📍 Charlotte, NC Favorite Memory: It’s really hard to pick just one because I honestly love every moment we’ve shared. So many of our memories have been spontaneous, but if I had to choose, I think the cruise would be at the top. It was such an unforgettable adventure, from all the beautiful destinations we visited, to the fun we had along the way. It was a perfect reminder of how amazing it is to have such an amazing big sister by my side. That trip was something truly special, and I’ll carry the memories from that journey with me forever.
Darshan Patel
Best Man
📍 Syracuse, NY Favorite Memory: As kids, we had a talent for causing chaos—like when we dumped pancake syrup on the carpet while our parents were gone or took ‘the floor is lava’ a little too seriously. No matter how much trouble we got into (or how many injuries I racked up), we always had the best time together. The mischief didn’t stop in college either. Our friends would step in to make sure we didn’t turn every play fight into a full-blown wrestling match, but it was always worth it for the laughs. One of my favorite memories with him was when we had one final run before med school, living together at Barcroft in NOVA. It felt like a throwback to our childhood, but with more gym sessions, late-night hangouts, and doing dumb stuff with friends. After years of only seeing each other during holidays, that time together was priceless.
Dina Patel

📍 Charlotte, NC Favorite Memory: All of them! Grateful to grow together and for all of the adventures in between. You are my favorite travel buddy, partner in crime and built in bestie! Super thankful for my new BFF BIL. Can’t wait to see you guys step into this new chapter of life!
Jessica Mistry

Jina Kumar
Bridesmaid
📍 Asheville, NC Favorite Memory: It feels like only yesterday when we met at J's wedding! From the moment we met, you've welcomed me into the family with open arms. We've since shared plenty of late-night bowling nights, to reality tv marathons (with many more to come), and way too many expresso martinis's that we can't handle.
Gopi Patel
Bridesmaid
📍 Long Island, NY Favorite memory: When I moved you and all your old things into your new home! We quickly organized your 1000+ articles of clothing into 3 closets.
Diana Trinh
Bridesmaid
📍 Nashville, TN Favorite memory: That’s hard to pick. I think I’d have to say just growing up together. From meeting in KD, to being roommates, to traveling all over the US. You and I have quite literally gone through so much together and you as a person is irreplaceable to me. We could not speak for a few months and we pick up right where we left off. You’re one of my best friends and like a sister to me!
Rachel Jarrell
Bridesmaid
📍 Rockingham, NC Favorite memory: I met Alisha during CRNA school. Neither of us can remember exactly how we began being friends, but we immediately hit it off from the moment we started💕!! There were many days and nights where this girl pushed and encouraged me more than she will ever realize. God definitely placed her in my life at the right time and place. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would not have made it through anesthesia school without her. She is one of my best friends, the most amazing bonus sister I could have dreamed of, and the best girls-girl you’ll ever meet. I love her to pieces!
Kishan Patel
Groomsman
📍 Washington, D.C. Favorite Memory: One of my favorite memories was living with Kirtan for two years at 8 1/2 Apartments during our undergrad years at VCU. From countless late-night adventures to waking up for our 8 AM classes, we made so many unforgettable memories together. Those years were filled with laughter, spontaneity, endless Christian’s Pizza and Bodillaz runs, and moments we’ll always treasure. #412

Mayank Patel
Groomsman
📍 Fairfax, VA Favorite Memory: There’s so many, but I would definitely say the good times we had back at the old GRC and 8 1/2. Honestly the best times because we were both young and reckless. Just the days we would make something out of most nothing when we didn’t have anything to do. Will cherish those days forever.
Harshit Shah
Groomsman
📍 Savannah, GA Favorite Memory: Our failed attempts to catch flights together without any issues/drama.
Shree Nadkarni
Groomsman
📍 Boston, MA Favorite Memory: Of all the memories I’ve shared with Kirtan, the one that stands out most is the very beginning of our friendship. It’s crazy to think how our paths even crossed! I went to Georgia Tech, made friends there who had ties to Virginia Tech, and eventually met Darshan. Through a series of texts leading to plans to attend the ATS show in Atlanta, Kirtan and I truly connected for the first time, and that moment laid the foundation for the incredible bond we share today. Whether we’re navigating the chaos of Fortnite, kicking it back in DC, or trading fashion tips over text, we’re always catching up and sharing life’s highs and lows. Our camaraderie started in ATL, but it’s grown into a friendship I’ll cherish forever.
Rogelio Loya
Groomsman
📍 Philadelphia, PA Favorite Memory: Fall of 2017 should have been considered the hardest time of my life because i didn’t have a job, I blew out my knee, i was still in RVA and I didn’t know what was next but in my mind, I look at it so fondly because of all the good times I had with Kirtan. Whether it was leaving the bar early to go eat homemade butter chicken at his brother’s or trying to think of last minute Halloween costumes, that time of my life was so unforgettable. We hung out almost every day; having a reliable and loyal friend like him is why I can’t help but think that was one of the best periods of my life. He always pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and out of the house and that means more than he’ll probably ever know.
