RACHEL REGEHR - MAID OF HONOR
Meet Rachel, my wonderful older sister and lifelong friend. She has been a guiding light in my life. Her wisdom, love, and unconditional support have meant the world to me, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day. From childhood memories to adult adventures, she’s always been there with a smile, a laugh, and a heart full of love. I couldn’t ask for a better sister to stand with me as I begin this new chapter of my life!
Rachel is not only a longtime, trusted friend but also the loving wife of the totally awesome Nic Regehr and a new mother to the cutest ever Baby Regehr, Lindsay’s adorable nephew.
BRIELLE MAGARRELL
Brielle is my longest and truest friend. Our bond began even before we were born, as our mothers were close friends, which meant we grew up side by side, sharing memories and milestones. We seamlessly moved between each other’s homes, becoming as much a part of each other’s families as our own. Through the years, our connection has only deepened, growing into an inseparable friendship that has stood the test of time. From childhood adventures to today, Brielle has been a constant source of love and support, always offering a kind word or gentle encouragement. She is one of the sweetest, most caring, and supportive people I know, and I am beyond grateful to have her by my side.
Brielle is married to the wonderful Connor Magarrell, and together, they have become a cherished part of both my and Gagan's life.
RACHEL MELSNESS
Rachel and I met in high school at volleyball tryouts, and from that moment, our friendship was born. She’s always been someone who speaks the truth, no matter what, and her honesty has been one of the things I’ve admired most about her. Through the years, Rachel has proven to be a loyal, dependable friend, someone I can always count on. I’m so grateful to have her beside me on this special day, and I couldn’t imagine it without her.
Rachel is married to the amazing Eli Melsness, who I first became friends with in school, and who Gagan has since become close with as well.

UDAY SINGH - BEST MAN
Growing up with my brother Uday has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. We have shared countless memories playing sports, spending hours glued to cricket matches and debating all things of the world with our scientific and analytical minds. We've shared a deep interest in music and in fact, we didn't just enjoy music together - we created it. Those late nights experimenting with tunes, brainstorming lyrics and jamming out were some of the most creative and meaningful times of my life.
Uday's been my teammate, my co-creator and my greatest supporter. We've stood by each other through the toughest times, and I know I wouldn't be the person I am today without his unwavering presence in my life.
SUDHIR MINHAS
Sudhir and I go way back. And when I say "way back," I mean all the way to second grade. We’ve grown up together, side by side, from grade school antics to college adventures. —from our days as dodgeball champions (we were the city’s best, no big deal!) to navigating college and life. Even our dads were friends back in the ‘80s, so you could say our bond was meant to be.
Sudhir has always been more than just a friend. He’s shaped who I am, challenging me, supporting me, and keeping me grounded when I needed it most. I’ve always admired his discipline, his values, and the way he leads with integrity.
The best thing about Sudhir is that no matter how much time passes, we pick up right where we left off—like nothing has changed. That’s the kind of person he is: loyal, dependable, and always there when it matters.
DAANVIR MAVI
I’ve known Daanvir a.ka. Mavi, as we all call him—for 15 years. We met through my brother Uday, who became friends with Mavi during the days of their computer science degree, and from there, he became a big part of both our lives.
Mavi has always been someone you can count on. He’s confident, surrounds himself with great people, and never hesitates to stand up for his friends. When we were in a band together, it’s fair to say the rest of us were background players compared to him—women were always chasing Mavi!
But what really stands out about him is his heart. He’s the kind of person who smiles through life’s challenges and makes sure the people around him feel supported and uplifted. I see a lot of myself in Mavi because of how much he cares for the people in his life and thinks long term. He’s a loving husband to his wife Raj, a proud son to his parents, and an invaluable friend to me.
JOHN RITCHIE - OFFICIANT
Lindsay:
John... or I should say, "Uncle John," has been a constant and important presence in my life for as long as I can remember. He and his wife, Joanne, were close friends with my parents long before I was born, and over the years, their daughter Lauren became good friends with my sister Rachel, then eventually myself. From those early family friendships, John has remained a steady source of support, wisdom, and generosity.
When Gagan came into my life, I knew John and Joanne's family would be the perfect people to introduce him to. I could already sense that John and Gagan would quickly form a bond, filled with meaningful conversations and deep friendship, just like the one I’ve shared with John all these years.
I call John and Joanne, "Uncle John and Auntie Joanne," but I also like to consider them like a second set of parents. Guiding, encouraging, supportive, and loving. They have brought warmth to my life that I am ever so grateful for.
Gagan:
I first met John through Lindsay’s family, and it didn’t take long to see why they hold him in such high regard. John is a man of integrity and deep faith, someone who truly lives out the principles he teaches. Over the past two years, he has been a mentor to me, someone I deeply admire for how he carries himself as a husband, father, and grandfather.
From our very first conversation, I knew we’d form a genuine connection. John has been instrumental in guiding me through my faith journey, teaching me how to lead a godly life and stay rooted in the wisdom of the scriptures. His encouragement and example have made a lasting impact on me, and I’m so grateful to have him lead this special moment in our lives.
Gagan & Lindsay:
We chose John to marry us because of the unwavering support and spiritual guidance he and Joanne have provided in both Gagan’s and my life. Their influence and love have shaped us in ways we cannot fully express. We could not have found a better person to marry us, and we are beyond grateful for their presence and support on this special day.
