Wedding Party

Bertin Mathai

Groom

Ashley Mathew

Bride

Basil Mathai

Best Man

My older brother (literally), coach, third parent, and best friend. I am basically a clone of this man. I am indebted to my brother for so much in my life - music taste, humor, and massive quadriceps. I am honored to have him at my side as my best man .

Chrissy Mathew

Matron of Honor

My big sister (literally), who has been with me since the very beginning. Despite getting into many fights during our childhood, she is my biggest cheerleader and is very protective of me. My sister has an infectious laugh (it runs in the family) and always crack us up with her jokes/commentary. There's no one else I'd rather have by my side on my big day.

Moe Thet San

Groomsman

My best friend since elementary school. One of the strongest people I know both inside and out. (I'm not kidding, he's a powerlifter.) We've been through a lot together in the almost two decades we've known each other. And I'm ecstatic that he'll be with me as I take this next step.

Bhumi Patel

Bridesmaid

One of my closest friends throughout college and medical school. She is extremely intelligent, confident, and honest. Bhumi is someone who's always been there to guide me and help me along the way.

Donny Baby

Groomsman

Donny "Chettan", as I call him, is my older cousin and a second older brother to me. He made sure I didn't fall off a cliff at Acadia National Park so I'm happy to have him support me on my big day!

Kaylyn Bell

Bridesmaid

My best friend throughout college. Who would have thought that the girl I met on the steps of the student union during freshman orientation would become one of my closest friends. I consider Kaylyn to be a pillar of strength and someone's whose opinions and insight, I value immensely.

Jason Paulose

Groomsman

Jason is one of my cousins I grew up with. When we were younger, he and his family moved from the Tri-State area to Georgia but we have remained close. I am happy to have him return to light up the dance floor as part of my wedding party!

Nicole Kwan

Bridesmaid

Nicole has been one of my best friends since college. She claims that I didn't like her when we first met. We started off as lab partners arguing whether to describe the sample as "magenta" or "fuchsia." Today Nicole is one of my closest friends known for her artistic talent and selflessness.

Basil Kuriakose

Groomsman

Basil - director, producer, cousin, and good friend. We have countless memories from growing up together. I'm thankful he's a part of my wedding day and I'm sure he'll make it - CINEMATIC!

Saamia Alam

Bridesmaid

One of my closest friends throughout residency, who helped me survive long hours in the hospital and get through tough times. Saamia may be small but she is one of the toughest and smartest (and intimidating) people I have ever met.

Amiel Quadri

Groomsman

Amiel and I lived together for four years of college at good ol' Stony Brook. During this time, he's seen plenty of my few accomplishments and mostly the heights of my silliness. He's one of the smartest people I have ever met and I am grateful to call him one of my best friends.

Shruti Parikh

Bridesmaid

Shruti is one of my best friends from residency. My "mini-me" despite towering over me. We bonded during our COVID ICU deployments over our love for shopping and can often be heard chatting and cackling. She is always a phone call or text away.
