Mahesh & Shruti
Wedding Party
Soumya Sudhakar
Maid of Honor
Sister of the bride and best friends since '96. Moving around a lot as a kid didn't leave make it easy to have many friends. Thankfully, having a little sister meant always having a best friend.
Kailash Narayanan
Best Man
As with any brothers, our relationship was as much camaraderie as it was rivalry. But no matter the ups and downs, we both knew we always had each other’s backs. And I am proud to have him standing by me in one of the most important days of my life.
Neha Rao
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride and key witness to my awkward teenage years; a big sister I could always look up to!
Akhil Agarwal
Groomsman
Our friendship that started over 14 years ago over some BU hockey tickets has continued over multiple cities, states, and even continents. But no matter the distance or time, it never felt like our friendship had changed much from when he used to crash in my freshmen dorm in a sleeping-bag because his room was too far from campus!
Priya Rao
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride, but definitely embodies everything a little sister is: full of love, laughter, and knowledge of how to drive me crazy
Henry Wilder
Groomsman
Our friendship started over a group of us trying to do shots of hot sauce. While I met Henry through others at Boston University and we had not hung out too often in undergrad, Henry’s friendship (and flair for the dramatic) will always be something I cherish and I’m glad we became much closer friends after graduation. And of course, I cannot forget our various duets over the years!
Arjun Srinivas
Bridesman
Cousin of the bride; really my little brother and the rock star in my life!
Jay Japra
Groomsman
Jay and I quickly became friends my second year at Boston University as I moved into the same floor as him. Over the years, anytime I had to visit Boston, Jay always offered his place to stay (and I took him up on that most of the time). We've had multiple escapades from birthday celebrations to Forbes events in Boston and Jay has always been by my side to keep me out of trouble.
Rowan Wixted
Bridesmaid
Who knew that the girl who lived across the hall freshmen year was going to become one of my best friends for life? A true friend who has been there for ALL the ups and downs. She's the kind of friend you call at 3AM to hide the body.
Madhur Kaushik
Groomsman
We met through mutual friends at Penn during grad school but we became closer friends than any others I knew at Penn. Since, he has been my partner in crime for Basement Bhangra, food nights, squash and tennis. I had the honor of officiating his wedding ceremony last year and I’m glad to now have him by my side for mine.
Chelsea Young
Bridesmaid
Late night studying, hanging out in the library on Saturday nights, and spending afternoons drinking tea and gossiping about life really bonds you for life.
Aradhya Malhotra
Groomsman
Met many influential entrepreneurs through Forbes Under30 but he was one of the few people I got to know as a genuine person not doing what he does for money or fame but for what he loves doing. No matter what is happening in our lives, it’s never a dull moment when we get together. I just feel bad for his neighbors when we do our annual all-nighter Bollywood karaoke nights!
Anjali Bharadwaj
Bridesmaid
Long-time family friend. We met through our parents' singing group while in our teens and our friendship has grown since. We have celebrated so many holidays and occasion together, we became close as family!
Jeffrey Turben
Groomsman
If there defines a friendship through serendipity, then ours would be it. While we both lived in Philadelphia for many years and mostly in the same startup crowd, in the beginning, we only met at JPM Healthcare conference in San Francisco once a year, at the same Happy Hour event. Finally we decided to hangout in Philly, and we have bonded over startups, investments, law, politics, and philosophy.
Shrinithi & Shriya
Flower Girl
Shruti's sweet nieces - a perfect mix of sugar, spice, and everything nice plus a dash of sass.
