From childhood secrets to endless laughs, Rinal has been by my side through it all. As my sister and best friend, she’s not only been my rock but also my partner in every adventure. Her heart, humor, and unwavering support have meant the world to me, and there’s no one else I’d trust more to stand beside me on such a special day. I’m incredibly lucky to have her as my Matron of Honor—she’s been with me through every chapter, and now, we’re writing this one together.
Sherine Kollamana - Matron of Honor
Sherine and I have been through it all - from awkward middle school days to late-night college roomie adventures, she’s been a constant in my life, always there with a laugh, a shoulder to lean on, or a perfectly timed joke. I’m beyond lucky to have her by my side as we add another unforgettable chapter to our friendship. From childhood memories to today, Sherine has made every moment better, and I wouldn’t want anyone else standing with me on this special day.
Neelesh Parikh - Best Man - Brother In Law
Neelesh isn’t just my sister’s husband—he’s one of my closest confidants and someone I’ve come to rely on for advice, support, and plenty of good conversation. Over the years, he’s become more than family; he’s a true friend and a steady presence in my life. I’m honored to have him as one of my best men on this special day.
Khush Patel - Best Man
Khush and I have known each other since we were six years old, and from that moment on, we’ve been through just about every major milestone in life together. He’s more than a best friend—he’s family. From childhood adventures to adult chaos, Khush has always been by my side, and I couldn’t imagine this day without him standing next to me as my best man.
Sachin Shay - Ring Bearer
Our ring bearer, Sachin Shay, will be celebrating his first birthday right around the time of the wedding—and he just might be the cutest little guy ever. Whether he toddles, waddles, or gets a helping hand, we know he’ll bring all the charm (and probably a few giggles) as he makes his way down the aisle.
Niya Parikh - Flower Girl
At just around 10 months old by the wedding time, she’s the tiniest (and possibly the cutest) member of our wedding party. Whether she walks, crawls, or gets a royal escort down the aisle, we know she’ll steal the show and all of our hearts. Fingers crossed she makes it all the way—flower petals optional!
Anang Modi - Groomsman
I met Anang through my sister’s husband, Neel who is Best Man and we’ve pretty much been laughing ever since. He’s the kind of guy who brings good vibes wherever he goes, and it didn’t take long for him to feel like family. I’m pumped to have him as a groomsman and part of this big day.
Daron McGrady - Bridesmaid
I met Daron fresh out of college at my very first job, and she immediately took me under her wing—turning me into an Excel pro and an even better lunch companion. What started as a work friendship quickly became so much more, from endless spreadsheets to exploring the city's best restaurants together. I'm so lucky to have her in my life and by my side on this special day.
Henry Brito - Groomsman
Henry and I met a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away—or at least it feels that way. Over the years, we bonded through countless hours of video games and our shared love for house music. He's always been a reliable, steady presence in my life, and I’m truly honored to have him standing with me as a groomsman on this special day.
Ismael Lopez III - Groomsman
I met Ismeal through work, and what started as a professional connection quickly turned into a solid friendship. Whether we were tackling projects or just sharing a laugh during lunch breaks, he’s always been dependable, genuine, and a great guy to have in your corner. I'm proud to have him standing with me as a groomsman today.
Jamie Joseph - Bridesmaid
Jamie and I became instant friends as college roommates, and we’ve been laughing together ever since. Her quick wit, huge heart, and ability to turn any moment into a good time make her such a joy to have in my life. Whether it was pulling all-nighters or just sharing random adventures, she’s always been there, making everything better. I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side—she’s been a part of so many special moments, and today is just one more.
Jose - Groomsman
Jose and I lived together in Chicago after COVID, right up until he (very abruptly) left for medical school. Through it all, he was dedicated to making sure I kept up with my gym gains—even though he’ll deny it, he was the one who motivated me early on. Some of my favorite memories are the nights we’d cook up a feast and then park ourselves on the couch for hours watching Survivor with our roommate Dan. Honestly, Survivor just hasn’t hit the same since he left.
Pranjali Desai - Bridesmaid
Pranjali and I have been friends since middle school, and some of our best memories involve countless sleepovers, endless laughs, and her magically doing my hair for every big event. She’s been part of so many special moments in my life, and I’m so grateful she’s part of this one too.
Preetha John - Bridesmaid
Preetha and I met as college roommates, and she quickly became one of my closest friends. From late-night chats to navigating life together, she’s always been a steady, supportive, and joyous presence. I’m so lucky to have her in my life and standing by my side on this special day.
Rahul Desai - Groomsman
If you’ve ever seen Harsh and Rahul together you know their bromance runs deep. So deep that Akisha would get jealous. Who knew that the sleepovers, Chuck E Cheese nights, barbershop visits would turn into best friends many years later? The wedding day wouldn’t be complete without Rahul’s unforgettable presence.
Richie Khamphavong - Groomsman
Richie and I met in middle school, and from day one, we’ve been partners in crime. Whether it was dominating Fortnite tournaments (yes, we even won one!) or just sharing laughs over the years, he's been by my side through it all. I'm pumped to have him as a groomsman today—because no one else would have my back quite like he does.
Victor Sanchez - Groomsman
I've known Victor since high school, and from the very start, our friendship has been built on epic Call of Duty matches, late-night gaming marathons, and a shared love for house music that could fill any room with energy. He's the kind of friend who always shows up, whether it's for a squad battle or life's big moments. Honored to have him by my side today—controller in one hand, Grey Goose in the other.
Xulai Xu - Groomsman
Xulai and I have been friends since college, where we both tackled the wild world of engineering together. He’s been one of the most helpful, dependable people in my life—always ready to lend a hand (or his brain) when I needed it most. Whether it was surviving finals or figuring out real-life problems, Xulai has been there, and I’m grateful to have him as a groomsman by my side today.
Coco Patel - Bridesmaid
Coco isn’t just my dog—she’s my best friend, my partner in crime, and the one who brings endless joy to my life. From outdoor brunches to our adventures at every nursery we can find, she’s always by my side, soaking up the sunshine (and sometimes the snacks). I’m so lucky to have her as part of my wedding, because honestly, no one else could bring the same amount of love and happiness she does!
Brownie Parikh - Groomsman
My sister’s dog and I have shared countless car rides over the years, and I’ve got to say, we make the perfect road trip duo. Whether it's a short drive or an all-day adventure, we’re always in sync, enjoying every moment on the road together. The bond we share is built on loyalty, laughter, and a whole lot of tail-wagging. I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side on such a special day.
Mango Nallani - Ring Security
We couldn’t trust anyone more to keep an eye on the most important part of the ceremony—our rings. As the designated Ring Security, he’s always on alert, ready to “paw”tect the goods and make sure no one runs off with the bling.
