Kevin & Reeny
Wedding Party
Justin Karakkat
Best Man
Justin, even though I'm an only child I've always looked at you as my younger brother. It's crazy how time flies from us having sleepover's at Rosy Auntie's house, to trying out different hobbies like tennis, longboarding, jogging and weightlifting only to get bored of it later and find something else to do. Our childhood together was a constant adventure and I will always cherish those memories. There was no question in my mind as to who I would want as a best man and I'm beyond blessed knowing you will be by my side on my wedding day.
Reeja Pereira
Matron of Honor
Reeja, where do I begin. Growing up with a best friend always by my side was the best feeling. I always had a partner. You have been there for every significant part of my life. Always cheering me on in whatever mess I got myself into. I am beyond blessed to have you. You have made every bump in life a little more bareable. I am so glad I got to stand by you during your day, now it’s time for you to stand by me. I couldn’t have asked for a better bff, sister and Matron of Honor. I love you so much and here’s to joining the married club! Let's get this party started, sis!!!
Albein Thomas
Groomsman
I feel as though I've never had a truer friendship than yours. My earliest memories of us would have to be from Our Lady of Sorrows church in Garfield. Somehow our personalities just clicked that we were meant to have a friendship that lasts. I've always had nothing but respect for you and how you've always reached out as a brother making sure I'm doing alright. You are a person I can confide in and your presence always challenged me spiritually to grow closer to God. I'm blessed to have you as my groomsmen, Albein!
Angitha Sanju
Matron of Honor
From you picking me up for our Charlestown shifts together to calling each other every day (I only know your cell phone number by heart to this day), you have been a great big sister in every single way. Thank you for always giving me advice and being a pillar in my life. I stood by you on your special day, now it’s your turn. I love you Angichiii! I got lucky with having you and Reeja as my Matron of Honors!
Jacob Sebastian
Groomsman
Jacob, it's crazy to think that we've only known each other a couple years when it feels like I've known you my whole life. When I think about my relationship with Reeny, I honestly couldn't imagine having anybody else for a brother-in-law like you. You were always my biggest supporter and giving me advice on how to grow my relationship with Reeny. I'm happy to have you as my groomsmen but more excited to become family and look forward to all the memories we will have together!
Anu Aluvathingal
Bridesmaid
Anu! Wow time flies. I was just on a flight to stand by you on your wedding day and now look! It’s my turn. You have been a big sister that I always wanted. Thank you for always telling me how it is and not holding back. I will always remember our Marymount days and how I found so much comfort in you. I am going to need all that comfort come 8/21/21 but I am so happy you get to stand by me as I marry Kevin! Love you!
Roni Pereira
Groomsman
Roni, when I first met you I remember you took me to Nick's Fish House for lunch. I remember feeling man this guy is taller than me and I was pretty intimated not gonna lie. However, I realized the more I got to know you, the more I learned about your down to earth and humble personality. You are a family man always working behind the scenes making sure everyone is taken care of without ever needing recognition. I'm happy that you welcomed me into your family as Reeny's big brother and I can't be more happy knowing you'll be my groomsmen at my wedding.
Ashly Kuruthukulam
Bridesmaid
AMMU! My mini me. I remember feeding you as a tot and you taking 082121 hours to eat. You’ve blossomed into this fierce woman and I am beyond blessed I have you so near and dear to my heart. You have been such a joy in my life during the tough times. I love you. I can’t wait for you to stand with me on my special day! Let’s make Tik Toks! P.S. she’s single, y’all.
Konrad Wojtas
Groomsman
Who would've known that going to an all-girls college I would meet a bro like you. I'll never forget how we met in the breakroom at Cedar Crest and literally after a month you asked me to me your groomsmen for your wedding. I'm not sure what it was, but I knew that something clicked and from then, we helped each other through grad school and had some pretty awesome memories together. From finding the best sushi spots in town, studying 24 hours for exams and having conversations about life all I can say is I'm honored to have you as a friend and a groomsmen at my wedding.
