"I'm Kaci, and I've known Emily since high school. Right away, I remember thinking, 'this is a friend for me'. Over the years, our friendship has stayed consistent through different seasons of life, from quick visits and sleepovers in Portland, double dates where I first met Manpreet, karaoke in her car, and phone calls in between. We've traveled to Ecuador, gone on annual girls' trips, and through it all she's remained one of the most special people in my life. Cheers to many more memories, and Manpreet, I guess you can join too!"

“'Wow—you have really white feet!' were my first words to Emily as we sat in band class our junior year of high school. If that’s not the perfect pick-up line to start a friendship, I don’t know what is. From band and choir days to her first plane ride, long late-night phone calls, and even a trip to Hawaii, we’ve been through a little bit of everything together. While her pale feet may have sparked our connection, it’s her loyalty, wit, and endlessly caring nature that make her a cherished lifelong friend. I’m so grateful to stand by her side on such a special day."

"I'm one of Emily's sisters, and I've been ready for her to marry Manpreet since they first started dating over three years ago! I've never seen her happier, and my only complaint is that he converted her to Californianism. Looking forward to the wedding and to officially welcoming Manpreet into the family!

"As one of the older sisters of the bride, I've known her since she was a bun in the oven. I would say we've grown from the typical childhood loving/fighting relationship to an adult friendship that I truly enjoy. I'm so excited for her in this new phase of life, and to celebrate with you all!"

"Manpreet and I met in 2015 on the basketball courts of Chico State where every day was a battle for survival. It was here that Manpreet rolled his ankle numerous times from my hard fouls rendering us both unable to jump when playing basketball today. Aside from surviving college together, our friendship developed over shared interests of comedy, anime and rooting for mediocre sports teams. At the wedding, you can find me tearing up the dance floor while most likely tearing my ACLs."

"I met Manpreet when I was 15, so if you math - that's 17 years of friendship!! (Goodluck beating that Emily lol) Love you brotha and always here for you guys!"

"I first met Manpreet when he walked into my lab for the first time and I thought 'here we go, another overconfident person to train,' but he actually turned out to be pretty bright and funny to boot. Eventually we started to roast each other and that's when we really bonded. I asked him to be a groomsman for my wedding, and now here I am being a groomsman for him."

"Manpreet has been a great friend for 6 years and honestly, I'm glad we met when we did - any later and he probably would've forgotten my name due to the natural effects of his advanced age. In all seriousness, Manpreet really is that 'ball of sunshine.' Whether we're dealing with a stressful shift at work or just hanging out, he has this way of making everything feel manageable. He's the most reliable person I know."

"I met Manpreet in the most 2020 way possible - online, playing NBA2k for hours way later than we should have. My older brother Patient connected us while he was in California and I lived in Ohio, and a random gaming connection turned into a real friendship I'm very grateful to have. When we finally met in person later that year, I learned he somehow plays basketball exactly like he plays 2k - questionable shot selection and all... "
