Wedding Party
Richa & Tulika Sahai
Maid of Honor
My big sisters and best friends in the entire world. Wayne and I grew up with these two showing us the ropes and inspiring us to be our best selves! We can't wait to celebrate our big day with them by our side!
Curtis Murray
Best Man
My wedding day would be incomplete without my big bro as my best man. We are one heck of a dynamic duo, just wait till you see us hit the dance floor and you'll know what I mean.
Paarul Sinha
Bridesmaid
To the world, she's my cousin - but to me, she's my entire left brain! Paar and I grew up inseparable and have led that legacy into adulthood; basically she's my soul sister! Despite never living in the same city, we keep in super close contact and she truly is one of my best friends!
Ishmael Mickens
Groomsman
Ishmael and I have spent the last 10+ years trading Pokémon and battling each other in every video game imaginable. He is a pro at almost all of them and usually if I do manage to win, it’s because he let me win. He's been a big fan of Shevani ever since he met her.
Tanvi Sharan
Bridesmaid
She may be the youngest bridesmaid but she's certainly not the shyest! Tanvi is one of few people that I can still boss around since I'm usually the youngest cousin around.. so Tanvi if you're reading this - fetch me glass of water, will ya?
Benjamin Murray
Groomsman
Ben and I can talk about video games for hours. One of my fondest memories is of us running around the house on Saturday mornings as the SonicX theme song played in the background. He’s got such a big heart and I am proud to call him my cousin.
Jennifer Prechtl
Bridesmaid
Who knew that the shortest and tallest 3-year-olds in the neighborhood would become lifelong best friends?! 20+ years later and Jen is still my rock - our friendship will never fade.. and unfortunately neither will our height difference!
Aaqil Mohammad
Groomsman
From high school buddies to college roommates, if there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout our 10+ years of friendship, it’s that Aaqil is by far the funniest person I know and he never fails to put a smile on my face.
Mariam Azim
Bridesmaid
From navigating virtually every college class, to conquering the mountain that is medical school together, Mariam and I have truly been through it all! So thrilled to add a wedding to the list of side-by-side adventures life has taken us on!
Ehson Ali
Groomsman
Ehson is always the life of the party in our friend group. Shevani and I are lucky to have been close with him since high school. He's our go-to-guy for a good time, and he's definitely the friend you would call at 2am to bail you out of jail, cause you would do the same for him. (Luckily, neither has happened, yet...)
Spencer Grace Hiday
Bridesmaid
Everyone always asks us how the nerdy med student and spunky art geek somehow became besties in college, and to be honest... it just happened!! Spencer brings such a unique light to my life - and I love her for it! We're always finding ways to make the most of every day & truly are living proof that opposites attract!
Evan Smith
Groomsman
Evan and I initially bonded over the shared honor of being the "tall boyfriend" to our fun-sized partners. After many years of going to every Richmond festival imaginable, going on awesome camping trips, and doing group Halloween costumes 5 years in a row - we are basically family now.
Pooja Eagala
Bridesmaid
Pooja is another college bestie & someone who I can pick up the phone and call, no matter the time or day! My favorite memories are visiting her in the ED when we both were lucky enough to work at the same hospital for a short time! Her down to earth spirit and fun-loving personality are the perfect combo for a guaranteed good time!
Manik Dayal
Groomsman
Since college, Manik has been our go-to person for all the latest music; we may even have to ask our DJ to refer to him during the wedding! He's also one of the funniest guys I know, and his crazy comments are always keeping Shevani and I laughing.
Aisyle Deriquito
Bridesmaid
Aisyle is truly a one of a kind person in my life - her calm and thoughtful nature always keep me grounded. Not to mention, she's always showing me new things like vegan chicken wings (HOW!?) and fancy art galleries!
Haseeb Shaker
Groomsman
One of our closest high school friends, Haseeb is always down for a good time. I know I can count on him for two things: to always have my back in a fight and to always bring his A-game to the dance floor.
Deetu Barakam
Bridesmaid
Deetu feels like another older sister to me, she's always guiding me through the craziness of life and offering me the best advice! From recipe trading, to retail therapy, to event planning, to pouring over Pinterest pages together - Deetu is my go-to-gal for anything and everything!
Neal Gupta
Groomsman
Quite possibly the only person who can rival me in Catan. I can always count on Neal to have Catan in his trunk and to be ready to play at any time. He’s also the one person who can listen to me talk about Marvel movies for hours and even teach me a thing or two from the comics.
Suki Silwal
Bridesmaid
If you thought I was a crazy ball of energy - wait until you meet Suki!! She truly is the life of every party! Her antics always keep me laughing, and she is the best person to go to for an instant smile. She's also an AMAZING dancer - so prepare to be blown away by her killer moves!
Darshan Patel
Groomsman
Darshan is a man of many talents - from studying hard, to his budding barber career (hit him up for a fresh cut). He brings a lot to the table, and he's definitely a dude worth keeping around.
Sabbu Bajimaya
Bridesmaid
Sabbu has this loving, nurturing personality that she pours into all her relationships - ours included! She truly is my #1 supporter, always cheering me on through tough exams or bad days; but also reminding me to stay grateful on the good days too. She works so hard for her dreams and inspires me every day to do the same!
Sajan Pradhan
Groomsman
Thanks to Shevani's friendship with his girlfriend Sabbu, Sajan and I have gotten to become close this year. From hiking, to skiing/snowboarding, to bowling - he's always down for new adventures. Can't wait for the many more good times to come.
Patricia Loureiro
Bridesmaid
Patricia has the rare privilege of knowing both Wayne & I BEFORE we were "Wayne & Shevani". Both of us have been friends with her since early on in high school, so she's gotten to watch our love grow from the very beginning. She's my favorite person to eat dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets with!!
Andrew Riddle
Groomsman
I promise you've never met anyone like Andrew, he's truly one of a kind. He has been a good friend of ours since college; from board game all-nighters, to salsa dancing every chance he gets, to moving all the way to Belize, there's nothing too crazy for Andrew, including a big Indian wedding.
McKayla Burnett
Bridesmaid
McKayla has been part of our Richmond girls trio for years! Together with Spencer, McKayla and I have made so many wonderful memories throughout the years both in Richmond, NOVA, and all over! She brings so much spunk, fun, and so many new ideas to the table. We can’t wait to celebrate our big day with her by our side!
Ryan Asper
Groomsman
One of our closest high school friends, Ryan is one of the nicest guys I know. We may have had some beef back when we were running against each other for VP of our high school class, but I think that is behind us now.
