Carlin & Michael
Wedding Party
Shannon Barber
Maid of Honor
Shannon and Carlin met when Carlin began working at Upstate Medical. Their friendship quickly grew off of sarcastic jabs, sushi, and a love of iced coffee. They frequently jam out to their favorite tune Despacito (just be prepared for those dance moves and serenade!) and keep each other sane during the remaining months of their graduate studies. The mischief between these two is hilarious, from popping champagne bottles out of cars to late night Taco Bell runs after a night out and sleepovers in Shannons bed with loads of gossip, it was only fit for Shannon to be Carlin’s maid of honor. Between the memories, stories, and antics these two have shared, we can’t wait to hear the maid of honor speech (PG-13 please!)
Eddie Rizzo
Best Man
Eddie and Mike met in college, and it was immediately apparent that they were meant for each other. They were inseparable throughout college where they threw the coolest parties and were the clowns of the town. Now that Eddie and his wife Brittany are moving back from Texas to the area this bond is sure to grow(lord help us). Look for these two to be causing the most trouble and making the craziest dance moves on the dance floor at the wedding!
Stacy Penoyer
Bridesmaid
Carlin and Stacy met the summer following moving into their Taylor road home. After some wild assumptions about her new neighbors, Stacy invited Carlin and Mike to their Balloon Fest party! It was clear that night that they would be great friends. From bottles of vino, endless family dinners, laughing uncontrollably, to killer workouts (hopefully she can make Carlin Belize ready!), and all of the fun in between Stacy and Carlin have created a bond that is sure to last a lifetime!
Mike Penoyer
Groomsman
Mike met Michael through his wife Stacy, and a summer of man drinks, bon-fires, and 4-wheelers turned into a great friendship. Whether it is wrestling on Saturday night, doing doughnuts with their 4-wheelers or cracking jokes these two give the girls a handful. We can't wait to see what kind of crazy nights these two will have in Belize. One things for sure, man drinks will be flowing, and the laughter will be plentiful.
Brittany Rizzo
Bridesmaid
Brittany met Carlin at the beginning of her relationship with Michael. Michael and Brittany met as a result of her husband Eddie and Mike being best friends throughout college (lord help us). Brittany has watched their love grow and has supported them all the way through. Brittany and Carlin quickly bonded from the moment they met and they keep each other from going crazy as a result of the two 'best buds.' You can find the two talking until all hours of the morning, eating pizza, and also cheering on the Bills during football season! Brittany has watched them from the beginning and we cannot wait for her to be there when they say "I DO!"
Sean Hamlin
Groomsman
Sean and Mike met in college with Eddie and their time was spent getting their degrees and degrees in partying. The three had some fun nights from stories told, so Belize should be no different! Sean and Mike have a love for snow and motors, so it is no surprise they spend the majority of their winters on the trails riding, and summers are spent with whatever other antics or motors are available! Things are sure to get interesting at the wedding!
Scott Gleason
Groomsman
Scott and Mike met through Stacy and Mike at their balloon fest party shortly after moving into their new home. It was immediately clear that both of their personalities would click. While this proves to be very entertaining for our group of friends, from 4-wheelers, alcohol, and mudfests, to wrestling anywhere anytime mike and Scott have become good friends. Scott is also ordained online to perform weddings, although it’s not technically legal for him to marry Mike and Carlin, they are working in loopholes, because nothing would be more entertaining! We look forward to seeing what outfit Scott will choose to sport on the big day and all the hilarious antics to go along with it!
Eric Ryczak
Groomsman
Eric and Mike met through the Air National Guard where they became friends spending their time on Oneida lake boating, on spring break in Florida, and enjoying bon fires. Since, the two support each other with their passion for rental properties. We are happy that Eric will be making the trip to Belize to help the happy couple say 'I do'
Jared Sharlow
Groomsman
Jared and mike are friends from mikes hometown and made their way through school, the awkward teen years, and first girlfriends. The two had their share of mischief over the years and although mike moved away after high school the two keep in touch and frequently get together to catch up. Jared will soon be married to and we are so happy that him and his wife will be able to join us during their honeymoon to celebrate!
