LOVE & ROMANCE
energy, you are just drawn to that person. It is infectious, and I just
wanted to be around her as much as I could. That’s why I started
catching first pitches for Hannah - to be around her more. I went to the
Casino Queen on my birthday, I invited Hannah, but she stood me up.
She later went to a Cardinals game with me for our first date. the emotion I could have hoped for. The way he looked at me with so much
love and adoration; I will think about it for the rest of my life.
Tucker: My favorite moment was watching her walk down the aisle. I
didn’t need any reassurance that I loved her, but having that moment of
vulnerability was a testament to myself that it was for real.
HOW DID HE PROPOSE? WHAT DO YOU CHERISH MOST ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
Hannah: Every year, my family goes to Charleston, South Carolina,
for vacation. It is my favorite place, and Tucker has always known how
much I love going. On our first night down there in 2016, we went to
dinner with my family. His parents (who live in Daytona Beach, Florida)
had actually come up to see us for a couple of days. I thought they just
wanted to get a little vacation time in.
After dinner, we went for a walk on the beach together, and that’s when
he asked me to marry him. The thing we cherish most is the comfort we have with one another.
There is no judgement or concern about what the other one will think.
We are 100 percent honest and upfront, and we work to listen and
communicate with one another when we do have an issue so it doesn’t
build into something worse. We know we can be ourselves together,
and will always support each other through everything.
WHAT WAS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING?
You hear all these disaster stories of how big things go wrong leading
up to the wedding, or you have the snowball effect where one thing
leads to another, then another, and everything starts to go wrong. We
honestly did not experience any of these things. It was a combination of
choosing an amazing team to help us, and we were so happy and excited
that nothing seemed to cloud the day. We kept in mind that the only
people who would know something did or didn’t happen the way we
wanted it was us.
YOUR FAVORITE MOMENT ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?
Hannah: I absolutely loved the entire day. I was a crazy, happy person that
day; the longer the day went on, the happier I got. But my favorite moment
was walking down the aisle. When I started walking, I saw Tucker’s face. He
was crying, and it was the most beautiful moment of my life. His face had all
WHEN DID YOU REALIZE THIS PERSON WAS THE ONE?
Hannah: It honestly wasn’t long after we started dating. I didn’t realize
it at the time, but looking back, we just hit this spot where I didn’t think
about anyone in my life except him. He is always there for me, and
always knows exactly what I need before I even have to say it. He reads
me like a book, and sometimes, knows me better than I know myself.
He is the most calming presence in my life, and I am happy everyday
because of him.
Tucker: It didn’t take a long time to realize that she was the person. I
was very comfortable with her. We would talk things out if we ever had
frustrations or differences. We had lived together for three-plus years
and everything was going great. I kind of knew from the start that this
could be something special. The energy and personality that originally
drew me toward her never went away. I knew that I wanted to be with
her for the rest of my life, but having that vulnerability on our wedding
day summed up all my feelings and realization.
