The Wedding Website of Olya Jidkov and Artem Epishin
Please meet our special guests who have chosen to share our extraordinary day with us. Each of these individuals holds a special place in our hearts, having witnessed our growth as a couple. Their presence is truly meaningful, and we are grateful that they will be part of this unique and cherished celebration.

Tayllor Pharris

Maid of Honor

Taylor and I first crossed paths in NYC at our modeling agency. Our connection deepened as we discovered mutual friends from California and shared interests such as Disney, baking, ballet, and more. Despite the hustle and bustle of NYC, we both relocated around the same time and managed to carve out time for each other, blossoming into the best of friends—especially during the challenges of COVID. Taylor, I adore you, and I'm incredibly grateful that our journeys aligned in the bustling streets of NYC. I eagerly look forward to celebrating my special day with you!


Karolina Alekseyeva

Maid of Honor

've known Karolina the longest, and our friendship truly began to blossom after high school. I am incredibly grateful for our connection because she has been a witness to my growth and has been there for me through thick and thin. Despite living in different states, whenever we reunite, it feels like no time has passed. She's consistently there when I need her, the best listener, and the perfect sing-along companion on our road trips. I can't wait to create even more beautiful memories with her for my wedding.

Kyra Dixon

Bridesmaid

Kyra and I first met many moons ago while working at Papa Murphy's, and our friendship has only strengthened since then. We've journeyed together from making pizzas to selling shoes, navigating college classes, and enjoying nights out in downtown Sacramento. Kyra has been by my side since Artem and I started dating, proving to be our biggest supporter. Kyra, I cherish our friendship, and I'm thrilled that this day has finally arrived. I can't wait to share the dance floor with you at my wedding!


Chuck Dibben

Bridesman

Where do I begin with Chuck? First and foremost, a big thank you to my brother Artem for introducing Chuck into our lives. Ever since Chuck became roommates with my brother, our friendship has blossomed. Chuck is not only one of the funniest individuals I know but also one of the kindest. Some of my favorite memories with Chuck have always involved camping—yeahhhh... I am thrilled to have you in my wedding party!

Roxanne Vo

Bridesmaid

Roxanne and I share one of the most beautiful and funniest friendships. Our connection began while working at a restaurant, and from that day forward, we've become inseparable besties. Our shared love for adventure, good food, not to mention her appreciation for my family's Russian cuisine, has created countless cherished memories. I love her dearly, and together we've experienced significant growth. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have her as a friend, and I'm overjoyed to have her by my side on my big wedding day!


Nikki Jidkov

Bridesmaid

Nikki entered my life when my youngest brother started dating her, and from the moment we met, I knew she would not only become one of my besties but also a sister. Nikki is one of the most talented, loving, hilarious, and kind-hearted individuals I have ever encountered. Every moment spent with her turns into a wonderful and crazy adventure. Nikki, I love you dearly, and I am eagerly anticipating having my sister by my side on my wedding day.

Heather Jidkov

Bridesmaid

Heather and I crossed paths thanks to my big brother. The moment I met Heather, I couldn't help but wonder how my brother found and won her over—haha. However, I quickly realized Heather's special qualities. She's always been incredibly welcoming and kind, with a bit of spunk and a daring adventurous side. Whether it's heading to the beach at night or going for a spontaneous night swim, Heather is always up for an adventure. Thank you, Heather, for your friendship and the sisterhood we share. As we celebrated your wedding day, I'm eagerly looking forward to having you by my side this time!


Claire Poissant

Claire and I first met on our first day working at Crate and Barrel during COVID, and since then, our friendship has flourished. The moment I met her, I knew I wanted her to be my friend. Not only is she an Aussie, but she is incredibly funny, kind, silly, loyal, and stands up for herself and others. Though we haven't known each other for a long time, I feel a deep connection to Claire. I love you so much, Claire, and I'm thrilled to have you be a part of my wedding party!

Anna Voshev Yaslinsky

Anna and I have known each other for a long time, originating from the same community, and our friendship blossomed after high school. I want to express my gratitude to Karolina for bringing us together. Anna has been a witness to my journey from the beginning, always there by my side. We've embarked on numerous adventures together and shared in each other's biggest milestones. I love you Anna and I couldn't imagine my special day without having her by my side.
