Nevin and Annie’s story might surprise you a little. Was it conventional? Not even close. But then again, the best love stories usually aren’t.Let’s rewind to 2018. Poppy (Annie’s sister) had just met Nevin at a retreat and immediately called Annie, glowing with excitement. “I found you the perfect man,” she said. “You guys would be great together.” She sent Annie a photo, and after one glance, Annie laughed and joked, “I wanna marry that boy.”Cute, right?	Well, here's the catch - Nevin did not know Annie. And Annie? She forgot about her prophecy.	So, you’re probably wondering how two kids on opposite coasts met right? Fast track to October of 2024. Enter Poppy again (clearly the MVP) and Nevin’s cousin Deepu - the ultimate matchmaking duo- who decided it was finally time for fate to catch up. They introduced the two, and let’s just say...sparks didn’t just fly, they booked round trip tickets.From that moment on, Annie and Nevin were inseparable. How inseparable? Try 38 flights in six months inseparable. Them and Jake from TSA? Best friends, on a first name basis.	So, in July of 2025, Nevin made it official and put a ring on it - because when you know, you really do know. The moral of the story? Never underestimate a joke you made six years ago. God has a funny sense of humor and perfect timing.	We’re so excited for our wedding day and for our future together. We’re endlessly grateful to God, our family, and our friends who played a part in bringing us here. We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you- the people who’ve been cheering us on since flight number one!

Our Story

Photos

My matron of honor, Poppy, is not only my sister but also my best friend and built-in protector. She’s the only person who won’t answer my FaceTime unless I text ‘SOS.’ She’s hilarious, fiercely loyal and a little bit of a rat in the best way possible. She’s also the whole reason this wedding is happening, since she introduced me and Nevin. If you see Poppy, give her a well-deserved pat on the back!

My bridesmaid, Anju, is my older sister, but to me, she’s like a second mom. She’s our biggest supporter and certified hype woman.  She’s gone from changing my diapers to helping me change my last name! She’s been there for me through all stages of life. Catch her on the dance floor singing every song-but never knowing any of the words!

Anju Patel

My sister Asha is my certified therapist, voice of reason, and the person who somehow makes every situation better. You know that person that just knows how to say the right thing at the right time? That’s Asha. She’s also the best mom, wife and somehow manages her side hustle of being a full time doctor too. From saving lives to saving my sanity she’s genuinely the best sister anybody could ever ask for!

My future sister-in-law, Nidhi, is basically me in another body. From singing Israyelin Naadhanayi every chance we get in the car (obviously the best Mallu song), to being my certified translator, and now standing by me on my big day — I’m so incredibly lucky to officially be making her my fourth sister! 

Nidhi Pallivathucal

Noel is my older brother and best man, but he’s always been so much more than that to me. I’ve always looked up to him as a father figure—he taught me how to play basketball, and growing up I pretty much copied everything he did. Everyone who knows Noel loves him for his compassion, kind heart, and caring nature. I couldn’t think of a better person to stand beside me on this day—because I am my brother’s keeper, and he is mine.

Noel Joseph Pallivathucal

Aaron is one of my best friends and someone who’s always there to brighten up any day. He’s always down for my bad ideas and never fails to encourage me when things are looking bleak. He’s the kind of friend who will always make time for you no matter what. His laugh is infectious, his grit is unmatched and he’s like a second brother to me! I’m grateful to have him standing by my side on this day!

Aaron Tom

Sanjeev and I met on our very first day of college, and he’s been one of my best friends ever since. From freshman year spent playing Naruto, Injustice, and pool to living together in San Francisco (shoutout North Beach), we’ve shared countless memories. No matter how busy life gets, Sanjeev has always been there to help and support me. He’s one of the most selfless people I know, and I’m grateful to have him standing by my side on this day!

Sanjeev Venkatesh

Sebastian is one of my closest friends and someone I can always count on. From snowboarding trips and late-night basketball runs to nonstop laughs, we’ve shared countless memories and always shown up for each other when it mattered most. He’s the kind of person who leads by example—steady, dependable, and quietly driven in everything he does. His loyalty, determination, and calm presence have meant the world to me over the years, and I’m incredibly grateful to have him standing by my side on this day!
