Parents and siblings gave the formal reception speeches. Aditi gave a bride's toast, and Kanav gave a thank-you to the families, friends, and guests who carried the weekend.
Start anywhere. Watch one, or watch the whole arc.
For parents and family, this is the emotional center of the site. The speeches are grouped here as one path so no one has to dig through the reception timeline to find them.
Mother of the Groom
"Jains are Baniya — we only gain, we don't lose. I gained a daughter today."
"Kanav said, 'Mom, let's postpone.' I said, 'I'm only getting older. You better go for it now.'"
"Nani recorded these songs. I'm so glad my children found those videos. That was the most special moment for me."
Sister of the Bride
"Aditi was pretty much the blueprint. I was six years old banging on her bedroom door."
"Bits and pieces of her personality are embedded into who I am today. She's in every concert I go to, every playlist I make."
"I hope you enjoy growing old with her as much as I enjoyed growing up with her."
Brother of the Groom
"You know what they say about being number one in an Indian family? They're always pushing boundaries."
"Kanav took up saxophone — sort of did. Georgia Tech — sort of did. San Francisco — sort of did. Kind of got married? [laughter]"
"I'm so proud of you. I'm very happy our family got to join your family."
Sister of the Groom
"Bhaiya, you have not only led the way for us, but always been there — whether it's the three of us against mom and dad, or us against each other."
"Aditi, since the day you started dating my brother, you've always been there — not just as a sister, but as a friend."
"It really does feel like two families combining into one."
Father of the Bride
"She was battling for two months in the NICU. We are so grateful for that miracle."
"Every single day for three months, she went to the gym. Six days in Utah — among the best of my life."
"Kanav — empathy is the rare quality. He loves to listen, loves to understand."
Mother of the Bride
"She goes with the flow. She's quick to apologize. That's going to take her a long way."
"Her friends came from so far. That's testament to the fact that she has been there for them."
"I love you both so much. I'm inspired by their relationship."
Father of the Groom
"Kanav, I really enjoyed seeing you dancing with your friends. That reminded me of the Leadership Excellence Award."
"Today, we really are thankful that you're bringing smiles on Kanav's face. That's very important."
"Rupa is going to be my youngest sister from here on. Our son is joining the Mukund family."
Bride · Reception toast
"I did it. I'm married. Please get a massage, maybe take a two-day nap."
"Your frequent flyer programs deserve an upgrade. We said no gifts. Your being here means so much."
"That's why I chose the Taylor Swift song. I love you both so much."
Groom · Reception thank-you
"The cold and rain might have changed a few things. Every single one of you who sat out there through the ceremony — we know how hard it was."
"To my new little sister, Ananya — you've got two big brothers now. Congratulations, or sorry that happened."
"Friends from school, from the internet, from dance floors — you've made this weekend what it is."
