She gives wholeheartedly and supports unconditionally. Melissa & Shelbin are so grateful to have her in their lives—not just on their wedding day, but always!

Rachel Abraham
Bridesmaid
Rachel is truly one of the sweetest people Melissa knows—and definitely Shelbin’s favorite (but let’s keep that between us!). To both of them, she feels like a little sister. Her warmth, kindness, and infectious smile put everyone at ease. Over the years, she’s become someone Melissa deeply treasures. She couldn’t imagine this special day without Rachel by her side, making even more memories together!
Divya Jose
Bridesmaid
Divya has been Team MelixVeli since DAY ONE. There was never a question that she’d be part of this special day!

Melissa deeply cherishes their friendship, and both she and Shelbin are so grateful to have Divya by their side on their wedding day!
Sara Thannickal
Bridesmaid
Melissa can count on Sara for just about anything—except staying awake, because let’s be honest, they both nap like it’s their job. Whether they’re laughing about everything or yapping about absolutely nothing, time with Sara is always the best kind of therapy. Her friendship is easy, genuine, and full of joy, and Melissa couldn’t be more excited to have her by her side on such a special day.
Shelvin George
Best Man
From day one, Shelvin—known to most as Koch—has been more than just Shelbin's twin brother. He’s been his built-in best friend, his partner-in-crime, and the one person he's always been able to count on. Growing up, they did everything together, and that hasn’t changed. Whether it's making sure things go exactly as planned or just being there when it matters most, Koch shows up every time. Having Shelvin stand beside Shelbin on the biggest day of his life was a no-brainer. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Alex Philip
Groomsman
Alex isn’t just the groom’s brother-in-law—that title doesn’t do him justice. He’s a true brother, the ultimate competitor who brings heart, intensity, and loyalty to everything he does. He’s also our incredible photographer, capturing memories with the same passion he brings to everything else. Having him by our side means everything.
Jonathan Flores
Groomsman
Jonathan has always been the quiet force behind our best memories. As the bride’s brother, his sharp wit, steady presence, and loyal heart have meant the world. For Shelbin & Melissa, having him in their wedding party is not an obligation, it's an honor. He shows up when it matters—and Melissa & Shelbin are so blessed to have him, today and always.
Binil Varghese
Groomsman
Binil has been like an older brother to Shelbin from day one. Funny enough, Melissa & Shelbin fought over whose side he’d represent because he’s so special to both of them—his unwavering love, loyalty, and care have always had the couple's backs, making him family and a friend we will always cherish.
Jeff Joseph
Groomsman
Jeff has been a pillar in our friend group for years—a true rock they can always count on. As Shelbin’s close brother and Melissa’s longtime friend, he brings a unique blend of loyalty, warmth, and reliability to every moment. His natural, fatherly instincts kick in right when people need it the most, offering support and guidance with quiet strength. Shelbin & Melissa are incredibly grateful to have Jeff standing by our side on this special day.
Saju Mathew
Groomsman
Saju has been a close brother to Shelbin since day one, a bond forged from birth and unbreakable ever since. From the moment Saju met Melissa, he embraced her like family, fitting right in with his easy charm and warm spirit. Saju makes sure everyone is having a great time — his energy and kindness light up every room. Shelbin & Melissa are lucky to have him standing with us on their special day.
Ryan David
Groomsman
Ryan has been one of Shelbin’s longtime friends—the group’s resident IT wizard and unofficial therapist. Whether he’s fixing a tech glitch or listening to their nonsense, he somehow stays calm through it all. Shelbin honestly doesn't know what he’d do without him— Ryan keeps everyone sane and connected, no matter the adventure.
Suraj Patel
Groomsman
Suraj is the quick-witted college friend who can entertain a crowd better than any stand-up comic—just with more style and fewer cheesy jokes. Who would’ve thought that borrowing Shelbin’s calculator one day would add up to such a great friendship? Suraj is a true competitor who never backs down, the perfect mix of charm and loyalty. Shelbin is lucky to have him as a groomsman—and is hoping he saves some fire for the dance floor!
Jithin Easo
Groomsman
Jithin is more than just a friend — he's been family since day one. From childhood memories to unforgettable adventures (and a few questionable decisions we probably won’t talk about here), he’s been there through it all. Our bond has only grown stronger over the years, and I’m grateful for every moment we’ve shared. Shelbin didn't think twice about having Jithin part of his the big day!
Daniel Abraham
Groomsman
Daniel is the friend who shows up with the best outfit and an even better story. His style is effortless, his energy contagious and he's a worthy competitor. Shelbin and Daniel solidified their friendship through video games and sports while Melissa and Daniel solidified theirs in church, praising the Lord. Melissa & Shelbin are so excited to have him be a part of our wedding party, and you'll most certainly see him on the dance floor.
Jeff Philip
Groomsman
Jeff isn’t just a friend—he’s family. From the very beginning, he stood out with his fierce loyalty and natural ability to bring people together. Whether it’s showing up when it matters most or making sure no one feels left out, Jeff has always been the kind of person you can count on. Melissa & Shelbin are honored to have him by their side as someone who’s helped shape great memories, including being there on their big day!
Shawn Thomas
Groomsman
Shawn has been a longtime friend of Shelbin’s, and though new to meeting Melissa, he made getting to know each other feel effortless. With his easygoing nature and sharp wit, he’s the kind of guy who instantly fits in and brings good vibes wherever he goes. Shelbin & Melissa are so glad to have him standing with them on their special day.
Shawn Mammen
Groomsman
Meet Shawn — Shelbin's brilliant cousin who has a knack for showing up no matter what. He somehow knows a little about everything, making every conversation feel like a deep dive and a laugh, all in one. With warmth, wit, and effortless charm, Shelbin is lucky to have him stand by his side — and he feels even luckier to call him family.
Sean Thannickal
Groomsman
Sean, the youngest of our groomsmen, holds a hard drive of memories that would make even Hewlett-Packard jealous — his stories and spirit have brought endless laughter and love. Meli Chechi & Shelbin are so grateful to have him by their side on this special day.
