Matron of Honor
Alexis never makes you feel bad when you show up wearing basically the same outfit, but will cut you if you poke her in the arm. So don't. She is Bethany's best friend since high school, and the two have been through a LOT together, they met in choir, obviously. Alexis is the kind of Person/Wife/Mother that people aspire to be. Everyone should have a friend like her.
Best Man
Who you want on your side when dodgeball turns into dodge-brawl. Chris's best friend. They met on a basketball court somewhere and then lived together for between 2 and 9 years. They honestly don't know. He is the coolest and the nicest - even if he's the second coolest and nicest in his own marriage.
Bridesmaid
More accurate than accuweather. Erin and Bethany have worked together at Webber MS for 9 years, and Bethany is Erin's favorite coworker....Erin is a fabulous science teacher and an expert vacation planner. She makes everything more fun: not just bringing the party, she IS the party.
Groomsman
Knows more answers than Google. Rob is Chris' oldest brother, and the guy you want to have around to settle arguments that can benefit from facts. He's great a table top games, and a fabulous listener.
Bridesmaid
Can make food better than your average brunch spot ;) Katie and Bethany met playing softball in Greeley, Colorado. They quickly realized they both went to Michigan State but didn't meet until moving to CO. Katie is also a teacher, and she's amazing at it. She could run a country with little effort.
Groomsman
Can make any mushroom shirt look like formal wear. Chris's next oldest brother after Rob, Greg is a kind soul who makes the BEST mashed potatoes. He has the best shoe collection, and will always say yes when you ask for help. He is a whimsical joy.
Bridesmaid
Has an impeccable memory when it comes to jumpsuits. Sarah and Bethany met their first day at Michigan State, and it would be quicker to tell you the classes they DIDN'T take together. Sarah is an expert High School choir director in Michigan, a fabulous singer, and never goes too long without reaching out for a phone call. She is a soulful gem.
Groomsman
Is the most patient with nicknames. Chris's youngest sibling. Most fun to joke with. Knows a lot, about a lot. Is pretty great at sports, and pretty good at making you feel better about yourself when you mess up in golf or backing out of a driveway.
Officiant
Is not afraid of public speaking. Bill and Bethany have been close friends for over 10 years starting in Poudre School District the same year. He is primarily a Band director, but has also taught Choir and Orchestra. When he and Bethany became friends he put his number into her phone under the name: Bill "the hurricane" Cleary, and that it how it remains to this day. He is a great sounding-board for a decade of dating woes, and is the king of cheer-up laughs. In unrelated news: his wife Tara is very patient.
Honor Attendant
Holds the family record for most spoons hanging off a face. Kate is Chris' only sister, and the most tenacious Hampson. She put up with four brothers. She has two adorable dogs, and a little baby on the way. You definitely want her on your team, doesn't matter the competition. Her husband is too generous with allowing people to drive his car.
