Rebecca Thomas

Bride


Ryan Korpal

Groom

Kinza Ahmed

Maid of Honor

From high school best friends to college roomies (GO BLUE!) to now, Kinza has been Reeba's rock for the past 14 years. Kinza has been Reeba’s confidant during stressful and chaotic times, her right hand woman, and the best friend she could ever ask for. There was no doubt in Reeba’s mind when choosing the woman to stand by her side (and catch her if she faints) during the most important moment of her life. Way to her heart: chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate


Sean Korpal

Best Man

Shared a pair of parents and sister for the last +20 years. He is every sense of the words "Best Man."

Moira Thomas

Matron of Honor

Reeba's sister in law turned best friend. Although Reeba and Moira have known each other since elementary school, their friendship was solidified when Moira married Reeba's brother, Greg. Their marriage gave Reeba a few key things. 1) Someone who taught her the beauty that is red wine 2) a built in friend for all family events 3) someone who enjoys annoying and teasing Greg as much as Reeba Way to her heart: An oaky/smokey Cabernet Sauvignon ( >4.0 stars on Vivino)


Greg Thomas

Groomsman

Brother of the Bride. Interests include cars, Formula 1, cooking, photography, hip-hop, and travel. Greg has become like an older, second, brother to Ryan.

Lauren Korpal

Bridesmaid

When it comes to describing Lauren, it's tough to say which is bigger, her muscles or her heart. Whether that be Michigan football games, or bonding over how silly boys (particularly Ryan) can be, Reeba and Lauren have found sisterhood. Lauren's energy will bring anyone to the dance floor, friend or stranger, young or old. It is never a dull time with LoKo. Way to her heart: Protein and making Tiktoks.


Steve Helzer

Groomsman

First met at the the Taylor Swift "Fearless" Tour at Ford Field in 2010, have been great friends ever since. Once flew across multiple states, under a day's notice, to help Ryan move cross country. Currently playing hockey together on Sunday nights for the "Rhinos"

Molly Haas

Bridesmaid

One of the "Med School Hunnies" Reeba and Molly met while moving into their apartment building (in Lynchburg, VA) during orientation week of medical school. Almost instantly, they hit it off...especially once they found the margaritas at the restaurant next door to their lofts. Molly and Reeba studied for EVERY single exam together during their pre-clinical years, taking over a different coffee shop every Sunday. Way to her heart: the beach & bubbly (and gluten free snacks)


Frank Bartolomeo

Groomsman

One of Ryan's oldest friends, they have been great friends since middle school. Have played on multiple hockey teams together, and currently play on Sunday nights for the "Rhinos"

Shivani Vasudeva

Bridesmaid

Another one of the “med school hunnies,” Shivani was the yin to Reeba’s yang during med school. Shiv was Reeba’s go to (and still is) when she needed someone to tell her the honest, unfiltered truth, but also the shoulder to cry on and hug she needed on rough days. Way to her heart: succulents, espresso martinis, and a good chocolate croissant


Kyle Lee

Groomsman

The man, the myth, the legend. Originally met in 2009. He coined the nickname "Kommander" for Ryan. Has been a dear friend of Ryan's ever since, and is currently in Kommand of Boston.

Neelma Rao

Bridesmaid

Neelma and met 14 years ago in the Northville High school lunch line, and have been great friends ever since. From their days studying in high school drinking biggby coffee, blue mtn dew & monster, to going to rival universities (Go Blue!!!!), to Neelma doing Reeba’s makeup for the engagement shoot, their friendship has been unbreakable through the years. Way to her heart: Mountain Dew code blue & Hershey’s cookies n cream…! Jk, most definitely a shopping spree at Sephora or a warm, tropical island vacay


Ammar Alam

Groomsman

Met during Medical School, a member of the "Liberty Boys" Most likely to be in GQ after graduation.

Sapna Khemka

Bridesmaid

Sapna, also one of the “Med School Hunnies,” met Reeba at orientation for medical school, and instantly they became close friends- watching bollywood movies and drinking wine together on their nights off. They eventually went on to choose the same (BEST) specialty to practice- pediatrics, which only tied them together more. Sapna was also one of the early friends that gave Ryan the “seal of approval!" Way to her heart: Bollywood - especially if you also love Zindegi Na Milege Dobara & if big plus points if you kinda resemble Sharukh Khan or Hrithik Roshan


Nicolas De La Tour

Groomsman

Met during Medical School, a member of the "Liberty Boys" Most likely to own a Tesla after graduation.

Deepika Yuvaraj

Bridesmaid

Their initial encounter Deepika questioned Reeba's sanity, but it was freshman year college at Michigan so how sane could one be? Deeps finally learned how to love Reeba when they decided to pledge an Indian sorority together (yikes!) Nevertheless, their friendship only grew stronger after this ungodly phase of life, and they’ve both been there for one another, regardless of where life may take them. Way to her heart: quality back massages, adventures, and brunching


Bryan Luu

Groomsman

Met during Medical School, a member of the "Liberty Boys" The missing Jabbawockee member.

Elizabeth Cheeramvelil

Bridesmaid

Liz (Chilu) was Reeba’s first best friend. Their friendship goes way back to the times when they had fake names, imaginary boyfriends, and matching dangling earrings. Chilu has been Reeba’s ride or die since day one. As they have grown, they have had several periods of life where they have been far in distance, but have always found their ways back into each other’s lives. Way to her heart: tarot card readings, (hard) kombucha, incense, and thoran (malu people, you know what I mean...)


Victor Demetrio

Groomsman

Met during Medical School, a member of the "Liberty Boys" Used to work at Disney World.
