Jaynisha & Eric
Wedding Party
Breejal Patel
Matron of Honor
Breejal and I have known each other since we were kids (think elementary / middle school dance groups)! Breejal is the ultimate girl’s girl, my number one hype woman and the ALWAYS down for anything friend. Over the years Breejal has grown to be one of my closest friends. We both share a passion for working out and exploring the newest restaurants together!
Chandni Patel
Bridesmaid
Chandni, also known as Sandy, is my little sister. She always tells it like it is and serves as the perfect voice of reason for me. From now 'til November, you'll find us both trying to figure out how to divide up our makeup, hair tools, and everything else that we share. She’s my ultimate ride or die, built-in bestie. You might catch us boot scootin' and yeehawin' at a country concert near you!
Ektaa Shah
Bridesmaid
Ektaa and I met back in 2012 in Gainesville, FL. Our lives seemed to parallel in so many ways that it always felt like we were long-lost sisters (now we really will be sisters! :D haha). So much has changed since those early college years, but our friendship has remained constant and for that I am forever grateful.
Alisha Shah
Bridesmaid
Alisha and I go waaayy back to undergrad. One random text from our mutual cousin to help facilitate a meet up turned into a lifelong friendship. Our favorite hangout has always been getting boba tea (ask us which place is the best—we've probably tried them all). I can’t imagine getting married without Alisha by my side!
Roopal Desai
Bridesmaid
Roopal and I have known each other for many years! However, we didn’t really start getting to know each other until a few years ago through Chandni. Roopal is quite literally the nicest person you will ever meet. We both have a love for all things skincare! Roopal is always up for a good time, even if it means watching me fail miserably at pottery! Haha!
Devin Patel
Best Man
My brother from another mother—practically family, just without the awkward holiday dinners. We’ve been inseparable for years, bonding over our shared passion for sports, losing to me in strategic board games, and the occasional “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” trips that might have included going all-in on minimal sleep. Whether I’m seeking his advice on shortcuts in life or how to make a losing fantasy football team, Devin has always been my go-to guy. In short, we’re basically the same person, minus the haircut.
Michael Shah
Groomsman
The friend I’ve known the longest, but that’s because he’s my brother too. Our personalities might be as different as ketchup and ice cream, but we’ve always gotten along really well. Mike’s always had my back, whether it was guiding me through life’s decisions or teaching me how to make gourmet food (frozen pizza). From our college years as roommates to our travels around the globe, our bond has only strengthened. I’m grateful to know I can rely on him for absolutely anything, even if it takes a few calls (or ten) to get him on the line.
Dipam Shah
Groomsman
Where do I start? One of my oldest friends—not in the “he’s ancient” sense, but a partner in crime in college adventures and basketball antics for what feels like forever. Nothing beats our mutual love for globetrotting and delicious delicacies. With Dipam, there’s never a dull moment—not because he never stops talking, but because we always find ourselves in epic debates or hilarious arguments.
Nissarg Mehta
Groomsman
Like him, I’ll try to keep this short. Some might say he’s my bearded twin, but we know who’s the better-looking one. He’s like the little brother I never wanted—mostly because he’ll call you up for a chat and then fall asleep halfway through. He’s a rare friend you can talk to for hours with no agenda. We share a common interest in staying active and the food scene, but my favorite thing about him is that he’s always down for anything.
Javad Hakimi
Groomsman
The second funniest guy I know—not because of his looks, but because we share a unique sense of humor that should come with a warning label. Maybe it’s his signature snort-laugh that really gets the crowd rolling. Nothing tops our countless late-night chats that begin with the most random topics or fun facts and end in uncontrollable laughter. Everyone knows, when we get together, it’s a guaranteed unforgettable time with stories to share. If you don’t already know, I’m the first funniest guy.
