Jessica & Nirmal
Wedding Party
Jennifer Saavedra
Mother of the Bride
I’m so proud to introduce my amazing mom! She has sacrificed so much to be the best mom to me and my brother, Jacob, and a huge part of who I am today is thanks to her. Even though she’s been in Alaska, she has always been a big part of my life. We can spend hours on the phone, sharing everything, and I cherish those conversations. I love her so much and am so grateful to have her by my side on this special day!
Hina Patel
Mother of the Groom
Hina Patel, the list seems short for those that do not know my mother. For the folks that don't, she is the life of the party, always welcoming to guests and constantly firing on all cylinders. Her smile lights a room and fills it with laughter and joy. She is extremely strong willed and loves hard. She has always played a direct role into my success as a man and has selflessly supported my sister and I. We couldn't be more thankful to have her support as we embark on this new chapter.
Arjun Ramsunder
Best Man
High school friends that go back to second grade. From cross country road trips to wild vacations, Arjun and I have been inseparable for many years, often being called my pseudo husband. Having lived together for some time, I have come to truly respect Arjun's attitude towards life. He is intelligent, quick witted, and completely selfless, always putting other's needs before his own.
Rosa Perez
Matron of Honor
I’m thrilled to have Rosa as my Matron of Honor! Our friendship began on Instagram, where we connected over our love for running. We trained together in a fantastic friend group for a marathon, and that experience brought us incredibly close. Rosa is not only a talented runner but also a wonderful friend who has been a constant source of support and encouragement. I can’t wait to celebrate this special day with her by my side!
Richard Wang
Groomsman
A true gift to all those that meet Richard. He is someone I trust with the most intimate details of my life and I know he always is looking out for me and my family. Constantly curious, Richard is someone whom I am always crying laughing with. His positivity and humor are traits I always find myself learning from and I am proud to have him as one of my closest friends.
Dalia Bashiti
Bridesmaid
Dalia is my ride-or-die from way back. We’ve been friends since our Big Springs elementary school days and have somehow managed to stay just as close through every stage of life. She knows everything about me (and I mean everything) and vice versa. We’re the kind of friends who can go months without talking and then pick up the phone like no time has passed. During the pandemic, we basically lived on the phone.. I’m convinced I would’ve lost my mind in my hamster cage apartment without her. She’s the life of every party, endlessly genuine, and one of the most authentic people I know. I’m beyond lucky to have her by my side.
Narain Reddy
Groomsman
My sweet Raja, one of the most thoughtful humans I know and one of my closest friends from High School. Narain embodies the man I admire most with a strong morale compass and virtues. I have always enjoyed being around Narain whether we're celebrating life accomplishments or simply catching up. He is as humble as he is hardworking and consistently puts the needs of himself aside to further promote the greater good.
Hannah Koenig
Bridesmaid
I’m excited to have Hannah as a bridesmaid! Our friendship began in AOII, and I still laugh when I think about our first outing together—shopping for our initiation outfits, where my goofy side came out. I like to say she’s the blonde version of me, and our shared humor makes us inseparable. As college roommates, we created so many unforgettable memories, and even though we now live in different states, our bond remains strong. I can’t wait to share this special day with her by my side!
Sandesh Karki
Groomsman
A truly unforgettable character and one of the hardest workers I know. Since meeting and becoming close in High School, Sandesh has always pushed himself to be his best self, which I have always respected. He is authentically himself always and his fiercely loyal to his friends. Another life of the party, Sandesh is able to make connections like no other and genuinely values his relationships.
Tess Hill
Bridesmaid
I’m thrilled to have Tess as a bridesmaid! We met through Nirmal, and she quickly became one of my first true adult friends. What I admire most about Tess is her ability to accept me for who I am, and that has made our friendship incredibly special. I cherish all the hours we’ve spent talking and sipping coffee together—those moments are some of my favorites. I can’t wait to celebrate this special day with her by my side!
Aman Narayan
Groomsman
I have always thought of Aman as my big brother. He has always been someone I can count on when starting new roles and when I have needed life advice. He is pragmatic and extremely well spoken and I have always looked up to him as a role model of proper morals and strong life values. Had he not become a doctor, I have no doubt he would be creating policies to better humanity.
Tyrani Sanders
Bridesmaid
I’m so grateful to have Tyrani as a bridesmaid! We met through AOII and became college roommates during our senior year. Having her live with me meant she got to know all my quirks, and she embraced every single one! Tyrani's support and understanding have made our friendship so special. I can't wait to celebrate this amazing day with her by my side!
Max McCaskill
Groomsman
The big bud to my little bud! Max has been my closest friend from University of Houston and I am so thankful to have him in my life. He brings constant laughter to everyone around him and often makes me smile when I have felt down. I have always admired Max for being authentically himself and someone I can always count on in life.
Jacob Saavedra
Groomsman
I am so excited and honored to have Jacob as a groomsmen! Having been able spend quality time with him over the years, I see why he means so much to his mom and sister as he is kind and gentle hearted. I am so proud to have Jacob as my brother-in-law and cannot wait to make countless memories together.
Miya Patel
Bridesmaid
I’m thrilled to have Miya as a bridesmaid! As Nirmal’s little sister, she quickly became the little sister I always wanted. Currently at Texas Tech, Miya has brought so much joy and laughter into my life. We’ve created countless goofy memories together, and I cherish every moment we’ve shared. I can’t wait to celebrate this special day with her!
