Just weeks ago, Madelaine Brockway and Jacob LaGrone’s lavish nuptials were deemed the “wedding of the century” – with a rehearsal dinner at the Paris Opera house, an overnight stay at the Palace of Versailles, and a private Maroon 5 concert at the reception. Now, the groom is facing a 25-year prison sentence on charges of aggravated assault for allegedly shooting at three police officers.
It all began on 18 November, when LaGrone, 29, and Brockway, 27, tied the knot at the Chateau de Villette, a 185-acre estate outside Paris. While the elaborate wedding venue – decked out in white flowers, cascading fountains, and a drone show displaying the interlocking letters “M” and “J” – was impressive in itself, it was the five-day celebration leading up to the nuptials that caught everyone’s attention on the internet.
