Wedding Party

Serge Panchenko
Serge Panchenko - Best Man
Hello my name Serge, I was naturally born and raised in Ukraine and moved here in 2015 and met Artem in middle school. We didn’t have a tight relationship back then but we would always play soccer together and hangout in a similar group. Artem and I got really close during covid year and ever since he’s been like a brother to me. Really happy to be celebrating Artem’s wedding and being his best friend and best man at this wedding.

Hello my name is Kristian. I was born in Kazakhstan and moved to America when I was three years old. As soon as I went to Kindergarten I met Artem. Since then we were best friends and became like brothers. In elementary school we started to play soccer. The sport built us up to a stronger friendship. I played with him from elementary school to high school both club and school teams. Many more to say about what we did together but this all lead up to me being a groomsman at his wedding that I am very excited about.

Aleksey Rakhmanov
Aleksey Rakhmanov - Groomsman
Hello my name is Aleksey Rakhmanov. I met artem in middle school but really got to know him more in high school. Artem and I got to know each other more through church gatherings and just hanging out. Recently, artem got me into side hustles specifically selling kayaks which has so far turned out pretty fun and successful as we take long trips to socal. We both have one thing in common which is getting that money up. But in the end, if all came to me being a groomsman at Artem’s wedding which I’m very excited for and can’t wait!
Darina Bodur
Darina Bodur - Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Darina! Technically Alena's cousin in law but blood-related or not, this bride has been my family since childhood. Alena and I have been through many ups and downs, but when push comes to shove, our friendship continues to grow strong. Alena has taught me how to be assertive (since I can be quite the people pleaser) stylish, strong, to have fun, and so much more, continue to always become inspired by her! I love our spontaneous coffee dates together that end up turning into adventures, and even though her man is taking her away from me haha, I am beyond excited for the future adventures that are to come! It is an honor for the both of us to get married soon within the same year! To both Artem and Alena, I cannot wait to celebrate the best day of your life, God bless y'all!
