Aarthi & David

Wedding Party

Meet our Bridal Party!

Preethi

Maid of Honor

Aarthi is my akka (big sister)! We are complete opposites in every way, but I think that’s what makes us so fun! I can’t wait to stand by her side and watch her get married <3 PS. She made me fight the rest of the bridal party for this spot, true fact.

I met Aarthi in high school in Texas where we instantly became best friends over our shared love of ice cream. Since then, despite the miles that have separated us, our bond has only grown stronger. From coast to coast, we've racked up the frequent flyer miles with countless trips to see each other, proving that true friendship knows no distance!

Greg Opara

Bridesman

It’s crazy to think that Aarthi and I started out as building-mates Freshman year almost 15 years ago, and now we’ve been best friends for over 10 years. We’ve cheered each other on through some of the biggest moments of our lives since then, and this will just be the latest of many more to come. I’m excited and honored that I’ll get to be part of this great celebration of the love she’s found with David, and I’m even more excited to see all the amazing things they do together in the years and decades to come.

Isabel Tanco

Bridesmaid

Hi! I’m Isabel, and I met Aarthi in high school, where we immediately hit it off, and we’ve been besties ever since. Life has taken us to faraway places, but the distance can’t stop us! I’ve loved sharing in Aarthi’s journey as she has in mine, in Dallas, Lubbock, Amarillo, Phoenix, New Orleans, Netherlands, Germany (where I live now), and even a quick rendezvous in Spain. I’m delighted to be by her side for her and David’s special day ❤️

Lori Xu

Bridesmaid

I knew Aarthi would be my forever friend after the sniffing sesh (bath and body works) on the tennis court that first year at WashU. Since then, our friendship, from the snow/cotton fields of West Texas, to summit seltzers on piestewa, have been one adventure after another. My love and excitement for Aarthi surpasses even the highest of peaks, and I am thrilled to be Aarthi's (hopefully) loudest woo-girl! Catch me on the dance floor or screaming "SHOTS!" and "Gas Pedal" the whole wedding

Evelyn Qin

Bridesmaid

Hello, I’m Evelyn! I had the luck of first crossing paths with Aarthi during our time at Washington University in St Louis where we spent four years together as tennis teammates (Go Bears!) and suite mates. Since then, we have stayed close friends as we’ve navigated careers in medicine and life in general. I’m excited to join her and all her loved ones in celebrating her marriage!

Staecy Kim

Bridesmaid

Hi I’m Staecy! Aarthi and I met on the first day of residency in the bathroom trying on scrubs. Since then we have shared every up and down, through thick and thin, on our best and worst days. I call her my soul mate of a friend and I am so thankful to share another beautiful experience with her as she marries her love ❤️

Sarah Sherer

Bridesmaid

Hi, it’s Sarah Sherer! Aarthi and I met in pediatric residency and it was during this time that we bonded over good food, music, and deep conversation. I couldn’t have survived without her!

Janice Khoo

Bridesmaid

Aarthi and I quickly became friends in residency when I realized that Aarthi had a couch with a chaise and I kept coming over to sit in her favorite corner and watch Friends. Now Aarthi can’t get rid of me! Our favorite pastime includes running mundane errands together, making/eating any dish that includes corn, and doing nothing…together.
