Ujval & Jasmine
Wedding Party
Priyanka Mookim
Maid of Honor
Jasmine and Priyanka's parents met at UMBC orientation and decided we were going to be best friends but we were very against our parents finding our friend's for college but faith would have it that we were randomly assigned to dorm rooms right next to each other. This eventually led to a friendship that could not be broken. Priyanka slowly became the ride or die type of friend, through all the up's and down in life. She is not only Jasmine BFF but is also the sister she never had.
Nishant Sharma
Best Man
Ujval and Nishant are buddies from junior year of high school, bonded so well to win be named " Tennis Stars" of the school in their senior year. They continued their undergrad together, and their parents became our extended family. Nishant was the first person to be introduced to Jasmine by Ujval. Nishant and Ujval have been able to link up again in Michigan as Ujval has been spending a lot of time there.
Allie Panichella
Bridesmaid
Allie and Jasmine met in college when she was rushing her sorority. Allie helped her through the rush process. Allie and Jasmine started to a weekly wine meet up to gossip. We were both biology majors so had many classes together and spent many late nights studying. Allie always made sure all these study nights were never boring and some how made all these nights a blast.
Hiren Patel
Groomsman
Ujval and Hiren were the best pals during their undergrad years and would hangout together almost every single day. Hiren was the most organized and would spearhead to plan all the fun trips with friends.
Emily Beveridge
Bridesmaid
Jasmine and Emily first met at jasmine's dorm room which Emily still doesn't remember meeting her. But we kept running into each other at different events and parties. We were even UMBC welcome week Woolie together. She eventually got me to rush ASK which made our bond even stronger. Emily was always up for any adventure and would make the best of any situation. My favorite memory is being stuck at school during a snow storm and she found a way to make sled out of items in her apartment for us to go sledding.
Marmik Patel
Groomsman
Ujval and Marmik were great friends picking up the same classes every semester of the undergrad!! They were picked out of college to start their career at General Motors and they had a blast working together.
Samantha Coffman
Bridesmaid
Jasmine and Sam meet while rushing her sorority. Sam was initially very quiet but after a few meetings, Sam started to open up. Sam, Nidhi and Jasmine became very close. Sam started to go out with us and she was hiding a great sense of humor. Sam always knows how to cheer someone up and is an awesome friend to have in your corner.
Ajay Kumar
Groomsman
Ujval and Ajay have known each other for almost a decade now. They both bond easily as they both are car enthusiasts!! Ujval was introduced to Ajay through one of his very good friends Vidya.
Nidhi Mittal
Bridesmaid
Nidhi and Jasmine met while rushing ASK. Nidhi and Jasmine hit it off as soon as they met. They have many similar likes and were always wanting to try something new. Nidhi and Jasmine have been on many adventures of traveling or trying new food or activities. They have tried America's tallest roller coaster in Ohio. Experienced Mardi Gras in Louisiana... to multiple concerts in Nevada. Jasmine can't wait for all the future trips Nidhi has in mind.
Karna Jariwala
Groomsman
Ujval and Karna gel together because of their sense of humor. They play boardgames endlessly and enjoy thoroughly. Thanks to Ruchi, Karna's wife for being patient with us for our fun filled late nights!!
Clara Sze
Bridesmaid
Clara and Jasmine met in the breezeway at UMBC. Clara was her typical outgoing self (we wouldn't embarrass Clara here but feel free to ask her about the story) and Jasmine couldn't help but engage in a conversation with her. Jasmine got Clara to rush her sorority. Jasmine and Clara got paired up as big/little which strengthend our bond. Still to this day, Jasmin's parents call her little because that is what she will always be known as in our house hold. Clara always has a huge smile on her face and a bear hug waiting for anyone in need.
Eliseus Fernandes
Groomsman
Ujval and Eli go way back. From the times of Need to Speed Underground 2 to be exact. Both of them used to game all the time. From growing up next door to each other and going to the same school - both of them got close to each other.
Alexa Durante
Bridesmaid
Alexa and Jasmine were randomly assigned to be roommates in medical school. While many people brought only one suit case to move to another country we both had multiple suitcases which we couldn't even fit in our small room so you know this was a great friendship waiting to happen. We some how managed to fit all the items in our little "jail cell" as we called it and spend everyday together on the island from there. We spend long nights in the library with our parents calling us begging us to go out and have some fun but we made our own fun by dancing on tables and singing out loudly once no one else was left at the study halls.
Francis Fernandes
Groomsman
Ujval and Francis have spent hours playing PlayStation and Xbox. They know each other for more than 10 years and even though they don't live close by anymore, they make it a point to having gaming sessions once a month.
Rachel Reeves
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Jasmine met in residency. The first time they hung out, Jasmine reached out to Rachel to go on a Nom scavenger hunt in a city two hours away. Rachel did not hesitate to go and ever since then they have been inseparable. Some how people would confuse Jasmine and Rachel though out the hospital even though Rachel is blonde with blue eyes and Jasmine is brown haired with brown eyes. Also remember the part about a friend calling during Ujval and Jasmine's first date, YUP THAT WAS RACHEL!!!
Oz Dasgupta
Groomsman
Ujval and Oz met each other thanks to their common friend Aanal Patel. Oz is a foodie just like Ujval and their friendship has thrived as they explore new places to eat around Atlanta. They grew closer discussions about life and new technology.
Esha Khosla
Bridesmaid
Esha is like a twin sister to Jasmine. They are only a few months apart and when they were younger, they always wanted to have the same outfits, hairstyle, etc. Twinkle, Esha and Jasmine were always up to planning some party or finding something to do during our summer break. One day I even went to school with Twinkle trying to pretend to be Esha to see what school was like in India, that did not go over very well. OOPS!
Ayesha Khosla
Bridesmaid
Ayesha has always been like a older sister to Jasmine. When Jasmine was growing up she spend many summer breaks in India with her two cousin. As soon as she would arrive in India the first thing she wanted was to go see Twinkle and Esha. Ayesha would always say she was the queen and Esha and Jasmine were her servant. Jasmine has spent many years as Twinkle loyal servant, LOL!
