Groom in Madelaine Brockway’s ‘wedding of the century’ faces 25 years in prison

Instagram / Lake Como Wedding Planner

It was dubbed the “wedding of the century” when viral videos of Madelaine Brockway and Jacob LaGrone’s lavish nuptials began popping up out of nowhere on social media. Now, the groom is facing a possible life sentence for allegedly shooting at three police officers.

LaGrone, 29, and his now-wife Brockway, 27, became influencers overnight following their five-day wedding celebration in Paris, France, last month. A rehearsal dinner at the Paris Opera house, an overnight stay at the Palace of Versailles, and a private Maroon 5 concert at their wedding reception were just some of the elaborate festivities that made up this viral wedding, which some people have estimated cost upwards of $59m.
