David & Anna
Wedding Party
David Petrashov
Groom
An entrepreneurial spirit with a heart for adventure, I’m always chasing new opportunities—unless, of course, I’m fishing. A man who fears the Lord, I find peace in being on the lake and joy in the thrill of the unknown. In 2021, I met the love of my life, and soon, I begin the greatest adventure of all—marriage.
Anna Konopelkin
Bride
I am so excited to marry the love of my life that I met three years ago at a wedding where I was the maid of honor and he was the best man. Some people say fate. I say a divine encounter, into our future. I am an inspiring nervous system chiropractor and I am so excited to explore my new home in Minnesota.
Stan Petrashov
Best Man
Hi, I’m Stan, the groom’s younger brother, a husband, and a proud dad to my almost one-year-old son, Ruvim. I’ve always loved being outdoors and working with my hands, whether it’s building projects or spending time in the backyard. I built a koi pond that I’m really proud of, and I’m hoping to start breeding koi fish this summer. I also take care of a small flock of backyard chickens, which keeps life interesting! When I’m not outdoors or tackling DIY projects, I run my car detailing and window tinting business, which I’m passionate about. I’m excited to celebrate this special day with everyone—just don’t be surprised if you catch me trying to convince someone to build a koi pond at their place too!
Valerie Konopelkin
Maid of Honor
Hi I’m Valerie , Anna’s second youngest sister. I’m so excited to be standing by my sister’s side on this special day :) I’m the reason Anna gave David a chance nah just kidding it was all God’s providence …. unless. I’m a licensed esthetician and finishing school to get my qualifications to work in other states. If I’m not at school, I’m working at Trader Joe’s, the gym, or taking a long nap. I can’t wait to celebrate this special day with all you beautiful guests !!
Viktor Grin
Groomsman
I told myself that I’m not participating in anymore weddings but my own. David threw one heck of a sales pitch at me so now I’m here. If it wasn’t for the wedding today, I would be out doing things like drifting my race car, golfing, or shredding a jet-ski. While I am a sucker for a fun time, I do need to be an adult sometimes which includes running an Irrigation business with my family and rebuilding a house I recently purchased. I have been called elusive by some so if you do catch me at the wedding, consider yourself lucky I guess.
Emma Konopelkin
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Emma, Anna’s youngest sister. Anna asked the funniest person to be her bridesmaid, she said no then the smartest, she also said no then she asked the prettiest person, she also said no. After three tries, I finally said yes I will be your bridesmaid. Anna was the best Uber you could ever ask for but now that she’s getting married, I have to get my license. Anna and I always went on adventures whether it’s fishing or the mall. I’m so happy that Anna and David are starting this new adventure in their lives.
