Our Wedding

Born April 8th, Monica grew up under the California sun in the Bay Area, a kid who loved building treehouses, playing every sport she could, and finding pure joy in a good meal.

Monica Jain (no middle name)

Born two months later on June 16th, Alex grew up across the country in Western Massachusetts, a small-town kid with a big imagination, a quick sprint, and a curiosity for the world beyond his doorstep.

Alexander Frederick Scyocurka

Monica attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, and the year after she graduated, Alex spent a post-graduate year there to play football before heading to college. Monica even returned to campus that fall for the 2009 homecoming game, the very game where Alex broke records on the field, though neither knew of the other yet. Through a mutual friend from Exeter, Alex came across Monica’s photo on Facebook and never quite forgot her. Years would pass before their paths truly crossed, but the connection had quietly begun.

The Connection

Fast-forward to 2021, twelve years later: Alex and Monica finally meet over video chat. He was living in New York City, working in sales and doing theatre, while she had completed medical school and residency in Los Angeles. When they finally met in person that summer in LA, Alex knew immediately she was the one. (This photo was taken the very first day they met in person.)

The Reconnection

They met that summer in LA, but life was pulling them in different directions. A year later, fate stepped in again. Alex returned to LA during a six-month tour with New Jack City, with plans to move to Atlanta afterward, and he and Monica met up for a drink. Within minutes, the spark reignited, and this time, it stuck. Alex never made it to Atlanta; he stayed in LA, and they’ve been together ever since.

The Real Beginning

Now they can’t wait to start this next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.

And So It Begins

Q + A

Below is a guide to help you choose outfits for each event. Indian clothing is warmly encouraged for everyone, but always optional. Many guests choose to wear Indian attire for one or more events, and we’d love for you to join in. How many Indian outfits do you need? Most non-Indian guests choose to wear 1 to 3 Indian outfits across the weekend. You do not need Indian attire for every event. Many guests mix Indian and non-Indian outfits or rewear outfits across events. A quick note on weather: the Bay Area can get chilly, even in June, especially near the water. A light jacket or wrap is recommended for outdoor portions of the weekend.
