Davika Patel
Bride
Hi, I am Davika and I am excited to celebrate with everyone.
Steve Scanniello
Best Man
Hey my name is Steve and I’m the bald best man. Tom and I met at a friend’s birthday party which ended with me breaking my ankle playing basketball. After I healed, Tom and I would join forces to make one of the best classic rock tribute bands that Clinton, Nj has ever seen. Many moons later, Tommy would meet the love of his life Davika. You can tell from day one that they shared something special. I’m excited to be able to stand next to them on their special day.
Deviya Patel
Maid of Honor
Hi I’m Dev. I am Davika’s shorter, smarter, and funnier twin sister. I am the Monica in Davika’s life. If you know you know. These past couple of years have been unstable and uncertain but one thing that stood the test of time is the love Tom and Davika have for each other. Being Davika’s twin there will always be an unbreakable bond that we have through the good and bad times. Sorry Tom, you’re getting a 2 for 1 package. We love a good deal.
Benito Rodrigues
Best Man
Hello I’m Benito, Tom’s best Brazilian friend. I’ve known Tom since middle school where I could barely speak English, but we been friends ever since. I met Davika at Toms house where we bonded by picking on Tom together. Also got to have many great memories together like the engagement party and delicious dinners that Davika makes and Deserts! They make a beautiful couple, and I’m super exited that that I get to be part of their special day.
Deepika Seethamraju-Cruz
Matron of Honor
Hi, my name is Deepika, and I am one of Davika's oldest and maybe weirdest friends (since elementary school). We can always pick up from last over a cup of good coffee/cold brew or a happy hour, no matter the time or distance between us. Davika is like a sister from a different mother (literally). From truth/dare at sleepovers to food/drink experiences in the city, we have been there for each of the small and big moments of life.
Thomas John Theroux
Groomsman
Hi I’m TJ and I met Tommy D in my 5th grade class. Ever since then, we grew up together; riding bikes to Mr. Chills, playing basketball, and flying out to LA. Life wouldn’t be the same without him in our friend group. When he introduced us to Davika, we all knew he found someone special. I am so happy to see them begin this journey together and thankful to be part of their special day. Plus, I can’t wait for a lifetime of her amazing cookies!
Catherine DaFonseca
Bridesmaid
I am Toms older sister. Davika and I first met at one of Tom’s backyard BBQ parties after Tom’s best friend Steve spoiled the beans of Tom having a girlfriend! Davika has been a great addition to the family and can’t wait to be official sisters in October!
Thomas Duh
Groomsman
Yo, I’m Thomas. I met Tom on the first day of 7th grade when I moved from Mississippi; when Tom was skinny and had hair so long, everyone in middle school wanted to buzz it. Because we share the coolest first name, Tom was the man that named me Duh. No matter where our adventures took us— from the DaFonseca’s basement to Jersey swiping in his Honda Accord and drinking champagne on an airplane— I’ve always counted on Tom to go hard wherever he’s at. The Fred Flinstone of our friend group for many reasons, Tom has been the bedrock keeping us together all these years. I have no doubt he’ll bring that same energy into this next stage of life with Davika by his side. Yabba dabba doo.
Paige Williams
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Davika since sophomore year of college, when we worked together at Montclair State. She very quickly became a shoulder to cry on when I was upset, a sounding board for my (usually) stupid ideas, and the keeper of my secrets. I definitely couldn’t have gotten through college without her! Seeing her happy with Tom has been the greatest thing ever, she’s one of the best people I know and I’m so happy they found each other!
Christopher G. Haines
Groomsman
Hi, my name is Haines. I've known Tommy D since I was in middle school. Since we first met, I've changed quite a bit, but Tommy D has always been the man you see before you today. He's always been the best person to rely on for making decisions and sticking to his guns. So when I met Davika for the first time, I knew he had decided to keep this young lady around. She's even picked up calling me Haines, in perfect DaFonseca form. She's the perfect complement to the Diesel we all know and love, and we're all looking forward to spending this special day of celebration with them.
Namrah Ali
Bridesmaid
Hi, my name is Namrah; I've known Davika ever since I met my husband, Raza, a long time ago as she's Raza's best friend. Over these past few years, we have made a strong bond together has defined our friendship. We've been there for each other during some of the best and worst times, and I'm always grateful for that! Davika is one of the kindest and most selfless friends I have, and I'm blessed to be a bridesmaid to make sure she has one hell of a wedding! As a bonus, I am the female version of Tom, and Davika is the female version of Raza, so naturally, we are bound to get along.
Omar Tun
Groomsman
Hi, I’m Omar. I’m one of Tommy D’s friends from high school. I randomly sat at his lunch table because I didn’t have anywhere else to go and here I am today (momma we made it!). In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, tennis, and ringing Tom’s neighbor’s doorbells at 1 am. I’m also stealing some credit for introducing Tom to Indian culture so he can prep himself for the crazy festivities to come.
Sarah Chang
Bridesmaid
I've known Davika since the 3rd grade. Back then we didn't start off as the best of friends, in fact, I think I used to dislike her, but we quickly formed a friendship that has strengthened and deepened with time. I can without a doubt say that Davika is one of my best friends and a friend for life. It has also been a pleasure to witness Tom and Davika's relationship from the very beginning and I am so glad that Davika has found someone who cares as much about her as I do and one day I will beat Tom at arm wrestling.
Baby
Pup of honor
Hi I’m Baby. I’m Davika’s other older, cuter and fluffier sister. Some people know me as the real queen of the castle. Which I am. Wrapping people around my little paw is my speciality. When I first met Tom he wasn’t my favorite hooman. He was a tall and scary hooman. But over time I got to like him and now he loves me so much he allows me to sleep in his bed. I can’t wait for them to get married so they can give me a brother in paw. Or sister in paw.
