I stood in this guy's wedding.

Guy comes out for the rehearsal and says Tkachuk slightly differently than the guy prefers, but no one really corrects him because he's old and seems kind of deaf. He's consistent though and close, so everyone is happy enough.
The day of the wedding the dude shows up pretty rosy cheeked. He said Tkachuk about 100 times and used every single different pronounciation. He did not pronounce it the same way twice. Swung wildly from Tah-chook to ta-ka-chuck to some that sounded more like sneezes... It was hilarious because it was not my wedding.

Ta-ka-chuck is my new favourite.
