Mira & Somil
Our People.
Hina Malik
Maid of Honor
hina is the person that is there for me through it all. she has been my friend through my most transformative phases and has truly become a sister in my heart. when i was at my lowest, she dropped everything to focus on me and guided me to find happiness and light. i am grateful for her every day, every minute, and every second.
Aansh Jarmarwala
Best Man
Although we're technically cousins, this guy is my brother in every way. My go-to in life, pillar of support, bouncing board for crazy ideas, and role model. From our crazy Cincy/Purdue days to living the best years of our lives together at 728 W Jackson in Chicago (#phillysbest #dimsum #untitled), there's no one else who I want by my side on the greatest day of my life than him!
Farah Khan
Matron of Honor
i met my soulmate at the age of 5, her name is Farah Khan. fare is my oldest friend, but she is so much more. she is my rock, my sounding board, my sister, my mentor in many ways, and the person that has constant faith & trust in me. without farah, there is no mira.
Viraj Vora
Best Man
My best friend and college roommate for 4 incredible, transformative years. He's the king of sunrise heart-to-hearts, my pong partner for life, my gujju brother, and the guy I know I can trust any time, any day to help guide me. Can't wait to celebrate with him (#djraji #infinity #viyabali #gtp) pumping up the crowd right next to me!
Arti Parikh
Maid of Honor
arti is more than meets the eye. she is fearless, has a beautiful mind, and works so hard. she makes me feel so confident and special and has played every role - sister, cousin, mother, friend, and mentor. her love for me is truly unconditional and i am eternally grateful that mama & mami have brought this wonderful human into my life.
Mansi Shah
Best Woman
My sister, best friend, role model in life, and the person most responsible for who I am today. Hell yes she's my Best Woman! Our love of taco bell and pizza hut jalepeno pizza, spontaneously dancing, jeopardy trivia, and settlers of catan is unparallelled. I can't picture my big day without her right next to me!
Puja Chotalia
Bridesmaid
my sister. puj is the biggest influence in my life. she challenges me to be a better sister, love deeper, understand clearer, and let go of my ego. we have had a rollercoaster of a relationship, but we never give up on each other and that's what makes every moment spent with her worth it.
Bhavik Jadeja
Groomsman
My brother-in-law, pillar of support, and life mentor. A former Wall Street banker and intimidating badass at first sight, but in reality a teddy bear who loves sweatpants, good beer, pizza, and desserts as much as I do.
Nidhi Parikh
Bridesmaid
nidhi is literally my little bundle of joy. she lights up my world when i see & talk to her. i have learned humility from her with all her incredible accomplishments as she never speaks a word about herself. she is going to change the world one day and i will be right there cheering her on.
Rahul Venkateshwara
Groomsman
My college roommate and soul mate. I don't think I've ever been in more heated debates about more useless stuff than with him, usually while watching Gossip Girl or Sportscenter. He's a guy you can always count on to be there for his friends.
Anisha Patel
Bridesmaid
anish manish. this is one badass woman that loves her friends fiercely and follows her heart in whatever direction it takes her. she defends me to the end of the earth, loves me like no one else, and understands me better than myself. she always pushes me up (bc she a beast lol) and is my positivity lightbulb.
Saarth Shah
Groomsman
My cousin and defensive eating expert. Give us call of duty, madden, poker, monopoly, and 7-layer bean dip...we could literally go a week without realizing it.
Asha Mannancheril
Bridesmaid
ash bo bash - the definition of integrity right here. from middle school to college, ash was my running buddy, classmate, and friend. i always felt pressure to get the best grades any which way i could. asha taught me that working diligently with integrity is how success is met. i am grateful for her unwavering love & support anytime i need her.
Aarth Jarmarwala
Groomsman
My cousin and dubbo #1. He's a giant goofball and bollywood hero, but one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Our love of food and ability to devour giant quantities of delicacies can't be topped.
Prutha Parikh
Bridesmaid
pruts is my spiritual twin sister. we talk for hours on end about challenging ourselves mentally, physically, & spiritually to be better in every way. she has been such a huge influence in my wellness journey. she has taught me to be fearless and that the mind controls the body. thanks to her i completed my first triathlon, gained confidence as a trigger point therapist, and to always look at the positivity in every negative situation.
Jon Smith
Groomsman
My best friend since 1st grade. We've seen each other grow through 20 years of bad fashion, hairstyles, and awkwardness to...well, not much has improved in that department. No one else understands me as well as this guy!
