'Moonshiners' Fan Favorite, Tickle, Had a Moonshine-Themed Wedding
Yes, Steven Ray Tickle from 'Moonshiners' were given married and used his love for bootlegging booze because the theme for his matrimony. Details inside.
The Discovery series Moonshiners would possibly appear to be an ordinary premise for a show. Can you imagine the manufacturing meeting where a bunch of executives said, "Hey let's record a bunch of folks who enjoy illegally brewing delicious, yet completely unregulated, alcoholic beverages, and make a TV show phenomenon out of it!"
But like maximum presentations, audience are extra interested within the "cast" on camera, and Moonshiners has more than its fair share of colourful characters, like Steven Ray Tickle, who used to be recently married.
The man recognized simply as "Tickle" were given hitched to his sweetheart, Carol, in a copper, moonshine-themed rite. And by means of moonshine-themed I don't mean that there was once simply a bunch of 'shine for folks to imbibe as a part of their matrimonial birthday celebration. While I'm certain that used to be the case, their wedding gave the look of a moonshining rig was transformed into a design language. From picket, to copper fixtures, down to the shimmering bronze clothes bridesmaids wore, all of it appeared very moonshiney.
Have you ever watched Raising Arizona? Well in case you have, then the tale of Tickle and Carol will seem very acquainted. No, they did not team as much as kidnap considered one of six youngsters from a native furniture salesman and had been pals with John Goodman, who, in flip, stole the kid from them after which fought Tex Cobb on a motorcycle to get the child again. But, Tickle, like Nic Cage in the superb Coen Bros. flick, used to be a felon.
And Carol? Well, she's now not a police officer, however a bail bondswoman who, in keeping with Tickle, chased him for a very long time before he in the end caved in and went on a date along with her: "She pursued me for 6 years until I relented and went out with her. He also remembered "a particular solo dance for me when I used to be going to do the garter thing."
As for Carol, her role as a bail bondswoman was way more active than the title suggests, she wasn't just sitting in an office and processing paperwork, she was actively chasing Tickle and tracked him down when he skipped on his bail. The two made the announcement during a behind the scenes feature as the ebullient bootlegger relayed the tale of their love.
"She hunted me down six years ago. She says she was once hunting another fugitive, however it seemed the one place she was putting any work in was me."
Despite it being a Moonshining-themed wedding, Tickle really didn't have to do much planning and he says all he had to do was simply "display up." Carol had done all of the planning, but was also dealing with another huge stress at the time: the purchase of their first home.
Being a first-time homeowner is a big enough hassle, but balancing that along with a wedding is no small task, but Carol handled it all like a boss.
Obviously, the big question on everyone's minds was how much moon juice was at the reception. The answer: a lot. Which makes sense given the party's guest list.
Tim Smith, Kenny Law, and Tickle's former partner, Howie, had been all present and everybody brought their favorite home-brewed shine so they may get properly lubricated for the evening's festivities.
Sounds like an ideal time and we wish the new couple all the absolute best! You can catch the display on Discovery on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST.
