Wedding Party
Laura Linden
Bride
I’m beyond thrilled to be getting married this fall. For those that don’t know me, I’m loving and quick to laughter. Mythology has always been a passion of mine, especially Greco-Roman myths. I was always loved reading about true loves, and I have found it in my fiancé Mudit. He makes me feel more seen and loved than I have ever felt before. I love making jewelry, being creative, and making others happy. Family means everything to me, so I’m very excited to start this new branch of our family tree.
Mudit Aggarwal
Groom
Mudit was born in New Delhi, India. He came here about six years ago right before the pandemic hit to study mechanical engineering at UC Berkeley. His smile is infectious and always warms others around him. Laura describes him as beyond intelligent, incredibly generous, and truly kind hearted. Mudit is an excellent debater and is knowledgeable about so many topics. He is quite artistic himself and loves to make models and play video games.
John Linden
Father of the Bride
John is Laura’s wonderful father. He could be described as just as funny as he is smart. He taught Laura the value of education and how to treat other people with respect. John passed on his love of history and other cultures to his daughter. They love traveling and trying new foods together. His children love watching movies with him and listening to him make his silly jokes. John never has a bad thing to say about anyone. He has been married to Laura’s mother, Laurie, for 36 years. They have a sweet marriage and showed Laura how a man should treat his wife. He always made Laura feel safe and loved and offered an ear to whatever she was dealing with. Both John and Laurie are excited to welcome Mudit as their new son-in-law.
Laurie Linden
Mother of the Bride
Laurie is unbelievably kind hearted and lovely to everyone she meets. She has the uncanny talent of making friends wherever she goes. Laura’s number one favorite advice from her is to treat others how you would want to be treated. She’s a nature lover and has always wanted her children to appreciate its beauty. They love to go to concerts and do road trips together. Laura gets her artistic talent and creativity from her mother. She always taught her children to look at the other persons perspective. Laurie is an amazing cook, just like her mother, and taught her daughter everything she knows. Her husband is John, and they have a love of travel that they shared with their children.
Shelby Heredia
Matron of Honor
Shelby and Laura have been good friends since high school. She has been an invaluable support system for her. Shelby is always there for every high and low of Laura’s life. She is the sister that Laura always wanted (even if Laura’s a foot taller than her). Laura loves to go to Shelby for advice or to laugh about the craziness of their lives. Shelby lives with her fire-fighter husband Alex in Livermore with their pup Lucy and kitty Stormi.

Krysta lives with her family in Iowa with their dog Duke.

Mark is Laura’s older brother. They are incredibly close and have a wonderful relationship. Mark has always included Laura in everything in his life. They love watching fantasy movies and tv shows together and discussing history with their father. They like to tease their mother as much as they can get away with. Mark and Laura have many inside jokes and can crack each other up with their ridiculous stories. Their family travels have taken them across the world to enjoy a plethora of cultures and cuisines. Mark has always been a role model for her, and Laura is very proud of him. He works in real estate in Sunnyvale and is dating the gorgeous bridesmaid Allie.
Kameryn Accola

Kammy is a wonderfully creative girl. She is Laura’s cousin (Matt’s) daughter. Kam is an insanely gifted artist who would put Van Gough to shame.

Laura and Bree love watching Disney movies and going on adventures together. They have been on many trips together like Mexico and Santa Fe. Laura enjoys spoiling her with creative gifts and different activities when she visits her in Iowa. There was no doubt that Breanna would be a flower girl in Laura and Mudit’s wedding.
