about
THE COUPLE
Ashna and Acea's love story began the modern way, on Bumble in 2023, with what was supposed to be a simple first date at KC Wine Co. Instead, Acea decided to speedrun the relationship and asked Ashna to be his girlfriend that very same day (bold strategy, but it worked).
Ashna, born and raised in Mumbai, India, brings the energy, the stories, and a spice level that has singlehandedly upgraded Acea's taste buds. Acea, a Kansas boy and proud introvert, has balanced things out by introducing Ashna to the concept of "being on time," ..... a work in progress, but we're getting there.
Between Ashna talking enough for the both of them and Acea quietly keeping everything grounded, they found a rhythym that just works. Ashna's love for LEGO sets means there's always atleast one waiting to be built at home (thanks to Acea, who makes sure they're well-stocked), while Acea's love for dad jokes means there's never a quiet moment .... whether Ashna likes it or not (she does).
Two years (and many spicy meals, LEGO builds and questionable punchlines) later, Acea proposed on the anniversary of that unforgettable first date; proving that sometimes the best things in life happen when you don't overthink it .... and just ask on day one.
The wedding is on the 6th of November, 2026. The ceremony begins at 4.45 pm. Kindly arrive by 4.15 pm, to be seated before the ceremony begins.

about
THE STAY
If none of these options suit your needs, there are plenty of hotels and AirBnB's in the Topeka and Lawrence area you can choose from. Please keep in mind that there is a KU home game on the wedding weekend, hence a lof of the hotels and AirBnB's in Lawrence will be sold out faster than usual.
Ashna and Acea have officially secured some options for you to stay at in both Topeka KS and Lawrence KS, because after all the celebrating and dancing, you probably wont feel like going very far . Here are the reserved room blocks so you can stay close to all the fun ( and maybe recover from it too). Click on an option of your preference to check them out and book using a special rate, and keep the party going just a little longer. Trust us, future-you will be grateful.
about
THE WEDDING PARTY
They say it takes a village; and this is Ashna and Acea's village. Meet the incredible group of family and friends who have trained for this moment their entire lives by hyping the couple when they needed confidence, roasting them when they needed humility and stuck around through everything in between.
If anything runs smoothly through all of this, it is because of them. If it gets chaotic, it is also probably because of them.
Tanu
Maid Of Honor
Tanu is Ashna's sister, lifelong partner in crime and the one who knows way too much. Don't underestimate her based on her tiny stature, she can smile and make anybody dance to her tunes. She can run the show, fix the problem and still end up being the life of the party at the same time.
Cameron
Bestman
Cameron is Acea's life-long best friend, roommate for 7 years and his original life partner. He's been there through every phase, every questionable decision and every moment in between. He still gives Ashna grief for 'stealing' Acea; but everybody knows he's just adjusting to sharing.
Paige
Matron Of Honor
Paige is Ashna's best friend, honorary sister, and full-time participant in their daily call schedule. Between laughing, gossiping, and the occasional “who’s right this time” argument, their relationship runs exactly like a real sibling dynamic. Paige is truly family, no DNA required.
Benjamin
Groomsman
Ben is Acea's closest friends and former roommate. Ben has been around for everything. A fiercely loyal friend, he’s also the group’s leading expert on why birds supposedly aren’t real (ask at your own risk). If there’s trouble or a Warhammer game to be started, Ben is already halfway there.
Brenna
Bridesmaid
Brenna is one of Ashna's best friends, DIY expert, and co-connoisseur of the messiest reality TV. They have spent countless hours creating, crafting, and questioning life choices, both their own and those on TV. Most of the wedding decor will have Brenna's touch and likely a story behind it.
Ethan
Groomsman
Ethan is one of Acea's oldest friends, the brains behind the chaos and the group's go-to nerd. While his ideas may occasionally lead to trouble, they also make for some of the best stories. And if there's an opportunity to embarass Acea (often with Ashna helping him), he will not miss it.
Arya
Bridesmaid
Arya is Ashna's cousin, professional sweetheart, and unofficial life coach. When she's not on the dance floor or queing up the next Bollywood movie, she's dropping wisdom, like reminding Ashna that adulthood comes with perks, like unlimited access to cake. Truly the kind of advice everyone needs.
Trent
Groomsman
Trent, one of Acea's closest friends and former roommate, quite literally spends his time in the clouds as a pilot. While his text responses may take a scenic route, his loyalty never does. Always dependable where it counts, Trent is the kind of friend who's worth the wait.
