Ep 1. Krista and Redmond

In the first episode of My Great Big Live Wedding With David Tutera, we meet Krista and Redmond, a couple who have been together for six years and are ready to tie the knot in a big way. Krista is a nurse and Redmond is a firefighter, and they both have big families who are excited to celebrate their special day.

However, planning a wedding can be overwhelming, especially when you want it to be a live televised event with millions of viewers. That's where celebrity event planner David Tutera comes in. David is known for his extravagant and luxurious weddings, and he's ready to help Krista and Redmond create their dream wedding.

The episode begins with David meeting the couple and getting to know their personalities and vision for their wedding day. Krista and Redmond are hoping for a rustic, outdoor wedding that incorporates their love for hunting and fishing. David is excited to take on the challenge and start planning.

The couple's families are also involved in the planning process, which can sometimes lead to disagreements and tension. Krista's mother is opinionated and wants to have a big role in the planning, while Redmond's parents are more laid-back and just want the couple to be happy. David tries to navigate these dynamics and make sure everyone is included in the process.

One of the biggest challenges for David is finding the perfect venue. Krista and Redmond want a location that allows them to hunt and fish, but also has a beautiful outdoor space for the ceremony and reception. David takes the couple on a tour of several venues, but none of them seem to fit their vision.

Another obstacle that arises is the budget. Krista and Redmond have a limited amount of money to spend on their wedding, and David must find ways to create an amazing event without breaking the bank. He suggests incorporating DIY elements and using natural elements from the outdoors to save money.

As the wedding day approaches, tensions run high. There are last-minute changes to the venue, misunderstandings with vendors, and unexpected weather. However, with David's help, everything comes together in the end and Krista and Redmond have a beautiful outdoor wedding that truly represents their love for each other.

Throughout the episode, we get to know Krista and Redmond and root for their love story. We also see David's expertise and talent as he creates a one-of-a-kind wedding experience. By the end of the episode, we're left feeling inspired and excited for the rest of the season.
