Bride
When I think of Irene, it might sound cheesy, but I see the person I want to spend my life with—the one I can grow old with, start a family with, and have fun with along the way. What initially drew me to Irene was her fiery, take-no-prisoners attitude, something I struggled to express myself. As we worked together for years and started spending more time together, even though she only had the patience for '5 minutes of Nitin,' I found myself missing her when we were apart. That's when I realized I truly loved her. Irene always keeps me on my toes; life is never boring with her around. She gives me confidence and believes in me when I doubt myself. She has taught me the true meaning of love, and I always strive to give that love back to her. Irene is the queen of my world, the best dog mom ever. She deserves an award for putting up with me, and I can't wait to be her husband.
Groom
In Nitin, I've found not just a partner, but a source of unwavering strength and love. His charm and easygoing nature have a way of soothing even the most turbulent storms within me. With him by my side, I've discovered a resilience I never knew I possessed. I never realized the depths of my affection for him until it hit me like a wrestler's steel chair to the back. Sure, I might deserve a medal for enduring his quirks and antics, but let's be real, Nitin deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. As we embark on this next chapter together, Winston and I feel truly blessed to have Nitin as the cornerstone of our family. I eagerly anticipate the adventures that lie ahead, knowing that with him, our journey will be filled with love, joy, and endless possibilities. I cannot say enough how much I love this man.
Maid of Honor
Meet my dear friend, Paige, my true partner in crime for almost 20 years She is this incredible mix of brains and humor that has turned our friendship into one heck of a ride. Her clever quips and lightning-fast wit transform every moment into a joyous adventure. I've always been able to count on Paige when life has thrown me curve balls. She is my sister. Our goofy escapades as teenagers to the more grown-up moments like K-pop concerts (complete with crying, screaming, fan chants, and more crying) are core memories that I will cherish forever. I cannot be more excited than to have Paige as my Maid of Honor.
Best Man
Rahul, my best man, embodies everything you could wish for in a brother. He serves as the finest example, a steadfast support system, a moral compass, and a true friend. He is the individual I would choose for almost any undertaking and the first person who comes to mind when contemplating a journey around the world. Undoubtedly, he is the primary reason I stand here today. He is unequivocally the sole reason I remain intact and not marred by the recklessness of my youth. He's a better brother than yours because he is my brother and I love him more than anything, but not more than Irene.
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I go way back – back to the golden era when Family Guy was still considered hilarious. From surviving the teen drama years to enduring the back-aching adventures of adulthood, Sarah and I have tackled it all. I can't recall a time when we weren't cracking jokes, even in the midst of life's more challenging moments. She's the friend who's had my back through thick and thin, or in our case, through funny punchlines and not-so-funny backaches. I owe a ton to Sarah and will forever be thankful for having her in my life. Here's to the laughter, the support, and the enduring bond with my partner-in-comedy, Sarah!
Groomsman
What can I say about Abhishek? I absolutely love the guy. We grew up together, shared so much, love the same kind of music, laugh at the same jokes, and would probably go to the ends of the earth for the best food. I know he always has my back and is ready to answer whenever that phone rings to lift my mood, even if it's at the darkest depth.
Bridesman
From the high school marching band and lunchroom sagas to college bars and those late-night McDonald's escapades with Paige and Frank. Josh has been the perpetual parent of our crew. Always ensuring we didn't settle for just 1 McChicken – it had to be 2! Our treasure trove of inside jokes, badly sung jingles, and those epic duck faces on Snapchat – Josh has been the maestro of laughter during the good times and the comforting hug during the tough ones. If Josh was a restaurant, he'd be a 5-star Michelin.

On paper, Julian and I are like chalk and cheese, but when we are together, it's like a good fight and a lovely pint. We complement each other so well and make a fantastic team. We went to college together, lived together, came to America together, ran a bar together, and miraculously didn't end up killing each other. Well, there was that one time during a project, but we don't talk about that. Julian is not just my best friend but a brother by choice. He welcomed me to his home in Ireland, making me feel like part of the family. Whenever I'm with my brother Julian, it gives me that sense of family that you miss when you are away from home.
Bridesmaid
Shelby is the master of quick comebacks and banter. Our friendship began during my first week at my new job. The moment I met her, I decided we were friends. I gave her no choice in the matter and offered no insight into how crazy our friendship would become. Always a text and a classroom walk away, I know my weeks are filled with laughter and lame jokes. While I have crazy thoughts and ideas, Shelby will come through with the logic and rightfully bring me back down to earth. It must be the Capricorn in her that counters my Leo energy. I'm happy to say that after 3 years, she has come to terms with the fact that our friendship is forever.
Groomsman
It's crazy to think of my college years without The Boy Band. I could come up with a reason for any one of those guys to stand beside me on my wedding day, and it would make sense. Simon and I have always been close and never missed a beat. We bonded and grew even closer because of our mutual love of sports, and he is the only person I could speak to about Cricket. Simon has the highest score at the Bunratty Super Sixes and is the reason we lost the ball; his dad wiped the floor with all of us at beer pong. If you can find a nicer, more loyal friend, you're lucky.
Bridesmaid
Aidyn is like a warm hug in human form, effortlessly entwining herself into the very heart of our family. Throughout the last few years, we have grown closer, making time to visit and keeping the lines of communication open. Her wit and comebacks are second to none. I'm incredibly grateful to have her and Brian by our side as Nitin, and I embark on our new journey, knowing we can rely on their guidance and support.
Groomsman
In the chaos, jokes, and even some WWE matches, Brian's character development shines the brightest among us all. Despite our different interests and life's ups and downs, we've always found common ground in mischief, laughter, and unwavering loyalty. It brings me joy to see how Brian has grown into the person he is today. His deep appreciation for life and family is something I truly admire and sometimes envy. Nitin and I feel incredibly blessed to have Brian and Aidyn as glowing examples of love and family commitment standing right beside us.
Ring Bearer
Christopher is the best nephew in the universe. No one can change our minds. His infectious laughter has become our family's daily source of happiness, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. As our ring bearer, Christopher adds a touch of innocence and purity to the celebration, symbolizing the promise of new beginnings and the boundless love that he has effortlessly introduced into our lives.
Pet to the Bride and Groom
Winston is our cherished child. His spirited and affectionate personality has injected delightful chaos into our lives. Winston's boundless enthusiasm for treats, tug of war, and cuddles adds a joyful rhythm to our daily routine. He serves as the missing puzzle piece that completes and enhances the unity of our family.
