Crystal & Vijay
Wedding Party
Rebecca Sweet
Maid of Honor
The year was 2014: I had just graduated and moved to Atlanta (basically on a whim,) and I was looking for my first "real job." I showed up to an interview and was greeted by this seemingly normal lady... and then I saw her lunchbox. It was bright green and said "Yummy Yummy in my Tummy," and that's when I knew. This was the job and this was my new best friend. Our friendship quickly grew into true sisterhood, through countless life chats, super weird business trips, that one time at Cirque du Soleil, celebrations of each other's accomplishments and milestones, and through carrying each other through sorrowful times. I've since moved away from Atlanta, and I know in my heart that fate brought us both there so that our paths would cross. And, so they say, the rest is history! #FullCircle
Midhun Kuruvilla
Best Man
So I met Vj about roughly 15 years ago in middle school. I saw him playing basketball with his friends and since I didnt have a ball, i asked if I could join. We all can guess who won that game. After middle school we lost touch until he transferred to my high school. From that day on we were inseparable. The memories we made over the years could be published in a book. From the late night partying to the long walks home, I’ve always wanted an older brother in my life and I got exactly in him. We all know Vj has a heart of gold and would go the extra mile to make sure you are happy. So when he asked me to be his best man with those puppy dog eyes , how could I say no? Vijay and Crystal, I am so honored to be part of this special occasion. #wolfpack

First to speak up and speak out, Crystal has been my sounding board for all things serious, stupid and everything in between. She doesn't hold back from the truth, no matter how harsh, and is always there to listen. She is my sister, my leo twin, my ride-and-die and occasional voice of reason (oftentimes, we're too alike to be of sound mind). From teen years to the questionable 20-something stage to the part where we finally get a handle on this thing called adulthood, I'm over the moon to be able to celebrate this next chapter in her life. Also, my baby is her baby (which is why she’s her Godmother) so Crys is pretty much stuck with me for life.

Vijay is more than my cousin. He’s the big brother that’s become a mentor. He’s taught me how to grow into the man I am today. It’s hard on this journey to adulthood and having Vijay to guide me through his example is what’s shaped my morals and mentality. He taught me life is not just fantasy but hard work and determination. Interning at our Nana’s construction company gave us our work ethic and helped me learn the value of determination. I know we’ll always have this unbreakable bond that’ll last infinitely because that’s what brothers are.

Crystal and I met 2 decades ago at Preston High School. I remember sliding her an invite to my 14th birthday party like it was a hot new club opening up. Instead of looking at me like I was crazy, she decided to come and we’ve been best friends ever since. From random trips to the Caribbean, to getting into strangers cars or singing on stage at the Grand Ole Opry, Crystal has always been by my side and I’m happy to always be by hers. I’m glad she is marrying a wonderful man like Vijay because he always makes her smile and treats her like the queen she is. Crystal was my maid of honor and I am honored to be a part of her special day!

I met Vijay about ten years ago, through his true love Midhun. Soon after that Vijay and I became friends which was inevitable since we always hung out at his house. Over the last decade, he became one of my brothers and not just my close friend. Words fail to describe his kind hearted nature and dependability. He is the one person everyone in our group looks to in a moment of need. He is a real ride or die. I know I could always count on him to hide a body. On a more serious note, I am beyond estatic to be a part of this joyous occasion for Vijay and Crystal. I just want to wish them a marriage filled with joy and happiness. #wolfpack

I've known Crys since high school and the biggest disagreement we’ve ever had was at 16 years old. Over salt and dirty water. Yup. She is the person I go to when ever I need clarity or advice on relationships, careers and just about everything else.

I was introduced to Vijay in middle school thanks to Midhun. We spent the entire summer playing basketball over at M.S.172, hanging out at Vijay’s house and eating jumbo raw peanuts. A snack I loved so much that Vijay offered me the rest of his knowing I loved it so much. We’ve always remained tight no matter how much time, distance or just life intervened. Vijay’s house was our party house and that’s were the OG Wolfpack came to life. Vijay has always been there for me and the rest of our friends. I am so proud of him and grateful to be part of pack. Wishing you and Crystal all the best forever and always! #wolfpack

Unlike the other ladies, my relationship with Crystal began not too long ago. We were introduced by Vijay since he and my boyfriend are best friends. It may sound cliché, but I knew instantly, that Crystal would fit right in with us (she left a great first impression). As I’ve gotten to know Crystal better, it is uncanny how similar we are. She has been an amazing friend and partner to one of my best friends, she's a gem! When Vijay first told me about the proposal, all hands were on deck to make it a success. It was my pleasure to help and be a part of such a precious moment of theirs. It’s an absolute honor to be part of this beautiful couples journey and I can’t wait to see it all unfold!

Vijay and I met about 10 years ago thanks to Midhun. We became friends soon after that but if you ask me when that friendship turned into a brotherhood, I wouldn’t be able to pinpoint it. The reason for that is Vijay is one of those people who will always be there for you no matter who you are. He’s reliable, caring and selfless. Honestly, this man has a heart full of gold willing to help anyone. His house was where our pack formed. I can’t tell you the adventures and memories that were made over the years. Thank you for being there. I am honored to stand by your side today while you start your amazing new journey in life. Vijay and Crystal, I wish you nothing but a marriage full of love, happiness, and excitement. I can not wait to see what life has in store for both of you! #wolfpack
