Tiara & Joseph (Kevin)
Wedding Party
Tasha Thomas
Maid of Honor
(Sister of the Bride) Tiara chechi has been blessed to have me in her life for 21 years. I am her youngest sister and her maid of honor. Seeing Tiara chechi fall in love with Kevin Achacha was such a beautiful and long journey that has just begun! I am so excited to be a part of celebrating the relationship between the man who taught me to eat the crunchy tail of shrimp and the woman who will belt out every song of the Rapunzel soundtrack in a heartbeat. I admire their patience with one another and their ability to bring out their very best qualities in the presence of each other. I already consider Kevin achacha to be my big brother, and I'm looking forward to May 27, when I officially gain another sibling. I look forward to seeing you all at the wedding, and I hope to see you dance your heart out at the reception with all of us!
George Francis
Best Man
(Brother of the Groom) I’ve known Kevin for 26 years now. I was 6 years old at the time when he was put onto my lap and made my life a lot more interesting. I’m obviously Kevin’s older brother, if you haven’t guessed by my last name and strangely similar looks. I’ll keep all the embarrassing stories for the speech, but I just wanted to say I’m happy for you and excited for your special day.

(Friend) I’ve been lucky enough to know T and kev for almost a decade and even luckier to have lived with T for the past 7 years. We have shared so many milestones together and I’m unbelievably grateful to stand by my best friends’ side as she marries the love of her life. I’m so excited for this next chapter and I can’t wait to third wheel y’all as husband and wife ☺️
Jeevan James
Groomsman
(Friend) I have known Joseph for many years, we grew up together at the same church. I met T when they started dating in college, but what a dynamic duo these two are! T is definitely the more outgoing of the two, and I've seen Joseph's uniquely wild side come out around her, hahaha 🤣 I feel very blessed to be a part of their big day, and I hope all of y'all will be praying for them 😊
Giciny Mathai
Bridesmaid
(Friend) My name is Giciny and I have known Tiara since elementary school! We have been through so much together over the past 16 years. Tiara has been my best friend, therapist, and my inner conscious- I can’t imagine life without her as she has seen every side of me. She is so funny, sweet, and such a loyal person that I literally couldn’t be happier that Tiara has found her other half in Kevin! They bring out so much happiness within each other over the years and they have stuck together throughout it all. They have worked so hard to get to where they are now and I can’t wait to celebrate them for the rest of our lives! Wishing you both all the best as you enter into a new chapter!
Joel John
Groomsman
(Cousin of the Groom) I am Kevin’s (Joseph’s) older cousin on his mom’s side. I of course have known Kevin his entire life, but I got to know him better when his family first moved to the US while he was still very young. I recall a very young, incredibly bright Kevin wanting to learn English and read everything he could get his hands on. He also wanted to practice his writing skills any chance that he could (even if that meant writing in all my favorite books…don’t worry I forgive him). It’s been such an immense pleasure watching him grow and become this fully realized, driven young man. When he first told me that he and Tiara were an item, I was elated because I already knew her! I had taught her in OVBS and got to see her intelligence and kind nature up close. More importantly I had seen her play in our church flag football tournaments, and truly dominate, and I knew that this meant that I would get to draft her every year for family football games on Thanksgiving. It is with true joy and love that I say that I am honored to be part of Kevin and Tiara’s special day!
Erin Abraham
Bridesmaid
(Cousin of the Bride) Hello, Erin here! I’ve known Tiara my entire life. Some of my earliest memories include the fun times we had together as kids. Tiara means so much to me. She has guided me and given direction in my life whenever I’ve felt lost. She is such a caring person and I know she’ll have my back always. We talked as kids about the qualities we’d want in a significant other, and she threw that all away for Kevin. LOL JK seriously Kevin is such a wonderful match for Tiara as well as to our crazy family. He keeps her balanced and she keeps him laughing. So so happy for the beautiful couple and cannot wait to celebrate them on May 27th! Kevin, remember happy wife happy life!

