Maid of Honor
Being Stef's younger sister, KayKay was initially forced into being Stef's best friend. It may have been a bit rocky at first - like the time Stef pretended to spit on KayKay and she dented the back of her head on a night stand trying to pull away. But as the years have gone by, the two are nearly inseparable, living together in college as well as "the real world."
Best Man
Even though Jesse eats wings with a fork and knife, wears graphic tees, somehow manages to drive in three lanes at once, and can't get on airplanes without Saltines, Tyler and Jesse have found enough other things in common: baseball, Busch Light, and confiscating building blueprints to find back entrances to establishments with long lines.
Matron of Honor
One of Stef's very first friends, Dayna and Stef met in pre-school. Both being the oldest children, their moms were both a little nervous to let them go on a play date. Luckily they were able to ease that anxiety as those play dates have since turned into trips to the Delta, double dates, and trips down the aisle by each other's side.
Best Man
Tyler and Garrett go all the way back to 1987. Whether Tyler was accidentally splitting Garrett's head open in a swimming pool (requiring staples to fix), wearing JNCOs and knocking him down ramps at the skatepark, or hitting him the head with a flying monkey wrench, they paved the way for today's CTE studies. They say you always hurt the ones you love.
Bridesmaid
Thanks to alphabetical order seating, Stef and Kelly met on their first day of high school in PE class. Roommates throughout college, Kel was there for many of life's most memorable moments - like dying their hair terrible shades of brown, or pretending to be bougie eaters in college enjoying sushi every night - until the money ran out and they resorted to Olive Garden.
Groomsman
Tyler and Kyle met at Virginia Tech and bonded over pumping up crowds, terrorizing their roommate by threatening to shave his dog, being diehard fans of MTV's The Challenge, holding their roommate's dog ransom, jumping on couches blasting ASAP Rocky while braving Hurricane Sandy, and getting lost in foreign countries without cell phones. #tylerisbahamas
Bridesmaid
Stef and Amanda met when they were 10 years old, playing softball and perfecting the in-class note pass. Whether it was celebrating the Giants' three World Series wins (THREE... nbd) with champagne showers, or traveling to Nicaragua and Mexico, Amanda has been one of the best people to share all of life's many adventures.
Groomsman
Whether it was a Miley Cyrus, Rob Zombie, or Skrillex concert, Peyton and Tyler were the first to buy tickets along with the clothes, eyeliner, and lip rings to quickly assimilate. Roommates for many years, these two can make any room feel welcoming and homey. All you need is a Mad Dog 20/20 fountain.
Bridesmaid
April and Stef met in high school and then attended Sonoma State. But it wasn't until moving to New York that they lived together and became debutantes. You could normally find them riding their bikes in the snow, walking miles to get to a workout class, or listening to live music at Red Lion with a pint and some chicken strips.
Groomsman
Best friends since middle school, Tyler and Ryan have somehow managed to find trouble together in the US, UK, Canada, Mexico, and Amsterdam. That's gotta be a record, right? They also bonded over sports, music and parties at the other person's house; some of which occurred without the other one being home and the police showing up #AtotheSymtotes
Bridesmaid
Nobody makes a better mix CD or does karaoke better than Meesh. Stef and Meesh met freshman year at Sonoma State. Both eyeing each other for weeks, Meesh finally approached Stef and asked if she had also failed the test (the answer was yes, physics was hard!). That moment led to roommates at the Ritz, trekking all over Napa, and countless trips to Santa Barbara.
Groomsman
Tyler's go-to cooking partner, Ryan and Tyler bonded a few years ago over their love of ham, and their unwavering fandom of perennially disappointing football teams. After trips to Tahoe, Phoenix, and Park City, two things are clear: Tyler can't fish, and Ryan's dog loves Tyler more than him.
Bridesmaid
Stef and Shan met after college during one of the many trips down to Santa Barbara. You can count on Shan for good times and a nice glass of wine. Stef moved in with Shan in North Beach where they hosted a Friendsgiving where sparks flew between Tyler and Stef.
Groomsman
Over the last 2+ years, Tyler and Rye have spent a lot of time together. Whether they're watching sports on the couch with a couple "pops", or surviving marathon Lippi family gatherings, the same things are always present - good laughs, better wine, and Rye's clammy hands.
Flower Girl
The first model in the Buxton family, Rose is well on her way to stardom. She's a fast learner, already doing things better than Uncle Tyler and Auntie Stef - crying, spilling cappuccinos, and banging toys around to the tunes of Raffi.
Ring Bearer
Already a little heartthrob, Cal has had us wrapped around his finger since day one. Those baby blues will melt your heart. If you're bringing a daughter under the age of 5 to the wedding, keep an eye on her. His goo-goos and gah-gahs will leave her starry-eyed
