Matron of Honor
My Matron of Honor is my mom—my constant, my confidant, and my best friend. She’s the person I talk to every single day, no matter what’s going on, and the one I text goodnight to every night without fail. Some of my favorite times with her are spent playing board games and laughing together. Her love, support, and steady presence mean everything to me, and I truly can’t imagine this day without her by my side.
Maid of Honor
My Maid of Honor is my cousin—the sister I never had. We grew up making the best memories together, from camping at music festivals to visiting our family’s hometown of Glastonbury, CT, and spending time at the Jersey shore. Even though we haven’t always lived close to each other and life can get busy, we always pick up right where we left off. Some of my favorite moments with her are the quiet ones, listening to music together while we journal. She means so much to me, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side on our special day.

Emilie, my sister-in-law, welcomed me into her home and her family with open arms from the very beginning. She has been my go-to person for all the little details that come with planning, not only for the wedding but also for our engagement party—which she so generously hosted at her home. She also made me an aunt, and I’ve loved watching her grow into such an amazing mother to her son, my nephew Jayson. Her kindness, support, and thoughtfulness mean so much to me, and I’m so grateful to have her as my sister-in-law.

Anisha was the first roommate I met when starting at New York Medical College, and I’m so lucky she came into my life right from the beginning of that chapter. She has the most bubbly personality and brings so much joy and energy wherever she goes. One of my favorite memories is when she let me borrow an outfit so I could celebrate my first Diwali with her—such a special and meaningful experience I’ll always cherish. I’m so grateful for her friendship and so excited to have her by my side on this day.

Shravya and I became fast friends as roommates in medical school, bonding instantly over our shared love of video games, similar music taste, and cats.

Although residency has taken us to opposite sides of the country, our friendship has remained just as strong. Every time we reunite, it feels like no time has passed at all. I’m so lucky to have her in my life.

Faria and I met during medical school, and I was immediately drawn to her outgoing personality and the compassion she shows to everyone around her. Even during the busiest and most exhausting study days, she always encouraged me to step out of my shell, socialize, and take a break to grab something to eat. She has been a constant source of support and has stood by me through some of life’s toughest moments. I truly cherish our friendship and feel so lucky to have her in my life.

Best Man
kjot and I met during our time at Binghamton University, and we’ve been close friends ever since. What started with college nights spent partying together, watching sports, and making memories quickly turned into a lifelong friendship built on loyalty and shared ambition. Through the grind, stress, and countless hours of studying, we always had each other’s support along the way. Even now, we constantly keep in touch and always cherish the time we get to spend together — whether it’s going on fishing trips, grabbing dinner, or simply hanging out at the house. No matter the setting, the time is always filled with nonstop jokes, laughs, and the kind of friendship that has only grown stronger over the years. I’m grateful to have him standing by my side.
Best Man
Areeb and I met on our very first day at Binghamton University, and we’ve been like brothers ever since. After becoming roommates during our last two years of college, our friendship only grew stronger through all the memories, challenges, and day-to-day moments we shared together. He has always been one of my go-to people to talk to about life, no matter what’s going on. Even with more distance between us these days, whenever we talk or are lucky enough to meet up, it feels like no time has passed at all. The friendship, laughs, and connection have always stayed the same, and I’m grateful to have him standing by my side on such an important day.
Groomsman
Angelo is my older cousin, and we’ve shared years of memories growing up together, from summers spent at the lake to countless hours playing video games, going to concerts, and cheering on the New Jersey Devils together. I credit Angelo and Joe for introducing me to the music I grew up with and still listen to to this day. I’ll never forget when Angelo took me to my first concert without my parents while I was in middle school to see All Time Low. It’s special that years later, we still get to make new memories together seeing many of those same bands. Ang has always been someone I trust and confide in, and I’m happy to have him by my side on such an important day.

Joe is my older cousin, and he’s always been there for me whenever I needed him. Growing up, there was nothing more exciting than when Joe would come up to New York from Florida to visit. Some of my favorite memories growing up together are watching highlights of Kobe Bryant, playing NBA 2K in the basement, listening to music for hours, as well as watching NBA games together every Christmas. I am so fortunate that we still get to make new memories together now. Even though we can’t always see each other as much as we’d like, our phone calls to catch up always make my week better. Those conversations always remind me how strong our bond is, and I’m grateful to have him by my side on such an important day.

Justin and I met in medical school and became close friends. During our third year, we lived together on the Upper East Side, spending our free time going to concerts and exploring NYC with our friends. Although he’s now in Philadelphia completing residency at Temple, we still make time to visit when we can—and when we can’t, there’s always a good phone call to catch up.

Matias and I started anesthesia residency together in the same year, and have stayed close ever since. What started with shared long hours turned into a strong friendship and a reliable support system. Outside of work, we spend time hanging out, listening to music, grabbing drinks, and talking through whatever life throws at us.

My cousin Will and I grew up spending summers together in Myrtle Beach—fishing, hanging out on the beach, and bouncing between pools all day. Those trips are some of my favorite memories. It’s been great to stay close over the years and even better to see him step into a new chapter as a dad to his daughter, Francesca.

I’m incredibly grateful to have Liam as my brother-in-law and to have him by my side as we celebrate the wedding day. I always look forward to trips to Cazenovia with Mikayla, especially knowing we’ll get to spend time with him. Whether it’s Mario Party, Parcheesi, or Settlers of Catan, there’s always some friendly competition and a lot of laughs. I’m also thankful for the shows and movies he’s introduced us to along the way. I feel very fortunate to have him as family and I’m looking forward to making many more memories together in the years ahead.

I am lucky to have him by my side and to have him as part of our family.