Anna Augustine
Bridesmaid
Anna Banana! Where do I start! I remember the day I came to see you at the hospital, taking walks with you and making you make videos being silly. Now you’re the Queen of Tik Tok! I can’t believe how fast you’re growing but you are making me oh so proud. I am so honored to have the Queen herself standing by me as I marry my best friend. I love you! P.S. let's make some Tik Toks on 8/21/21
Angel Cortez
Groomsman
Angel, what can I say about you man other than you're a bum. Just kidding. I would say that the two greatest gifts I've received from Saint Peter's is my degree and a friendship like ours. You being my roommate sophomore year was the best dorming experience. We've been through so many ups and downs, literally traveled all over Jersey City, New York and Hoboken exploring and eating all the food we could find. I feel like those moments were some major highlights in my life. I always felt like you've had my back and only wanted the best for me. I'm so happy that we are brothers for life and that you'll be my groomsmen at my wedding. Just make sure not to wear a nice shirt at the reception.
Chinsu Shajan
Bridesmaid
Chinnnnnay! My girl! MAC brought our crazy selves together. I remember our 3 hour phone calls and how similar we are. You have shown what a real friend is and for that I appreciate you. Thank you for always knowing what to say and being practical with me. I am so excited to have you stand by me as I say I do to my best friend. I love you!! Let’s goooo! P.S. she's single y'all!
Chris Karakat
Groomsman
Chris, I still remember as kids when Justin and I would sleepover, in your room you always had such cool karate gear. When we woke up you showed us wrestling moves and always told us funny jokes. You would take us to blockbuster to rent out games for us to play on your Xbox and never ceased to make sure we were always having fun. As I grew older, you continued to be in my life always wanting to hang out or just call to see if I'm doing well. I'm proud to know I have someone like you who has been a part of all the significant moments of my life and who you see as a younger brother. I am honored to have you as an older brother and my groomsmen for my wedding day!
Veena Cherian
Bridesmaid
MY TWIN! Veenz, my love for you has grown over the years and I thank our trip to Haiti. So blessed that God brought us together. You have been the best sister in Christ and I can’t believe how similar we really are and how our lives are basically the same. Engagement on the same day and now wedding just two weeks apart! I love you so much and I am beyond excited to have you stand with me as I say “I do”.
Joe Augustine
Groomsman
Joe, I remember first meeting you at Justin and Michelle's house in Bergenfield. I believe you and your brother just came from Chicago and my mom was telling me that you were our cousins. I'll admit it was a bit awkward at first trying to get to know you, but as time passed you became a huge role model in my life. I remember all the sleepovers we had with Justin playing video games and ordering Papa Johns. You were always a brother to me that I highly respected and whom I've felt gave me the right advice whenever I needed it. I'm looking forward to my wedding and knowing that you'll be my groomsmen!
Kristina Markman
Bridesmaid
Kristina! I remember that day Roni introduced you as a “friend” and you’ve fit in just like a puzzle piece. It’s crazy how fast time is flying but you are everything I wanted in an almost sister in law. Thank you for always being there to help and make us smile! I love you and I can’t wait to celebrate with you on my wedding day!
Felix Alex
Groomsman
Felix, for as long as I could remember you were always one of the funniest and charismatic guys I've known. Every Sunday at church, I always looked forward to our conversations about life and where we are headed. I believe it's because of our friendship that I learned how to be more confident with myself and enjoy life to the fullest. The day you asked me to be your groomsmen for your wedding, I felt truly honored and now I'm blessed to know you'll be there to support me at my wedding!
Joyce Thomas
Bridesmaid
Joycieee! My sista from another mista! Where do I begin. You have proved to me what it means to be a best friend. MAC brought us together, but faith kept us close. Thank you for being a pillar in my life. I love you so much!I can’t wait to have you stand by me as I say “I do” LESSS GO! P.S. She's single y'all
Ronen Bridges
Ring Bearer
Roney Bear, if I had to say who has a special place in my heart it would be God, my parents, Reeny and you. Although it was only for 2 years, every moment spent being with you as your 'Uncle Kevin' I wouldn't trade for the world. I feel like I see myself so much in you as a kid and I hope that all the memories we made always makes you remember you have an uncle who loves you and wants nothing but the best for you in this world! I can't wait for you to celebrate with me on my wedding day!
