What to expect...as of now!

Many of our close friends and family have contacted us and asked "what to expect" the weekend of our wedding. Here is what we have so far...

Friday Night--Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner
We are planning on having the rehearsal, including the wedding party at 5:00 p.m. After rehearsal, approx 7:00 we are going to have dinner with our wedding party and all out of town family at Megan's parents place.

Saturday--WEDDING DAY
We are excited about our big day! Photos with our immediate family (parents, siblings, spouses of siblings, and children of siblings) begin at 12:00 noon starting with the Hanson side, 12:30 p.m. the Tucker side of the family, ceremony beginning at 1:30. We will be taking pictures with extended family after the ceremony.

Sunday-Post Wedding
We are not planning any events for this day as we are leaving on our HONEYMOON to VEGAS.

As we get closer to the wedding we will have more of a detailed schedule of the days events. We hoped we have answered some of the questions. If you would like additional information please let us know! Eight weeks and counting...

Catch up & Hotel Information

We hope everyone had a Safe and Happy Holidays! We took a "break" from wedding planning from Thanksgiving through the first of the year.



We would like to take a moment to catch you up on what has been going on with the Hanson/Tucker family. In December, a week and a half before Christmas we moved into a house. What a crazy idea...to move THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS! I'm sure it was Joe's idea! Just Kidding. We are enjoying the space of having a MUCH larger home for all of us to move around in. We enjoyed "our" first Christmas together and had a quiet New Year.



After the New Year we decided it was time to get back to wedding planning, realizing that the BIG DAY was only 3 months away!



Now for what this post is really about. Hotel Information.



There are only 2 nice hotels in Porterville. We went to both of them to see what they could offer our guests. This is what we came up with:



Holiday Inn Express: PREFERRED



This is a new hotel that has been open for less than 2 years. It is the nicer of the 2 hotels and they are willing to offer a deal to our guests. They blocked off 30 rooms for out of town guests. They will hold that block until March 1st. They also offer a nice breakfast bar every morning. It also has a pool & Spa (you never know what the weather will be like in April here). Remember to mention our names when you call to get these rates.



The rates are:

King Bed-$99.00

2 Queen Beds-$110

King Suite-$110



Best Western of Porterville:



This hotel is a little older but has been remodeled a couple of years ago. They would not block rooms for us or guarantee a rate. When we looked into this hotel the rates for that time period were about the same price as the Holiday Inn's regular rates.



If you need more information about either hotel or are interested in not staying in Porterville, just contact us and we would be glad to offer up other suggestions.



Our invitations got here a couple of days ago and are scheduled to go out by the first of February. We hope to get some information about things to do in and around Porterville so you can make the most of your time here in our "little" town. Keep checking back with us for more info! We look forward to seeing everyone in April!

Engagement Photos

Back in October we went and had Engagement and "Family Photos" taken. We would like to share "the best of" with you.

Our Engagement Picture...

"Our New Family"...

Our Boys...


Joe with Tyler...Megan with Cole

Tyler and Cole
And our favorite picture of all:

This picture of the boys says it all! Cole loves the idea of having a "BIG" brother and underneath Tyler's teenage "what do you want" look...he really does love his soon~to~be little brother! We all couldn't be happier!

Save the Date!

Welcome family and friends! As most of you know by now, Joe asked Megan to marry him in September! We have set the date for the wedding, April 4th 2009. We thought having a blog would be a fun/easy way for family and friends to stay informed with the progress of our wedding plans for the big day! We hope you enjoy this site and we look forward to seeing you April 4th!
