Bride
Rebekah is a world traveler with a vast knowledge of different cultures, foods, languages, wines, and random interesting facts. She's a fan of Broadway shows and delicious foods. She loves dinosaurs and alpacas (which Raj also loves), but also loves cats and canned tuna (Raj still loves her despite this).
Groom
Raj is a master of puns, tennis, and excel spreadsheets. He knows the words to every rap song and claims to know how to play the violin, but we're dubious. He loves delicious food, penguins, and Pixar movies (if you haven't seen Coco, he'll make you watch it right now).
Matron of Honor
Rachel is Rebekah's sister. She loves the outdoors, HGTV shows, and is a phenomenal spa day buddy. She is also a great dancer, capoeirista, and can eat dessert slower than anyone on the planet.
Best Man
Samir and Raj met when they were 3 or 4 years old. They went to the same piano teacher, and when two brown families meet in Texas, the rule is you instantly become friends. Samir and Raj have been as close as brothers since then. Samir is the most accomplished person we know and will likely be President of the United States one day. Raj has dibs on being his Treasury Secretary.
Bridesmaid
Liz and Rebekah met in 6th grade homeroom. Liz is a brilliant writer, podcaster (check out 'Popping Collars'), and lover of the American West. She is a world class travel buddy, selfie taker, and friend to the end.
Groomsman
Ben and Raj met in college, probably while lamenting about girls not being interested in either of them. They were in the same fraternity, and lived together for 5 years after college. Ben is a talented musician and DJ, and Raj has dibs on managing his future DJ'ing career.
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Rebekah met in 6th grade science class and went to middle school, high school, and summer camp together (so she basically knows all of Riv's stories). Han is an intrepid world traveler, stationary afficionado, and has two of the greatest-named cats on earth (Sister Mary Clarence & Pancake).
Groomswoman
Suzanne and Raj met while working at Deutsche Bank right after college. You'd think that working past midnight every day for several years would allow them to get to know everything about one another, but it took Suzanne 7 years after they became friends to find out that Raj was Nepalese and not Indian. It took even longer for her to learn his middle name. But despite this, Raj and Suzanne have maintained a great friendship. Suzanne is also a scratch golfer, and Raj has dibs on being her caddy for her future LPGA career.
Groomswoman
Anuva is Raj's older sister. Some say she and Raj have similar personalities (that's a compliment by the way). As kids, Anuva would make up dance routines for her, Tisha, and Raj, which they all look back on and fondly remember. Anuva is very active among Texas Democrats, and is the wonderful mother of 2 flower girls and a ring bearer for the wedding. Raj had dibs on being the proudest uncle in the world, and Anuva has fulfilled that destiny (take note everyone else).
Groomswoman
Tisha is Raj's younger sister. She and Raj are very close in age and geography (she's also in NYC), and spent a lot of time together growing up. To this day they reminisce about playing Double Dare in their driveway and still quote Saturday morning cartoons from ages ago. Like Raj, Tisha loves penguins, and Raj has dibs on being godfather to all future penguins she may adopt.