(Cousin of the Groom) I have known Joseph (aka Kevin) since my childhood. He is my cousin brother and good friend. I remember the times we hung out and had fun back in India and the US. I met Tiara after coming to the US. She is kind and a fun person. I believe that Kevin and Tiara are perfect for each other. I wish Kevin and Tiara everlasting love, joy, and happiness.
Divya Pillay
Bridesmaid
(Friend) Tiara and I met our senior year of high school before becoming roommates freshman yr of college. From the beginning, Tiara was always so open and easy to talk to, had the best advice, and made studying for chemistry more bearable. Tiara has such a bubbly personality that lights up a room the moment she walks in! I had the privilege of seeing Tiara and Joseph’s friendship and love grow from the very beginning, as Joseph was actually my high school friend and husbands college roomie! I’m blessed to be able to go through huge milestones with them including the both of them being in the bridal party at my own wedding! Tiara and I have talked throughout the years about the future and our weddings, etc and it’s crazy to think it’s all happening! I know that Tiara and Joseph are friends I can count on to be there if we ever need them for anything. Their love is so genuine and pure and they deserve the best in life! I’m so so excited to stand by Tiara on her big day. Tiara and Kevin, love you both so much! 🫶🏽
Finny Mathew
Groomsman
(Friend) Joseph (aka Kevin) and I have known each other since our elementary school days. We have shared countless memories over the years from playing basketball, going side by side through high school, being roommates in college, and now to his wedding day! I have had the pleasure of witnessing Tiara and Kevin’s love grow and mature over the years. As I have known Tiara to be one of my closest friends since college, she is a genuine friend that has a caring heart for people. It is truly a blessing to see them both so happy and in love with each other. I wish them both all the happiness and love in the world as they embark on this new chapter of their lives together. May your love continue to grow stronger with each passing day.

Bridesmaid
(Friend) My friendship with Tiara is one of the best things that came about from optometry school. Not only did we complete our lifelong goals of becoming optometrists together, but we built an unbreakable sisterhood-like bond in the process. While I saw T grow into the amazing woman she is today, Kev was right there pushing her to be the best version of herself. Watching their relationship come this far has been fun because no two people push, respect, and love each other like T and Kev do. I am honored to be able to stand beside them as they start their forever journey.
Stanley Mathew
Groomsman
(Friend) Stanley is Kevin's childhood friend, college roommate and basketball idol. Stanley and Kevin grew up together as the "Clifton Crew" with Finny (Stanley's older brother), Rony and Joash. Stanley remembers the times where they would have neighborhood water gun fights, daily basketball games and constant joking and fun. In college is where he, Finny and Kevin all shared a room. This is also the time when Stanley met Tiara for the first time. Tiara's bold and fun personality is a staple of who she is and what makes her an amazing friend! Stanley knows that Kevin and Tiara are perfect together and wish them all the blessing and happiness there is!
Angela Abraham
Bridesmaid
(Friend/Cousin of the Groom) I’m Kevin’s cousin and Tiara has been one of my besties since freshman year of college. I wish I could credit myself for bringing them together, but God takes full credit on that one. Even though I’ve been away from home for both medical school and now residency, these two have a way of making a girl feel loved from miles and miles away! Kevin and I grew closer since going to college together. And truthfully, he’s been like an older brother to me with his wise words, caring nature, and thoughtfulness. From late night study sessions in college, to catch up calls and annual meet ups while we were away for school, Tiara has always been like family to me, but now it’s going to be official! It has been nothing short of a blessing watching these two grow as individuals and as a couple. Kevin and Tiara, I love you both so very much, and I can’t wait for y’all’s big day!
Jobin John
Groomsman
(Cousin of the Groom) I have known Kevin his whole life as he is my younger cousin. Over the years being able to watch Kevin grow into the man he is today has been special. When he was younger his passions were basketball, art, and chess which showed how well rounded he is. When Kevin told me he was dating someone, I was ecstatic and even more happy when he told me she was Ortho! The only thing I had heard about Tiara was that she was a baller who was the next Tom Brady in our Ortho Flag football tournaments. When I finally had a chance to meet her, I knew this was the perfect person for Kevin as you could see the love they had for each other was truly special. I am so excited to celebrate this special day with the both of you!

(Cousin of the Bride) Hiiiyaaa my names Sana:) I’m Tiara Chechi’s cousin from Florida. I’ve known the bride to be basically my whole life and I proudly call her my older sister cause she’s been that role model for me growing up. I’m so excited and ready to get these two married off!
Shane Xavier
Groomsman
(Cousin of the Groom) Kevin is someone I consider an older brother. I never had any real cousins in Canada so Kevin and Sachin have always been role models to me even though we may not be in touch all the time, I know they see me the same way. I am so excited to see him take the next step in his life and I can't wait to get to know my future-cousin-in-law, Tiara. I know you're going to be like an older sister to me so I am so excited to get to know you. I already know how amazing you are because Kevin told me about you a long time ago, so finally seeing you guys start your journey is amazing. Thank you for letting me be a part of it!
