Creating Memories

Written by Landon Tucker

I have always had a love for weddings! At a young age, I remember enjoying getting to witness someone special to me tie the knot. Over the past years, like most of us, I have been to many weddings for people I know. Every time I go to someone’s wedding and the couple is at the alter saying their vows I get this tingly feeling throughout my body. I never really thought about getting into the wedding industry until my brother’s wedding and even then I didn’t know I wanted to direct weddings. The turning point came at my friend’s wedding. I was Courtney and Alex’s usher and their wedding director had me get everyone to move up a few seats so there wouldn’t be holes in the pictures of the crowd. That’s when my friend Carrie and her fiancé Corey noticed how I took the initiative. Later on they commented that they would need someone to do that for their wedding. Soon after, I received Corey and Carrie’s Wedding Invitation and RSVP. About 5 days later they ask me to coordinate their Rehearsal and Wedding Day! I was thrilled to help and to my surprise I enjoyed this title more than expected. After everything was over, everyone kept telling me I did an amazing job (If you really know me, you know I don’t know how to take compliments) so when everyone is telling me this, I’m over here saying thank you but I’m really doubting myself and saying it could of gone better. But when the Bride and Groom said you did an outstanding job that took my doubt away. This is how Tie the Knot with Tucker started!
