Sapna & Siddharth
Wedding Party
Arjun Singh
Brother of the Bride
Some might say this is conjecture, but Arjun's favorite memory of Sapna is when they met in 1994 and he realized she was God's greatest gift. Though having an older brother comes with its share of bruises and hurt feelings, Sapna is thankful for having a forever friend in her brother. When he left for college in 2010, Sapna missed her brother so much she decided to follow him to Virginia Tech two years later. While they might not always see eye to eye, they do both agree that Sapna is the more well-rounded and accomplished Singh sibling. #SiblingRivalry
Naina Nagpal
Flower Girl
Naina is Sapna's first niece and favorite family member. Though she is not even in kindergarten yet, she is fluent in multiple languages and basically a child prodigy. Naina lives in Oakland, California with her mom, Pooja, and dad, Kunal. There is a high chance that Naina steals the show at the wedding with her cute smile and impeccable style. #MiniFashionista
Gabrielle Gonzalez
Matron of Honor
Gaby and Sapna met on Twitter before attending Virginia Tech together in 2012. They lived together for 3 years and bonded over a love of dogs, debating politics, and binge watching trash tv. Gaby's best quality has always been her ability to give sagely, old woman advice. Gaby is a strong judge of character and holds very high expectations for the people in her life, and as such has always steered Sapna clear of making any poor decisions. Gaby is a protective friend, wonderful wife, and amazing daughter to her family, and she has always been a role model for Sapna in every way. She loves fiercely and always shows up for the people in her life no matter what she is going through on her own. Sapna is incredibly honored to call Gaby a cherished friend and her Matron of Honor. #BFF4L
Danika Okpaleke
Maid of Honor
Danika and Sapna met in 2016 in D.C. when they joined Teach for America together. They taught together for three years at the same elementary school where Danika was a lifeline and support system for Sapna when things got tough. More importantly, Danika is Sapna's favorite travel buddy and closest friend. Danika is loyal and kind to everyone she meets and is a fierce advocate for those she loves. Danika has been Sapna and Sid's biggest supporter over the years and both Sapna and Sid are honored to have her support and blessings as they move into this new phase of life together! Between her sense of humor, positive outlook on life, and strong faith, she is an anchor for everyone around her -- Sapna couldn't imagine anyone else better suited to be her maid of honor! #TravelBae
Kathryn Weber
Bridesmaid
While the full story of how Kathryn & Sapna met is better left untold, one might say they have very common interests. Kathryn & Sapna met in college and deepened their friendship over a love of fitness and extreme tailgating on Houston street. One of Sapna's favorite memories of Kathryn is spending a Blacksburg summer together, sitting on rooftops, and playing pool at Hokie House. Though Kathryn may be soft spoken at times, she has the strongest moral character of anyone Sapna has ever met. Sapna admires Kat for her commitment to her faith and her family, and appreciates how Kathryn is always eager to learn more about the world. Kathryn embodies kindness and loyalty, and is a wonderful asset to Sid and Sapna's relationship. Sapna's life would be incomplete without Kathryn in it! #DogMoms
Ana Matusiewicz
Bridesmaid
Ana is arguably the most accomplished friend in the group. After graduating from college in 2016, Ana put her plan of world domination into place by moving to the Dominican Republic to work for the State department. Ana is a guiding light in Sapna's life and has a wonderful sense of humor and strong sense of justice. She has a charitable spirit and is always looking for new ways to improve the world around her. If you guessed that Sid and Sapna keep Ana around for entertainment purposes, you're absolutely right. Most importantly, one of Sapna's favorite things about Ana is how they bonded over a near-death experience they shared in college one fateful October night.... #RemembertheDeck
Parvez Aujla
Bridesman
Parvez and Sapna met at Virginia Tech in 2012 when Parvez was a RA in Sapna's dorm, O'Shag. Parvez always watched out for Sapna, Gaby, and their friends like an older brother and was always there for them with advice and support when things went wrong. Though Parvez graduated a year before Sapna and then moved to Seattle, they have kept in touch over the years and Sapna is honored to have Parvez help her marry her best friend! #Brosmaid
Priyadarshini Das
Bridesmaid
Priya and Sapna met at the 2016 Teach for America Institute in Philadelphia. Their friendship was strengthened over breakfast when Priya almost missed the bus to work each day and had Sapna grab her a muffin and fruit to go. After teaching together for a year in D.C., Priya and Sapna became roommates and spent their days and nights complaining about work, struggling to turn in grad school assignments on time, and binge watching Grey's Anatomy. Though Sid won't ever admit it, Priya is also his favorite person in the whole world. Priya has taught Sapna what it means to be a loyal and committed friend and would without a doubt be willing to cross the seven seas to help her loved ones if needed. #FavoriteRoomie