Charishma Chotalia
Bridesmaid
carshie is my older sister. since childhood, she has been an inspiration and a role model. her devotion to helping people in underprivileged communities in India and putting her mission above herself is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. her friendship, love for me, and guidance has always been so special to me. my biggest lesson from her is pushing for my wildest dreams and making sure my voice is always heard.
Ryan Scioli
Groomsman
One of my best friends from high school who always helped coach me out of my comfort zone and give me the confidence to be me. Always there for his friends and the best bartender on the planet.
Sanjana Naidu
Bridesmaid
sanjie is my ambitious, stunning, and committed friend. i have learned to stay strong always and that i can get through any emotional battle from her. she is the person i can trust with my life and with all my secrets. her big love for me, my friends, my family, & somil is like no one else. i am beyond grateful for my roomie, bestie, and my bollywood sista.
Jeff Yueng
Groomsman
My brotha from anotha motha. We've basically replicated each other's life plan from Ivy league undergrad (although he went to a #fakeivy), transformative P&G career, Booth MBA, and then launching to new endeavors. A guy who will always find the best flight deals and someone you can always count on to put a smile on your face.
Mitali Dave
Bridesmaid
sometimes i wonder how this perfect woman appeared in my life. we are two peas from the same pod, but had no idea the first time we met. the biggest learning from mitalu is to never judge a book by its cover. she is the girl that literally changed my life with her wisdom on the world & relationships. every minute i spend with her, i discover something new about myself & reflect deeper than the time before. she is one of the best things that happened to me & i'm still in disbelief.
Brian Luong
Groomsman
Aka Brian Singh. A year of driving up n down from Cincy to Chicago made us into best friends. This basketball stud, shoe fiend, expert at broke & bougie life, and entrepreneurship genius (#pingpongproperties) is also one of the most kind-hearted individuals I know.
Aranee Sivananthan
Bridesmaid
arans, the girl that embarked on a journey with me that changed my life forever - illini awaaz. we bond over our love of music, leadership, hating life, and being committed friends to each other always. she brings out my happiest, most creative, and real self. she cheers me on with all my accomplishments & makes me feel so loved. i learned from her that the only thing that matters is being true to yourself & that life lesson will stick with me forever.
Chandra Pathuri
Groomsman
One of my best friends from college and my partner in ultimate frisbee, basketball, pong, deep conversations, you name it. Always there for his friends and one of the warmest hearts you'll ever meet.
Sejal Patel
Bridesmaid
sage is my lifestyle twin! we bond over food, design, style, and home decor. she is someone that i can count on at any time and she would drop everything to be there for me. i know no one like her. she loves her friends & family so deeply and always puts in effort in our friendship. she has taught me to never let anyone dictate my life & live my best life.
Rachit Desai
Groomsman
My baby cousin who's growing up before my eyes. Our life philosophy is identical and his wisdom beyond his years is what makes this kid so special.
Neil Mithipati
Bride's Bro
neil is someone that makes new experiences so fun & deep conversations so enlightening. he was a huge support during a pretty tough time in my life, but our friendship grew into this beautiful coaching partnership & brother-sister relationship. we help each other stay on track with any new endeavors, challenges, and push each other to reach our health, career, and personal goals. we also do the funnest & craziest things together like hiking 14 miles at yosemite, driving in pitch black at the edge of a mountain, and listening to music for hours and hours.
Roo Patel
Groomsman
My best friend for 7 years in Cincy at P&G. The depth and realness in our conversations is surprising considering how sarcastic and comical we both are, but that's what makes it so fun. He's always upbeat and putting a smile on people's faces.
Monjari Vipani
Bridesmaid
when i met monj in college, i quickly realized we were so similar! we had 'm' names, were born in the same month, and had almost all the same interests. since then, we have grown to follow our hearts & passions in our own way, but we still end up finding each other on the other side. she is dedicated to her career, innovative with her cooking, and travels the world to truly feel the culture around her.
Ria Bharadwaj
Groom's Gal
My first friend in college and senior year roommate. This 4 loko queen and spring break champion is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Also a badass dancer who will for sure be breaking it down on the dance floor in Spain!
Sajni Ganger
Bridesmaid
saj is my oldest friend. so many of my childhood moments include her in them. we sang, danced, glamed each other up, talked for hours, shared so many secrets & had the best sleepovers ever! she is a big part of who i am today. she will always be my favorite garba partner and a sister in my heart.
Tanush Sahay
Bride's Bro
tanush and i met in college at his auditions for illini awaaz. since then, he has become such a good friend, mentor, and brother in my life. we freak out over the same music, have the best conversations about life, and make an effort to never lose touch. hes a gem of a person and i am so lucky to have a friend like him.
