Chris and Matt have been friends for over a decade. It's no wonder he's being called up to the big leagues for an event such as this; his loyalty, his lack of subtlety, and his love of the drink will treat us all well on that beautiful June day.Chris and Matt used to drive around in the Mazda 3 when they should have been in school, build things in his garage with power tools nobody authorized them to use, and stay up all night playing Call of Duty zombies, crushing sugary energy drinks sure to eventually give us the diabetes we deserve. Kerr enjoys road trips, 125°F kitchens, aggressively brash jokes, Red Bull, and emerging tech. What excites him most about this wedding is being allowed to divulge all the embarrassing stories about Matt that his heart - two sizes too small - desires.

This beauty stood by Mackenzie through two different schools and four memorable years of college. Nazareth College allowed for a high school "class friends" status to blossom into inseparable best friends. From there, Katie and Kenz took SUNY Oswego by storm. This chica roomed with Mackenzie not one but THREE (!!) times and lived to tell the tale. The pairs' favorite pastimes include sharing a grilled cheese, grasshopper, and vodka infused gummies. Katie also brought these two lovebirds together in the most unexpected way. We are so excited to get loony with Kate on our wedding day.

This beaut is one of Mackenzie's sissons (aka cousin/sister hybrid) who helps make up this dashing group of bridesmaids. Growing up, Mackenzie spent a lot of time in the Charbonneau home "making movies", "designing clothes" and "staging photoshoots" with Cat and her twin sister, Aliza. When they weren't putting their extensive creative skillset to good work, the girls spent their remaining free time taking long walks, chatting, and laughing over inside jokes. Mackenzie is so excited to have Cat in the bridal party - and can't wait to take their "glam sessions" to the next level on the morning of the wedding.

Laura and Mackenzie were brought together by the fates working in the SUNY Oswego campus housing department. When Mackenzie transferred to Oswego, she was randomly plopped into Laura's dorm room. Kenz infiltrated Laura's room with whale paraphernalia - and the rest is history! This little lady has stood by Mackenzie's side through all kinds of shenanigans, and together, the two make up the iconic "bad team" who have been known to take both Bridge Street and Caroline Street by storm. We couldn't imagine her NOT tearing up the dance floor on our big day!

Carly and Mackenzie have been going strong for twenty years. The unlikely duo met way back in first grade at Kid’s Towne, the daycare run by Carly’s mom out of their home. A friendship soon blossomed - one that endured a handful of pranks pulled by the maid of honor herself. Together, Carly and Mackenzie have overcome every adolescent hurdle out there (basketball shorts, low ponytails, scrunchies...you get the gist) and continue to glow up each year. Like a fine wine, this is one friendship that just seems to get better with age. You can look forward to hearing her debut stand-up routine (MOH speech) on the big day!

Aliza is another sisson who has been thrown into the wedding party mix! Growing up, Mackenzie spent many weekends hunkered down at "Camp Charbonneau" - having sleepovers with Aliza and her twin sister, Cat. Gone are the days of making movies, having elaborate America's Next Top Model style makeovers in the basement, and being weird in a way that just can't be explained with words. While we are still waiting on our "WGBF" prophecy to come true - for now - this creative chica is living her best life down in New York City. So excited to boogie down with Lize at the Parrish/Pfiefer wedding!

This pretty little thing has glowed all the way up from Mackenzie's childhood nemesis to best friend and bridesmaid status. How could one conquer such a feat, you might ask? On a fateful snowy day back in middle school, Mackenzie sent the ultimate risky text and asked Sara over to play. After one round of the Game of Life, the ladies were able to put any lingering capture the flag tensions in the past. What blossomed was a beautiful friendship of heart to hearts, inside jokes, and awkward hugs. Safe to say we are honored to have this wise soul in our wedding party!

Emily is one of Mackenzie's very many sissons who help make up this group of bridesmaid beauties. Since getting her bad childhood habit of biting under control, Em has been busy completing her undergraduate degree at the University of South Carolina, and is now living the high life in Baltimore. This social butterfly brings good vibes and the laughs everywhere she goes. We are beyond stoked to have her be a part of the big day!

Jenn, better known as Ms. Parrish #1, has been with Mackenzie since day one...literally. Jenn was Mackenzie's first best friend, and she has always looked up to her equal parts goofy and FEIRCE older sisson. It's hard not to look up to someone who made a middle school boy cry for even looking at Mackenzie the wrong way in the hallway (thanks, by the way). Jenn wears many hats: friend, cousin, sission, fellow teacher and Oswego alum...but on June 15th she will be playing the role of bridesmaid - and we couldn't be more thrilled! (P.s. Jenn, if you're reading...please don't bite anyone's leg until after the first round of drinks, okay?)

Nick met Matt at Saratoga Tea & Honey Co., where Nick is now the Bar Manager. A mutual appreciation for inappropriate jokes, good music, and tea - a unique combination - formed the strong foundation for their friendship. Nick is an aspiring business owner, but everyone is pretty sure he's that American Apparel model they saw in that magazine that one time.

Richard was Matt's college roommate and Physics colleague at SUNY Oswego. They botched presentations together, shouted weird noises across the college campus, and got into some shenanigans in the recently-demolished Snygg Hall. Richard enjoys purposefully and gracefully falling on his face in front of large crowds, wailing all the way down, and selling things on eBay that we didn't know he ever had. He can put a smile on anyone's face, regardless of whether or not they're a complete stranger on the streets of Oswego, NY.

Devon and Matt go back pretty far! Devon played very intricate guitar parts in an alternative rock band in the same holes-in-the-wall that Matt's band played. After attempting to steal Devon for themselves (and failing), members of Matt's band all agreed that Devon was WAY too good of a guy not to befriend. Years later, Matt's man crush still persists. Devon has a passion for creative outlets of all kinds, but especially inspirational writing, music, and design. He is a world traveler and is always honing his craft; learning, teaching, and understanding. Devon is actually the Buddha and just finished meditating under a tree for many, many years. I'm still waiting for him to teach me yoga, but he just keeps saying, "Peace exists only in the present moment." DEVON YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!

Ryan was the middle child. He was a huge fan of running around outside in the buff whenever it rained, and was pretty sure that Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, "never wears pants." I think he looked up to Tigger. Ryan is an aspiring screenwriter with a no-B.S. attitude towards the modern interpretation of "adulting." He knew pretty early on that there was no way he was going to do anything he didn't absolutely love, and I respect that about him big time. Ryan's definitely the coolest of the brothers, but at least I can take solace in knowing that it took him forever to figure out how to tie a tie and lace a shoe. "This tie won't tie!!"

Jack is the youngest brother. As a baby, he was the cutest brother. Fun fact: he had a birth mark on his forehead in the shape of a heart. Then... well, you know. He got old.Jack is an aspiring sports agent. He dreams of getting a law degree and working as a contract lawyer until he reaches the NBA. But then, plot twist, he balls so hard that they sign him as a point guard for the Jazz.As the bouncer of the wedding, if you want to get to the bride or the groom, you'll have to go through all 5'6" of him first.

Mike is the older of two incoming brothers-in-law. As if Kenzie didn't already have enough brothers - Mike and Thomas - ...welp, she just got two more. Mike is a software developer and a Settler of Katan. Watch out for this one: it's the quiet ones you should be worried about partying at a wedding.

Thomas is the youngest groomsman of the group, and Mackenzie’s youngest brother. Soon to be a senior at Saratoga Springs High School, Tom is a longtime lover of baseball and the Naked Brothers Band. Okay, he might have outgrown that last one. Can’t wait to spend the night celebrating with Tom and the rest of our families!
