Wedding Party

Anna Messer
Anna Messer - Maid of Honor
Hey my name is Anna! I go to the University of Memphis and I have two children (dogs). I was forced to like and grow up with Mack. She’s pretty cool though.
Kalyan Nadipalli
Kalyan Nadipalli - Best Man
Kalyan here. Known Tarun from day 1 as the older brother/cousin. Grew up in the same house so pretty much know all his shenanigans. Live in Dallas with the wife Sharmaine and couple kids - Kabir and Sarayu. Work in sales and coach soccer on weekends. Also a life coach for some, including Tarun! I love sports and play golf whenever I get a chance these days.
Nithya Adluri
Nithya Adluri - Bridesmaid
Hello! I’m Nithya, Tarun’s younger sister from India. While the world introduced him to me as a brother, he's really been more like a third parent: protective and annoying in true sibling fashion. I first got to know Mackenzie virtually and I finally met her in person in 2024, right after the proposal. We spent four months together, and it was an absolute joy getting to know her. I enjoy drawing mandalas, love being outdoors, and rarely say no to something fun.
Kevin Ydrovo
Kevin Ydrovo - Groomsmen
Hi I'm Kevin. I'm married with my first child on the way. I've been living in Memphis most of my life. I enjoy working in my wood shop, playing the banjo, and running. Tarun and I met through our local running group, the Sea Isle Park Runners, and have been kicking it ever since.
Sharmaine Mudalige

Hi! I am Sharmaine, Tarun's cousin's wife. I was born in Sri Lanka , moved to the US for nursing school when I was 20 years old. Now I am a mom of three ( 2 humans and a handsome but slightly wacko white lab. I am a nurse practitioner by trade. I met Tarun for the first time when Kalyan and I got married in 2016 in India and he was a 16 year old kid. Tarun introduced me to Mac in Sep 2022 while we were watching the duck walk at the Peabody Hotel on my first visit to Memphis. And the rest is history!

Natalie Wimmer
Natalie Wimmer - Bridesmaid
Hello, my name is Natalie! I am a bartender in Memphis and I enjoy being outside and eating good food. Mackenzie and I have been besties ever since we met in fifth-grade. Growing up, the Messers were like a second family to me, and I spent a lot of time at their house and with them on their vacations. It makes me so happy to see Mackenzie all grown up and happy with someone as awesome as Tarun!
Narasimha Pothula
Narasimha Pothula - Groomsmen
I first met Tarun as “Kalyan’s cousin” — nearly 15 years younger, fresh from India, full of ambition and energy. We clicked instantly, and age never mattered. Watching him grow into the confident, successful person he is today has been incredible. From meaningful chats to shared drinks and laughs, Tarun has become a true friend and part of our circle. I’m honored to stand by him and wish him a lifetime of happiness. Here’s to love, laughter, and many more years of friendship.
Delaina Carreras
Delaina Carreras - Bridesmaid
Hi! My name is Delaina, I am Mackenzie’s sorority sister and Big Sister during our time at college. I remember meeting Mackenzie at recruitment and knew from that day forward we would be friends for life. From the day she ran home to Sigma Kappa to becoming roommates post-grad, it has been such an honor and privilege to watch her grow into the woman she is today. The first day I met Tarun, I knew he was a perfect match for Mackenzie to balance her fierce independence, and knew immediately how to care for her tender heart. I am so grateful for both of their friendship even if we’re hundreds of miles apart, we both always make time for spontaneous facetime dates to keep each other in the loop. Here’s to the Adluri’s!
Rohit Krishnan
Rohit Krishnan - Groomsmen
Hi, I’m Rohit, one of the groomsmen in the wedding. I remember seeing Tarun back in middle school, though we didn’t talk much then—probably because we were too cool for each other. In high school, I went through a big chess phase, and it turns out Tarun liked playing too. A game we played in 2011 ended up being our icebreaker, and from that point on, we’ve shared countless memories. I’m truly grateful to be part of this special day.
Sara Williamson
Sara Williamson - Bridesmaid
My name is Sara Williamson and I’ve known Mackenzie since high school. We reconnected through young life during college currently I am a daycare teacher working to get a job in the school system.
Yanik
Yanik - Groomsmen
I am from a tiny Caribbean island, Saint Lucia. Outside of work, I am pretty laid back as I love reading, running, and being a cat dad. Tarun and I met at my very first Sea Isle Park Runners event that Esmeralda just dropped me off and left! At that party, Tarun had cooked the most amazing Indian food. Life changed that day as strangers became friends, friends soon became family, and I gained another brother in Tarun.
Sarah Bissell
Sarah Bissell - Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and I met when I held a surprise engagement party for some of our friends! We bonded over a love for Dolly Parton and sweet treats and had so much fun talking. It was a while until we re-met on a sweet summer girl’s night with some mutual friends - and over drinks and dinner, we both knew we could be fast friends and have been since! I got to meet Tarun when they both invited me over for a fantastic dinner (compliments to the chef as always) and spoiled me with leftovers to take home. Tarun and Mackenzie have both been such thoughtful, warm, and sweet friends to me. Through dinners, movie nights, and silly little adventures to thrift stores, our friendship has felt like we’ve known each other forever. I’m so excited to be a part of their wedding journey and continue to share life with them!
Rishi Madhu
Rishi Madhu - Groomsmen
Hey! I’m Rishi—a nerdy developer and one of Tarun’s oldest (and closest) friends. We go way back to 2015 when we met during our bachelor’s, causing more than a little mischief like true college kids. It’s been a whole decade of friendship, and I’ve got all the embarrassing stories if you ever need them! So proud to stand by him as he starts this new chapter with Mackenzie.
Kabir Nadipalli
Kabir Nadipalli - Ring Bearer
Hi Kabir here. I am 7 years old. I play soccer and golf. I became a big brother in Jan. I have a dog named Kwatttro. I want to be a professional soccer player when I grow up. I have no clue when I met Tarun and Mackenzie first. Tarun and Mackenzie buys me alot of stuff all the time. Tarun and I play Nintendo together. Mackenzie gets me new books and she reads it to me at bedtime when she visits me.
Ronnie Snook
Ronnie Snook - Flower Girl
Mista Tah-Rhun and I go all the way back to the beginning when I graced him with an opportunity to pick me up at my first SIPR group run. I know being able to attend to someone as fabulous as myself meant the absolute world to him. He has labored tirelessly over the years to gain my affections with lavish gifts from foreign lands, countless laps running through my estate, and even acting as my trusty stead from time to time. Now TiTi Mac, a truly top tier ride or die hype queen that every genuine princess like myself needs in her life. She’s one of the few that understands my infallibility and make any dreary day better. Even though they didn’t get my a unicorn to ride down the aisle as I repeatedly requested, I’m happy to bless this wedding with my participation.
Finley Grace Williams
Finley Grace Williams - Flower Girl
Hi! My name is Finley Grace, but you can call me Finley if you’d like. I am 8 years old and have a younger brother and a younger sister. My favorite thing in the world is dancing, specifically ballet and jazz. I absolutely adore Miss Mackenzie. Mr. Tarun is the luckiest man in the world to get to marry her. They’ve both babysat me, and I must say, they are the BEST babysitters. I’m so excited to get to be a flower girl. This will be the first wedding I’ve participated in and I can’t wait for the big day!