Teena Vithayathil
Bridesmaid
Teeeeny Beany! My God sistaaaa! I can’t believe this time has come. It feels like just yesterday that I was trying to carry you and getting yelled at by everyone. You have grown into such a beautiful soul and I am grateful for the bond we have. I am so honored that you get to stand with me on my special day! I love you! Let's get this party started!
Clark Bridges
Ring Bearer
Clarky, I honestly wonder what I did to deserve a nephew like you. You may not remember the memories of us together, but I will always remember how you loved to break your brother Ronen's train sets and throw all the toys all over the place in the house. You were always a gentle child when you were asleep, but when you are awake I realized why your parents' gave you the nickname 'The Destroyer'. You are growing up to be such a charming kid and I'm so happy you'll be with your brothers as ring bearers at our wedding!
Sharon Pereira
Bridesmaid
OOOHHH Sharon! What a journey it has been. I’m sure you didn’t like me growing up lol. But you’ve proved to me what family really is. You’ve blossomed into this beautiful flower. I love seeing you as a mom to Sunia. You’ve been with me on my toughest days and I can’t wait for you to dance on cars and celebrate with me on my happiest day. I love you sis and let’s get this party started!
Micah Bridges
Ring Bearer
Dearest Micah, you may not remember my face but my fondest memory is holding you as a newborn at Rosy Auntie's house. You had such a gentle face sleeping until you spit up on, me but it was still so cute to see. I can't wait for you and your brothers to be my ring bearers at my wedding!
Eliza Kuriakose
Flower Girl
Dosa, you have made me smile and brought so much joy and screams into my life. I can’t wait to see you run down that aisle! I love you my Dosa kutty!
Francis Karakkat
Father of the Groom
Dad, you are the greatest father a kid could've asked for. I know growing up I gave you and mom so much trouble as a child (breaking four TVs, biting a kids arm in pre-school) the list could go on and on. You always did your best to put me on the right path by challenging me to be a better person each day. To have a strong work ethic and let that speak volumes, to uphold your responsibilities and have a strong mind without letting others dictate what you are capable of in this world. Most importantly, to always pray to God every single day. You've shown me what authentic love really is by how you cared for mom and me all these years. It's through your example and teaching that led me to Reeny and I can't wait for you to watch me say "I do" on my wedding day.
Evelyn Parayil
Flower Girl
Even though you were a pandemic baby, you have warmed my heart in ways I can’t explain. Thanks for being the cutest snuggle buddy and the kisses you generously give. I can’t wait to see you waddle down the aisle throwing flowers! I love you, cutie!
Joyamma Karakkat
Mother of the Groom
Mom, my fondest memories of us together are when I was sick. I remember you would stop at nothing to make sure I was feeling better. You would make so much food and bring all types of medicines and constantly take my temperature by putting your hand on my head. I believe the reason why I have a loving and understanding nature comes from your personality. You taught me how to listen to others needs before my own, to provide whatever I can to ease a person's pain or suffering. You've always had an openness and innocence towards others with your actions which is why I strive to be so genuine. I know you've imagined who I will marry and I'm sure you know now that Reeny has that genuine loving soul I've been looking for my whole life. I can't wait for you to finally call Reeny your daughter!
Amelia Parayil
Best friend escort
My Mia baby, I can’t believe I saw you take your first breaths in this world now you run around bossing people around. You have brought the biggest smiles and joy into my heart. I can’t begin to explain what your little self means to me. I love you Mia babyyy!! So excited for my escort!!
Sunia Bancroft
Flower Girl
Sunia! You melted my heart the first time I saw you. You have brought so much joy into my life and I can’t wait to have you be my flower girl. Just leave the whisk at home. I love you!!
Moly Pereira
Mother of the Bride
Oh mama, I don’t know what to say. You have been my cheerleader from day 1. I just pray that I get to be half the wife and mother you were. With your direction, I know I will be set. You are my role model and I am always grateful for you. I thank God everyday that I am your daughter. Thank you for molding me into the person I am today. I love you and I can't wait for you to have another son! Let’s walk down that aisle together!
Peter Pereira
Father of the Bride
Daddy, I can’t believe you won’t be here to walk me down the aisle like we always talked about, but I know you’re watching over me. You get the best seat in the house! I love and miss you so much.
