George & Meghana
Wedding Party
Kurian Thomas
Best Man
Kurian is my younger brother, but in many ways acts like the older one out of the two of us. He is wise beyond his years and is my go-to person for advice on most things in life. Kurian is an aerospace engineer out in Denver, Colorado, where he lives with his wonderful wife, Lauren, and is gearing up to be a father to twin girls! He always makes it a point to note how much taller he is than me, but i kindly remind him that I have much better hair and can still beat him up. Kurian is my best friend and I am so blessed to have him by my side for my big day!
Manasa Ozhathil
Matron of Honor
Manasa is my older sister, and for much of my life I've been following in her footsteps. She's been my best friend, mentor, and confidant for the last 31 years. I was blessed to be able to spend college and medical school with her where many of our nights were filled with countless of hours of studying balanced with a "healthy" dose of pizza and Netflix binging. She and her wonderful husband Deepak have given me one of my life's greatest honors-being an aunt to my amazingly smart and talented niece Mariam-who you will see as one of our flower girls on our big day, and my sweet puppy nephew Bear.
Ethan Marks
Groomsman
Ethan is one of my oldest friends, going all the way back to high school. We have come a long way from our days of geeking out at New Horizons Govenor's School, jamming to Daddy Yankee in AP Spanish class, and throwing themed birthday parties. Ethan is now a busy lawyer up in Boston, where he lives with his wife, Elyse, and adorable son, Josh. If we ever find ourselves back in Poquoson at the same time, we always make it a point to meet up for a game of poker or some pick-up basketball.
Rivvi Kukkamalla
Maid of Honor
Rivvi is my younger sister and essentially my twin in almost every way. A lot of people have trouble telling us apart! In her, I have one of my biggest supporters, fashion gurus, and just all around best friends. She is an independent spirit who encourages me to challenge myself, living life outside of my comfort zone. I am so incredibly proud of the woman she has become, but she will always be my baby sister. She has also given me the gift of another furbaby- my adorable and highly energetic Peach!
Samarth Gola
Groomsman
Samarth is one of my closest friends. We met as freshman at Virginia Commonwealth University and have not looked back. It seems like just yesterday when we were studying for Biomechanics into the wee hours of the night. He is one of the smartest people I know (only person in our engineering school to finish with a 4.0) and has been such a loyal friend to me through the years. Samarth is a radiologist in Richmond, Virginia, where he lives with his wife Reshma, and their fur baby, Fifi. He is my go-to teammate for 2 on 2 basketball and my dance partner whenever they play "Teach Me How To Dougie."
Neha Manikonda
Bridesmaid
My friendship with Neha started as college freshmen-I saw her name on a list of potential roommates, and after noticing her Telugu-sounding last name I decided then and there that we would become best friends. She had no idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to live with me, but 13 years later we're still standing strong! We made the most of our time together in Birmingham and despite living in separate places once we left UAB, we always manage to pick back up right where we left off. If you're in the market for some embarrassing stories of me, I'm sure she will happily enlighten you!
