ean Poquette Hansen has hinted at her commitment to James Seidl in the past and has speculated with plans for her wedding many times but usually in a joking manner. This time in a serious but happy announcement at a hastily called press conference at the KAMR offices, Jean Poquette Hansen proudly showed off her diamond ring as she spoke of her eternal commitment to her beloved, James Seidl.
Seidl his usual calm and collected self relived the magic moment as Poquette-Hansen bubbled over with joy sorting cherry tomatoes given to her by the Kat. Seidl recalled the exact spot he proposed after a short time sorting the details of their trip up north. His mission that day was to visit his parents and inform them of his future wedding, but first an important detail needed to be dealt with, the actual proposal.
Seidl and Poquette-Hansen started for the north woods with Jean none the wiser of the proposal. Seidl decided to stop for lunch at Luigi's in Sobiski and toyed with the idea of proposing there, but he decided after a short time that it was not the appropriate place for such a special moment. After lunch the couple continued on their northern trek and when Seidl reached the state line he found a park in Wall Michigan and pulled in. He described the park as bordering the Menominee River and that is where the magic words were spoken.
The couple had not yet settled on a wedding date when asked, but Poquette-Hansen would prefer to have the wedding in Las Vegas with entertainment booked for the reception such as Tom Jones and maybe a duet sung by Barbara Streisan and Barry Manilow. Seidl liked the idea of the duet. Poquette-Hansen said she was in no hurry to announce a date and felt she had another 8 years to set a date.
Poquette-Hansen said that the ceremony would occur likely within the following year and she would start wedding preparations immediately including picking out her brides maids and contacting entertainers.
The couple would continue to live in the comfortable Greenleaf home after the wedding, it is not known if the happy couple are planning on having children after the nuptials.