Jennifer Schroeder
Bridesmaid
Jennifer and Sapna quickly became friends outside a bathroom one day at work in 2016. Their friendship deepened over a love of traveling together (Dubai, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, etc.), playing soccer, and finding new ways to work around their dietary restrictions. Jennifer is a talented artist, a gifted teacher, and an even better friend. Even though Jenny's only dance move is the two-step, Sapna is so lucky to have her in her life after so many years! #FriendshipGoals
Shubhra Paradkar
Sister of the Groom
Siddharth and Shubhra are not just siblings but best friends. They laugh about the strangest things and are probably the only two people that can dedicate a weekend to rewatching all of the Jurassic Park movies back to back. No matter what happens they always lookout for each other and they know no matter where life takes them they will always find time to laugh like crazy about absolutely everything! #ParadkarSibs
Shivang Phogat
Groomsman & Brother of the Bride
Sid and Shivang met by accident in a speakeasy in NYC. Sid noticed Shivang when he was getting yelled at for being too loud by the bartender. This was the beginning of all their adventures together -- from stealing traffic cones, to hugging bouncers, to roasting each other for spending money on the most useless stuff from Amazon. Shivang is the reason why Sid and Sapna met and was the one of the biggest reasons they became a couple and are now getting married. Sid looks up to Shivang like an older brother, and deeply values the advice and help he gives him. #Mr.Dependable
Kush Patel
Groomsman
Siddharth and Kush met in college at Rutgers when one day, during the last five mins of a three hour lecture, a voice from the front said, "Professor I have a question!" This voice belonged to Kush, and he proceeded to ask a 20 minute long question, keeping the whole class in the lecture hall. From that one annoying question blossomed a friendship that both Sid and Kush value more than anything in this world. Sid considers Kush his twin, since they share a birthday, and has always loved him like a brother -- in fact, they have shared so many moments together that it's not possible to tell the story of one person without including the other. Kush is the voice of reason when Sid is flying off the handle, and he is always ready to support Sid in any adventure without asking questions. #Twins
Angad Singh
Groomsman
Angad and Sid met on first day of freshmen year in high school, though they mostly avoided each other. Angad was the loud kid and Sid was the small quiet one. In the end, it was basketball that brought them together: no matter what time or how hot it was, they were outside playing pick up with kids twice their size. From basketball in the local park, to partying in NYC, to attending family functions together, Sid considers Angad like a brother. Angad is someone whose friendship has helped Sid get through some pretty tough times, and no matter what happens Angad always has Sid's back. #AgSwag
Vimal Kumar
Groomsman
Vimal has a heart of gold; he is the true voice of reason in the friend group and is always looking out for everyone's good interests! Sid and Vimal met through Angad and instantly fed off each other's energy. Though their friendship started with going out together in NYC, their common interests brought them closer together. One of Sid's favorite memories of Vimal is scaling cliffs together in Vancouver, and he is so blessed to be able to continue to grow their friendship. To Sid, no adventure or outing would be complete without Vimal! #ThePhotographer
Kunal Sethi
Groomsman
Although Kunal and Sid met each other in high school, they lost touch for a long time. Coincidently, one day many years later, they ran into each other on an awful train ride from Princeton Junction to NYC. That fateful meeting would lead to them becoming roommates in Jersey City and having some of the greatest adventures together. Kunal is always down to have a good time with friends, and his love for life and bright energy bring so much happiness to Sid's life. Sid knows that he can always count on Kunal when he has a question or needs life advice and he is so grateful for Kunal's love and friendship! #Batman
Mit Shah
Groomsman
Mit is the younger brother Sid never had, and that is true in every sense of the word. Mit is someone who will travel across the world if Sid was ever to call. He is dependable, he is genuine, and he always supports his friends even when they are making a bad decision. Without Mit, Sid's life would be incomplete, and he wouldn't be where he is. If Sid could say one thing to Mit, it would be "thank you for being an amazing friend and brother in both good times and bad!" #PointGod
Shawyn Griffin
Groomsman
After moving from New Jersey to Virginia and leaving all of his friend's behind it was hard for Sid to adjust to a new lifestyle. When he met Shawyn, the two instantly became friends. Shawyn is someone Sid can always turn to for help, and his advice is something Sid considers invaluable. No matter where they end up Sid knows that Shawyn will always be there for him, and that their friendship will only grow over time. #Mr.Cool
