Mallory & Tyler
Wedding Party
Lindsey Weaver
Maid of Honor
Lives in Saint Paul, MN. It all started our sophomore year... and we’ve been “getting up to trouble” together ever since. One of my favorite things about Lindsey is that she can debate and discuss any side of any argument and walk away unphased at the end. She creates meaningful and real dialog with those around her. She isn’t afraid to do what feels right and she’s made me laugh more than I can tell you as we’ve ventured the world together.
Allison Croat
Bridesmaid
Lives in Rochester, MN. I don’t think I really “got” Al until her and Keith’s wedding. She is a bad-ass, coffee loving, yoga moving woman. We grew closer as I worked often in Rochester while helping Mayo Clinic install Epic. Allison isn’t afraid to change it up if she doesn’t like what she’s doing, she is thoughtful and asks questions to make sure you’re heard, and she is a glue for our friends.
Anna Fett
Bridesmaid
Lives in New York. Y’all. Anna’s dedication to making you feel welcomed and seen is second to none. She is wicked smart and has explored higher academia longer than most of us care to think about - but she does with a passion and fever for learning herself and teaching others and learning through teaching them. We sang together through college and have some great moments hosting big groups together or bringing the people we love to one place.
Jackie Kapla
Bridesmaid
Lives in Australia. Moving to the other side of the world and finding someone that enjoys the world in similar ways that you do is rare, my friendship with Jackie has been just that – passionate, curious, committed, and engaged. We’re accountability buddies, coaches to each other, explorers, enablers (mostly for the better – like healthy eating, running half-marathons in every territory in Australia – and sometimes for the more indulgent – like a day at Miss Fox, a fancy hotel stay, or maybe that extra order of wine). Jackie brings gratitude and exploration to my life.
Kate Schacherl
Bridesmaid
Lives in Wisconsin. When you need to tell someone the hard thing, to trust them with a piece of yourself you’re afraid to share, Kate is that woman. Need someone who has impressive credentials, Kate’s your girl; which you’d never know from her favorite Wisconsin red sweatshirt and jeans. She is one of the hardest workers I know; and her dedication to changing the field of dentistry always makes me smile. She is a confidant and a root to our lives in Madison. One thing I love about Kate is that you can be miles apart, days/weeks/months without talking, but when you need that person, she’s always there without judgement and to lean on.
Katie Buckles
Bridesmaid
Lives in Florida. Oh boy, I knew right away that Katie was an important part of Tyler’s life, and a person that Tyler would listen to as we felt out our evolving relationship. From the time we started planning Tyler’s birthday surprise in Madison, you’ve been deeply committed to the family you love. Your heart opens wide for those you love and it has opened wide for me too. You match the energy of the moment and the spontaneity of a life of fun and purpose. I know you’ll say yes with me to Olympics at Mullet or to making sure we have joy, laughter, and relaxation in our lives.
Taylor Perkins
Bridesmaid
Lives in South Dakota. Can you describe one of your best friends as “tall, dark, and handsome”? Who knows! But, Taylor is one of those quietly cool and beautiful souls. She wouldn’t be confident enough in herself to tell you that, but she’s kind, sincere, and engaged in the world to make it a better place for those around her.
James Buckles
Ring Bearer
Lives in Ohio. Our favorite little man (only not so little now) will be bringing the rings down the aisle. James loves to understand how something works as much as Tyler - truly brothers in that way. James is kind and thoughtful, he shares his affection in the sweetest of ways, and boy does he make us smile! We've loved drawing, building, learning to surf, and hanging with James as he becomes too big for us to hold like this picture!
Kennedy & Madelyn
Flower Girl
Live in Cincinnati, OH with their parents Ryan (Tyler's brother) and Tarah (Ryan's wife). These two sweet ladies make a field of sunflowers more beautiful. Behind those gorgeous smiles are independent, strong-willed ladies who have spirit and attitude. They are growing up so quickly, but not too quickly to get out of being our flower girls!
Ryan Buckles
Best Man
Lives in Cincinnati, OH with his wife Tarah and two daughters, Kennedy and Madeline. Ryan is Tyler’s older brother. Growing up 18 months apart meant a lot of tough love and respect that had to be earned, but a bond that can never be broken.
Scott Scherpenberg
Groomsman
Lives in Columbus, OH with his wife Eve and son Mike. Scott aka “Scherp” is a lifelong friend of Tyler. They grew up 6 houses apart during their childhood and attended grade school together. Their friendship has led to countless road tips to the lake and general ‘shenanigans’ over the years.
Bert Schilling
Groomsman
Lives in Columbus, OH with his wife Marcy and son Max. Bert and Tyler became close friends in high school and further built upon that relationship as they attended Miami University together and were KA fraternity brothers
Scott Grotjan
Groomsman
Lives in Dallas, TX with his wife Monica. Tyler and Scott have been close friends since the day they discovered life jackets really do save lives, especially on land, at night, running down a hill. Scott also attended Miami University with Tyler.
Mitchell Heinzeroth
Groomsman
Lives in Denver, CO. Mitch is Mallory’s younger brother and Tyler’s soon to be brother-in-law. You guessed it, they became friends when Mallory and Tyler started dating. Over the years Mitch made himself a honorable part of the Buckles family spending time at the cabin and welcoming Tyler’s family with open arms. How many friends do you have that share the same birthday?? They can both say at least 1.
Bo Sutton
Groomsman
Lives in Madison, WI with his wife Kristie. It’s hard to put a finger on exactly how and when their friendship started. Let’s just say Madison has a lot to offer and Bo is part of it. Bo is part of the annual golf trip brings limitless excitement to any occasion.
