State grads’ story and photos were featured on our pages back in 2006 as this publication’s first wedding. The couple has since moved to Charlotte and started a family. Daughter Lucy is 5, and son George is 3. Chapel Hill remains a favorite place to visit, and they return on holidays and several weekends out of the year to see family, including their parents, Kim and Tim Hoke, and Catherine and Guido DeMaere. Kidzu Children’s Museum, Armadillo Grill and City Kitchen are among their top destinations while in town. 64

Since tying the knot, the couple has remained hard at work in their respective fields. Christine now works as a partner at K&L Gates LLP, an international law firm, and focuses her practice on private equity and finance transactions. Trevor is a senior financial analyst with private banking group Wickham Cash Partners at Merrill Lynch. In their spare time, Christine and Trevor train for the half-marathon they run each November and travel to spots like Wrightsville Beach, Miami and southern France to visit cousins. Though it’s been a decade of wedded bliss, the couple has actually been together since they started dating in 1996 as students at CHHS. Christine divulged three key assets that have helped them thrive for going on two decades: “Communication. Kindness. And a sense of humor.” – Sophia Lucente
