Tyler’s Anchors in life
Tyler’s family truly embodies the definition of Southern hospitality. They are warm, caring, and always ready to make everyone feel welcome. Their fun-loving spirit, endless laughter, and hilarious inside jokes create an atmosphere that’s full of joy and togetherness. They share a close-knit bond and are always there for one another — no matter what. His parents care for their children immensely, always putting them first, no matter how old they are. Family has always been at the center of their lives, and that love shines through in everything they do. Tyler was instantly at ease stepping into Ambika’s big, vibrant family, because he comes from one himself. His own family is full of laughter, and a whole lot of love — always joking, always loud, and always creating the best kind of energy and memories wherever they go.
Ambika's Anchors in life
Ambika’s parents are her rock — her unwavering support and her greatest blessing. They mean the world to her, more than they’ll ever truly know. They’ve taught her to be kind to everyone, to see the good in every situation, and to keep learning and growing every single day. Ambika treasures her long walks with her dad, where she’s inspired by his passion for life, his wisdom, and the way he sees the world. He is one of the strongest people she’ll ever know — someone whose quiet resilience and unwavering strength continue to guide and inspire her every day. She deeply admires her mom for the endless love, positivity, and kindness she radiates — for her big-hearted nature, her laughter, her confidence, and her zest for life. To Ambika, her mom is the definition of a beautiful woman inside and out.
Officiant
Harjeet is someone who will be there for anyone in a heartbeat. She has been a constant source of strength and support for Tyler and Ambika, making her the easiest and most natural choice to officiate their wedding. No matter how busy she is, Harjeet has always shown up — for them, and for Ambika’s family — long before the wedding planning even began. She’s been there every step of the way, never expecting anything in return, embodying a truly selfless and pure heart of gold. She and her husband, Steve, are incredible role models for Tyler and Ambika. The couple continues to learn from them every day — about kindness, generosity, and what it means to live with love and compassion.
Maid of Honor
Megna and Ambika clicked in 8th grade — bonding over their moms’ shared name and never looking back. From basketball to pizza-fueled adventures, they’ve done it all. They know each other so well, and Ambika’s learned a lot about being a good person from her. Ambika’s always admired her boldness, and now loves calling her the mama of her sweet niece. Cheers to Megipops — a nickname and friendship that’s here to stay.
Maid of Honor
Mahita and Ambika became fast friends over email one summer — one in the US, one in India, messaging non-stop and planning to sit together in 8th grade. And they did! Smart, sporty, and effortlessly humble, Mahita’s adventurous spirit and constant support have made her truly special to Ambika. Dancing together has always been pure joy. Cheers to Mahita — for being brilliant, grounded, and just the coolest!
Maid of Honor
Sumegha, aka ChumChum, has been one of Ambika’s childhood constants — smart, grounded, and full of quirks (yes, including her love of cows). From solving problems to singing beautifully, she’s always stood tall and true. She’s also been a huge help to Ambika with math growing up. A lifelong friend and quiet inspiration. Ambika is so lucky to have her by her side.
Bridesmaid
Haleigh, Tyler’s brilliant baby sister, has taught Ambika more about cats — and life — than she ever expected! Exceptionally smart and always tossing out big words, she’s been such a joy to get to know. Ambika’s thrilled to gain such an awesome sister-in-law. Cheers to Haleigh — for the brains, the laughs, and all the cat wisdom!
Bridesmaid
Bhairavi’s the kind of sister-in-law everyone hopes for — caring, grounded, and somehow juggling a million things at once. Ambika’s always looked up to her and loves living in the same city. Ever since she married Ambika’s brother, the bullying has definitely gone down — so, thanks for that! Cheers to Bhairavi — strong, kind, and seriously impressive.
Bridesmaid
Karlee, whom Ambika met here in San Diego, is one of the kindest, most genuine souls she’s ever known. There’s a calmness about her that Ambika truly admires and still hopes to learn from. Their shared love for art and nature created a beautiful bond, and Karlee’s deep talent continues to inspire. Here’s to Karlee — a truly special friend and endless inspiration.
Bridesmaid
Ambika met Jessica while caring for her sweet pup, Linus — and they clicked instantly, making plans to hang out almost right away. Jessica’s bubbly, radiant energy has a way of filling Ambika’s heart with warmth every time they’re together. She shows up for the people she loves without hesitation, and Ambika feels endlessly grateful to have her in her life. Cheers to Jessica — a true gem of a friend.
Best Man
Taylor has always been the kind of guy with a strong personality—confident, bold, and impossible to miss. He and Tyler go way back, all the way to middle school. One of Tyler's favorite memories with Taylor is the time they told everyone at school they had zip-lined down Stone Mountain. It wasn’t exactly true, but the story stuck—and so did the laughter.
Best Man
Trenton is the definition of honor, courage, and commitment. From the very beginning, he’s been a real one—loyal, dependable, and always showing up when it counts.
Best Man
Malik is the kind of guy who always speaks his mind—outspoken, confident, and never afraid to keep it real. He and Tyler go back to our sophomore year of high school, where they first met in culinary class. A lot of good memories started there.
Groomsman
Ashwin is a true master juggler — balancing time with his three kids and with everyone else around him. He’s one of the biggest extroverts Tyler has ever met, always radiating happiness and positivity. Tyler deeply admires him and feels honored to have grown close to his wonderful kids, spending time with the beautiful family Ashwin has built. Always helpful and open-hearted, Ashwin makes it easy to see why his kids (and everyone else) love him so much.
Groomsman
Varun’s obsession with soccer never fails to crack Tyler up. He’s such a soft, sweet guy who genuinely cares about everyone around him — and Tyler can’t help but watch him closely, picking up his little quirks and trying to copy them for fun.
Groomsman
Nisarg is always welcoming and ready to help anyone who crosses his path — and Tyler really loves that about him. He also enjoys Nisarg’s great sense of humor, often joking that he’s got “presidential qualities".
Groomsman
Ravi, a proud new dad, is exactly the kind of guy you want by your side as a groomsman. Smart, caring, and always ready with an answer for anything, he naturally takes the lead and keeps everyone on track — and that’s something we all love about him.
