Jared & Sunanda
Wedding Party
Mounica Chilukuri
Maid of Honor
Hi, I’m the bride’s older sister! I graduated from OSU in 2018, with a degree in biology and psychology. I am currently working towards attending medical school next year. I hope to work with children and make an impact for Christ in the medical field. I love being creative through singing, dancing, and art, and I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, being goofy and making others laugh! It is crazy to believe that my little sister is getting married. Growing up, Sunanda and I have always been very close, enough for people to ask if we were twins! I am so proud of the talented and kind woman she is, and I could not be happier that she found her forever partner in Jared. Jared has always been an incredible and loyal friend to her, and I know they will make an amazing team!
Zach Spoelstra
Best Man
I'm a recent graduate of the University of Cincinnati with a degree in chemical engineering. I enjoy playing volleyball, reading, nerdy board games, and playing instruments. I have so many amazing memories with Jared. From the first time we met in middle school to helping with his proposal. Many late-night movies and gaming sessions, playing sports and disc golf together and getting ripped off as painters for a summer (long story). Jared is someone I can always be honest with and I enjoy our deep spiritual conversations. He is thoughtful and intentional, and I know I can always count on him. Sunanda is an amazing musician, super caring, and patient. She is a perfect fit for Jared. My favorite memory with Jared and Sunanda was a trip to LA where we had a lot of laughs and fun experiences.
Averie Armbrust
Bridesmaid
Hi my name is Averie Armbrust and I’m 23 years old. I am a full-time missionary and recently got back from a year-long mission trip. I enjoy long hikes in the mountain, board game nights, playing volleyball, listening to classic rock, and eating chicken nuggets. I first met Sunanda and Jared when we attended Davis Middle School. We got super close around high school going to youth group together. From youth retreats and school dances to the many game nights and fam vacations, I’m excited to be a part of this next journey in their lives.
Aidan Farrell
Best Man
My name is Aidan Farrell and I've known Jared since first grade when we became instant best friends on the playground. Growing up with Jared was a wild ride, from sleepovers to sports tournaments, and through it all, we stayed best buds. One of my favorite things about this wedding is having watched Jared and Sunanda's friendship start in 6th grade and change over the years, eventually leading us right to this moment, watching 2 people in love take the biggest steps of their lives.
Kate Hejduk
Bridesmaid
I met Sunanda when I was in sixth grade at Grace Powell in the student ministry and she’s been one of my best friends ever since. We’ve been through 11 years of life together; over the years, we’ve been best friends, workout pals, roommates, shopping buddies, and everything in between. 11 years ago when I met Jared and Sunanda, I couldn’t have imagined standing next to both of them on their big day. And I couldn’t be more excited to see where the Lord takes them.
River Carpenter
Groomsman
I am the oldest of 9 kids - a feat I am very proud of. I'm pursuing a degree in Welding Engineering and spend my Summers working on jet engines for GE Aviation. I help with the American Welding Society here on campus, I can juggle, and I can do a few hat tricks. I've gotten very involved in our pistol club at OSU. I first met Jared in Bible Study with CRU Freshman year. I recall being intimidated by the leaders and their knowledge of the Bible and I felt far from adequate to participate. However, despite the inadequate feelings I felt, I had a sense of awe of Jared. The knowledge he had of the Bible made me want to pursue that level of knowledge so that I may too impart it on others. Jared was always pursuing God in so many ways and quickly became inspirational for my walk with God today.
Katie Park
Bridesmaid
My name is Katie Park and I met Suun through Cru at Ohio State. We first met at Freshman Leadership Team (FLT). Apparently, (I didn’t know this then), but I was her first friend that she made through Cru and I couldn’t be happier about that. Later on, I was blessed to be able to stand next to her on stage at Cru and lead worship. Her voice brings me LIFE (besides Jesus Christ of course). Seeing her and singing with her, not once, but twice a week was so amazing. Suun is someone you can always rely on. She has the sweetest heart and I am so thankful for our friendship. She has made me a stronger leader and friend to others because of the kindness that she brought to our relationship. I could NOT be more excited that she and Jared are getting married and can’t wait to hear them say “I do!"
Carson Cooke
Groomsman
I recently graduated from Ohio State with a degree in Finance, married my beautiful wife Madison, moved to Hilliard, and started work as a Wealth Management Analyst. Though we share an interest in accounting and finance, this was not how or why Jared and I met. Jared and I were both involved with CRU at OSU and Movement Church in Hilliard. I actually spent a lot more time with Suun (in the beginning) since we both played in the CRU and Movement bands. But it wasn’t long before I realized how much of a gem Jared was and we jumped into a great friendship together. Jared’s intentionality, integrity, leadership, kindness, and humor are just a few things that I enjoy and respect so much. I cannot wait to continue our friendship into his and Suun’s marriage.
Jordynne Bently
Bridesmaid
Hey everyone! My name is Jordynne and Sunanda and I have been friends since we were little kids. We’ve walked through the thick and thin and have dreamed about standing by each other’s side on our wedding days for as long as I can remember. Sunanda stood by my side last November on my wedding day and now almost a year later I get to do that for her! It was the absolute best day when I found out that Sunanda and Jared had FINALLY confessed their love for one another after we had seen it coming from miles away so many years ago. You could say Tom and I are Sunanda and Jared’s biggest hype men. Excited to stand by your side sis!
Tom Bently
Groomsman
I recently married the love of my life, Jordynne, and I work as a music director at Rock City Church in Columbus, Ohio! We got a puppy a few months back and our lives currently revolve around him. Jared and I met way back in high school and made plenty of great memories hanging out with our group of guy friends, pulling all-nighter parties, and making trouble during summer retreats. Jared has been a consistent, close, and valuable friend ever since we met. He stood by my side at my wedding, and I can’t wait to do the same for him! It only took 5 years and a sunny day in California for Jordynne, our friends and I to get Jared and Sunanda together, but we saw their sweet friendship turning into something more from miles away. So excited for you guys!