Karlie
Bridesmaid
Karlie is Acea's baby sister, born 12 years later and somehow still his twin in personality. She’s got the same sense of humor, the same quirks, and probably the same reactions to everything, just in a slightly more upgraded (and younger) version. If one of them is funny, imagine having two.
Renuka
Bridesmaid
Renuka is Ashna's high school friend, long-distance bestie, and living proof that some friendships don’t fade—they just get better with time. After 15+ years of knowing each other (and living in different cities), they’ve perfected the ability to reconnect instantly, usually like they never stopped talking.
Tarun
Groomsman
Tarun is Ashna’s baby cousin, forever little brother, and resident straight-faced comedian. He’s thoughtful, practical, and always ready to help, but also capable of dropping the funniest one-liners without the slightest hint of a smile. No matter how grown up he gets, he’ll always be “the baby."
Jasmine
Bridesmaid
Jasmine is one of Ashna's close friends from grad school, a former colleague and her Type-A soulmate. Their friendship is built on a multual love for design, and a deep appreciation for having things exactly in order. Also, Jasmine is a big fan of Ashna’s ramen, arguably one of the main reasons she sticks around.
Kal-El
Jr. Groomsman
With a nearly 20-year age gap, Kal-El is Acea’s baby brother and resident bundle of energy. Living up to his Superman namesake (at least in spirit), he’s got a heart of gold and just enough mischief to keep everyone on their toes. If he’s not busy being ornery, there’s a good chance he’s somewhere playing Fortnite.
Emma
Bridesmaid
Emma is Ashna's friend who is up for any adventure and usually wondering how she got there. She brings the fun, the laughs, and just the right amount of “wait… what’s happening?” energy to everything she does. Every group could use a Emma to keep things light, lively and just a little chaotic.
Appu
Beer Boy
Appu and Ashna go way back, all the way to age three, so at this point, he’s basically family. Having known each other since they were three, they share a treasure trove of memories, most of which involve Ashna laughing and Appu wishing they’d never be retold. It’s all love…mostly.
Anjaneya
Beer Boy
For the past 13 years, Anjaneya and Ashna have perfected the art of fighting like siblings while remaining completely inseparable. Their shared interests include questionable TV and movie choices, very bad jokes, and eating well, usually while arguing about something. It’s a chaotic system, but it works.
Kushal
Beer Boy
Kushal, Ashna's longtime friend, has spent the last 13 years being the calm, steady presence she can always rely on. Taking his “big brother” role to heart, he’s equal parts supportive and confidently opinionated. If there’s a right answer, Kushal probably has it;or at least believes he does.
William
Ring Bearer
William, is Acea’s little cousin and proof that great things come in small packages. Sweet, smart, and always curious, he’s just as comfortable experimenting in the kitchen as he is building entire worlds in Minecraft. Honestly, don’t be surprised if he outperforms everyone in both.
James
Ring Bearer
James, Acea’s cousin and the youngest ring bearer, proves that age is just a number. Armed with quick wit, a bright mind, and a very sweet nature, he keeps everyone entertained without even trying. His favorite hobbies include drawing, gaming, and quietly outsmarting everyone around him.
Porter
Flower Boy
Porter, one of Ashna & Acea's beloved godchildren, is equal parts mischief and heart. He is known for being just a little ornery, extremely witty and funny. On top of that he is one kindest souls around, always ready to lend a helping hand, or at least keep things interesting while doing it.
Callahan
Flower Boy
Callahan is the definition of a classic younger brother. He is fearless, adventurous, and just a little bit of a daredevil. As one of Ashna and Acea’s godchildren, he keeps life exciting and unpredictable with a charming smile and full awareness of just how cute he is.
Finnegan
Flower Boy
Finnegan, the newest addition to the godkids trio, may be the smallest, but he’s already made the biggest impression. This tiny bundle of joy has completely captured everybody’s hearts without even trying. Sweet, lovable...he really is proof that the best things come in small packages.
Jake
Flower Man
Jake, the slightly taller flower boy, is the proud dad of the rest of the crew. A brother to Ashna, their relationship is built on constant bickering and even more laughter. A phenomenal chef with a heart of gold and a wonderfully goofy sense of humor, Jake proves that flower boys come in all shapes, sizes… and ages.

KJ | GROOMSWOMAN
KJ is Acea's childhood friend and is living proof that not everyone in this group thrives on chaos. Calm, collected and kind, she's been around since the begining and knows exactly what she signed up for. Her one exception? Game day! Because when the KC Chiefs are on, she's fully locked in.
KARLIE | BRIDEMAID
