Ronak and Jessica
Wedding Party
Brittany Vasquez
Maid of Honor
Brittany and I have been friends for over 12 years. I moved to Indiana before my jr. year and she was in the grade below me. Our friendship grew through soccer/mutual friends and she’s been my best friend ever since. We lived together in Chicago and she just recently moved to Houston! We’ve traveled to 9 states, 4 countries and there are many more for in our future! She reminds me of a little sister which has its perks but I swear she’s always trying to wear my clothes. We both have a deep love for Mexican food and queso. There are two things I admire about Brittany. First her strength, she’s been through things most people don’t experience in their lifetime and 2) her ability to get along with everyone! She’s always helped me to get out there and meet people! I’m beyond thankful for her!
Simal Patel
Best Man
My best man, my brother, my best friend He has always been a role model for me. A person I can always ask for help and always get a loving response. He is my #1 and will now have to be my #1.5. I'm blessed that Simal and Deena have made me a Kaka (uncle) to their two beautiful children, Mila and Zayn. Thanks for all the advice, love and guidance over the years.
Rachael Combs
Bridesmaid - Sister of the Bride
I met this beautiful young lady when she was born on January 17, 1996. I can definitely tell you that I wasn't ready to share the spotlight being an only child for six years (short) years until she was born. It brings me with great pleasure to have her standing by my side as she's not only my sister but one of my best friends. Twenty four years of memories and the one that I'm the most fond of is dancing to love shack up north in Michigan where we grew up camping together every year with my grandma. I'm so happy to have you standing by my side as I know you'll be there during such an important day in my life. Your kindness does not go unnoticed. I love you!
Neil Patel
Groomsman
Neil P is my oldest friend and the man that probably knows me best. We have been through the thick and thin together from little boys through college. Through the good times and the bad times. He is a person who I can always talk with about any of my issues and the best part is his responses actually help. He is a role model to me in life, a brother to me in relation, and an amazing father to Meera and Shaan. Neil has always had his life moving in the right direction and that has always rubbed off me and for that I will always be in debt. Thanks Neil for always being by my side.
Marissa Vittands
Bridesmaid
You may know that Marissa is my aunt, but what you may not know is that she is more like my sister. People like to say "I'd take a bullet for you" but Marissa is someone who truly would take a bullet for me. It is really incredible how selfless she is. We’ve been through pretty much every FIRST in the book together. We learned how to ride our bikes together (usually meant her saving me from falling into a pine tree), we played t-ball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and every other extracurricular activity you can think of. We continued to stick by each others side through the ups and downs of life. When I think of my childhood and memories, it's difficult to find one that doesn't have Marissa in it. I couldn’t imagine celebrating this special moment without Marissa by my side!
Sham Patel
Groomsman
I have known Sham the majority of my life. Sham is like an older brother to me. He is always there to offer unbiased opinions. He helped me excel in sports and in friendships. He is and always will be the Tony Parker to my Tim Duncan (that Spurs analogy is for him not me - I would have chosen a Rockets player). You my boy shammy!
Lauren Boggs
Bridesmaid
One of my favorite stories is how I met Lauren. I was flying back from Vegas when I heard a slew of girls giggling and chatting. If you know me at all, you know that I'm not overly social with strangers so I went my own way without striking up conversation. Two weeks later, I was at a local bar in Houston where I heard the most familiar voice. I immediately recognized it was the same girls from the plane and had to introduce myself. It was history from there on out. She has one of the sweetest souls & I'm looking forward to dancing the night away with her. I can always count on her to be there for me & give advice. We had a very odd way of meeting but looking back at it now, I couldn't imagine life without her. She is one of my closest friends! Lauren, thank you for being by my side.
Thomas George
Groomsman
I first met Thomas in college. Thomas' family and friends took me in as if I grew up with them when I first came to Houston. Our friendship has blossomed into a relationship many would envy and I have grown to cherish. Thomas has always been there for me at some of my weakest moments, and he always did so without the slightest of hesitations. He is the crutch I would never substitute or replace. Love you Tommy.
Danielle Governale
Bridesmaid
It all started at Memorial Hermann TMC. Danielle and I instantly hit it off from the moment when I sat in on her interview. This girl is the real deal Martha Stewart aka pro interior designer so if you're looking for ideas, you will want to connect with her! Danielle's caring personality, cooking skills, motherly instincts, caring nature, love for holidays, good theme party, and new love for Colorado vacations are only a handful of the reasons why it was necessary to have Danielle by my side for the big day. This is only the beginning of our adventures to come!
Ketan Mesuria
Groomsman
Ketan is my second oldest friend. He is one of the most loving person I know. He has always taken care of not only me but everyone that is family to me. He has visited me at every single place I have ever moved to for school. He is always the first to ask how he can offer help and is always the first to make anyone feel welcome. I love you like a brother and there is nothing I wouldn't do for you!
Cassondra Castillo
Bridesmaid
It all started in one of my least favorite high school classes... pre-calculus (Cassondra sat behind me). I learned that she was friends with Brittany and eventually we started to hang out outside of school. We became even closer when I was living in Chicago. Cassondra and I have a mutual love for all animals and one time she called me and asked if I wanted to go to a private event to play with a Siberian tiger cub. It was then that I found out our passions would make us forever friends. One of my all-time favorite trips was when she invited me to volunteer in Costa Rica. Cassondra is intellectual, driven, and a great listener. We both share passion for holidays & decorating accordingly! I am so glad she will be there with me to celebrate & can't wait to celebrate her big day!
Jigar Patel
Groomsman
Jigar and I were part of the infamous foursome growing up. We would tend to terrorize our family members as we played as kids. We would always go to my Mama's (uncle) house or them to our house to hang out with each other. We have grown up together both mentally and physically. Jigar is my cousin but has always been a brother. He is genuine, loving and has always been there for me. I love you Jigar!
Lauren Redden
Bridesmaid
Lauren Redden and I met through Lauren Boggs. I didn't meet her at the exact time but did later find out she was also on that trip to Vegas! Lauren is one of the most kind people I know. She is always willing to listen to any problem/story and give unbiased advice. I find her to be wise beyond her years! Lauren is an elementary school teacher which shows as she is very patient and caring. I love that she is so passionate about teaching and mentoring young children. Lauren is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I look forward to her being by my side on my special day.
Vikas Bhakta
Groomsman
I met Vikas in college and we have been friends ever since! The respect between us is mutual. We both try to be men of our word. When we do something we get it done. Vikas and I have had some championship moments where we have succeeded despite the odds. He has always been on my side even when he was my pledge captain back in our Frat days. He offers sound advice, will tell you the truth whether you like it or not, Is one of the most dependable people I know and is my friend for life. Love you Vikas. RIP wheez!
Miten Patel
Man of Honor
Although I had an older brother, my cousin Miten was always taking care of me growing up. He would never let any of us in the infamous foursome ever get into trouble. He would always take the blame for everything if he had the chance to. He came to every graduation and every birthday party. He would move mountains before ever saying no to anyone for anything. He was able to connect to every generation of our family. No matter what he was always there for me. He would always tell me "Ronak your the light of our generation. You make me proud." He was a motivation in my life and it truly is a blessing to have known someone like him. I will Always miss you Miten, I know you will be looking down on us when the celebration begins. You are always in our heart!
