Meet the Wedding Party
Meet the wonderful people in our lives who helped us become who we are today. We are so thankful for them!
Angela Chandra - Maid of Honor
Being Neera's younger sister, Angela has known the bride her entire life! She is ecstatic to play an important role in the wedding and hopes she doesn't choke during her speech on her sister's big day. Despite their age difference, Angela and Neera have been through everything together and are incredibly close.
Amandip "Amy" Yoder - Matron of Honor
When they first met in the 8th grade they immediately started wreaking havoc as best friends. Not much has changed since then! Amy will always provide Neera with the best advice, the warmest memories, and the biggest laughs.
Avery Yoder - Flower Girl
Neera has been Avery's #1 Massi since the day she was born. From Skype sessions to lazy afternoons together, Neera has watched this cutie blossom and is so excited to have the perfect Flower Girl at the wedding.
Manjinder Bhatti – Bridesmaid
Neera and Manj have spent the last 16 years celebrating each others' successes and supporting one another through obstacles. Through parties, sleepovers, and relaxing evenings at home, they'll always be like family.
Rowena Guzman – Bridesmaid
Rowena and Neera were instant friends at first sight. They begun as colleagues at work and immediately became best friends. Neera and Rowena share a similar heart and soul and they have the ultimate "bromance".
Romi Kaur - Bridesmaid
After working at the same jobs throughout college and being nearly-next-door neighbors in San Francisco, Romi and Neera have made too many memories together to not stay friends! Their spontaneous trips to Ocean Beach on a school night are some of Neera's favorite memories.
Desiree Wimmer - Bridesmaid
When these two met, Neera found an excellent dance partner with a great sense of humor. Dez has helped guide Neera through life's challenging situations and will always be the best source of fun.
Patricia Coelho East
When Neera and Patchi met as colleagues four years ago they knew their friendship would transcend the workplace. They've spent many afternoons contemplating life and love, and they will continue toasting to each other's bright futures.
Kathryn Gunn - Bridesmaid
Kathryn is Rob's younger sister and friend. She and her son Jace are such important parts of the wedding party and Neera is excited to welcome Kathryn as her new sister!
Andrew Mao - Best Man
These cousins have known each other their entire lives. As kids they watched WWF and played Civilization and Starcraft, staying up as late as they possibly could....before getting busted by Grandma!
Jace Goncalves - Ring Bearer
Jace is Rob's nephew and Kathryn's son and a ball full of fun. He's a big fan of chasing Rob and Neera's dogs and playing with his toys. Rob especially loves Jace's tendency to put Grandma and Grandpa's shoes in the fireplace.
Vince Hamilton - Groomsmen
Rob can honestly say that Vince's birthday parties have always been the best, ever since the 3rd grade! As they've grown older, they've enjoyed very deep conversations about life over XXL pizzas and super sweet cocktails. Rob feels so grateful to have Vince as a friend and in the wedding party.
Ryan Chandra - Groomsmen
Ryan is Neera's younger brother and he is so excited for Rob to be his new brother-in-law, not only because Rob's spare room serves as a fantastic "Man Cave" whenever Ryan visits.
Rahul Chandra - Groomsmen
The youngest Chandra sibling has developed a reputation for being the nicest. Rahul brings all the fun and playfulness to every family get-together! He and Rob both love sports, and Rob loved teaching Rahul how to throw different baseball pitches.
Sundeep Ambati - Groomsmen
Rob and Sundeep met in the 4th grade and spent their elementary school days creating chaos on the playground. They are both connoisseurs of good sports and great beers, and they'll always have each other's backs.
Jared Dodd - Groomsmen
Rob met Jared in the 9th grade and they bonded over their identical Honda Civics. Rob is proud to have been the one to teach Jared how to play craps, and they always meet for drinks in Fresno at Slick's. On a recent night out in SF with Neera and Rob, Jared expressed his excitement on being their "bridesmen". :)
Harinder Chahal - Groomsmen
These two spent a lot of time together in Boy Scouts and at Summer Camps throughout elementary school. They met in the 4th grade and have been friends ever since! Rob fondly remembers their Boy Scout outings and exploring Virginia while Harinder was attending med school there.
Alvin Chen - Groomsmen
Rob met Alvin in freshman year of high school and together they are the masters of beer pong and general debauchery. Rob has loved all of their trips to Las Vegas, especially the ones that have involved their "Vegas Hats" ... it's a long story ;) As his photo here suggests, he (and Rob) both appreciate the finer things in life, like fancy beers and platters of cheesecake.
