Talk about making a grand entrance.
Just weeks ago, Madelaine Brockway was an internet nobody — now, the 26-year-old American bride is soaring to nuptial notoriety as videos of her posh Parisian wedding leave TikTokers around the world enthralled.
Brockway, who exchanged “I dos” with now-husband Jacob LaGrone earlier this month, chose to share the lavish festivities on social media, scoring hundreds of thousands of views from enthusiastic users, who fawned over the blushing bride’s over-the-top bachelorette party, her lodgings at the Palace of Versailles and the private Maroon 5 performance which accompanied the newlyweds’ first dance.
Some observers likened her wedding to that of socialite Sofia Richie, 25, who tied the knot last spring in the south of France with Elliot Grainge, 30. The couple’s splashy nuptials at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes were the talk of the town — that is, until Brockway came along.
“Sofia Richie’s was the ‘it girl’ wedding of 2023? No, this one is,” declared event planner Lauren Zigman on TikTok. “Madelaine Brockway’s wedding is it.”
She rang in her wedding festivities with a girls’ trip to the exclusive Amangiri resort in the Utah desert, with each night featuring dress and décor matched to a different theme, and everything captured by a hired videographer.
The first night of her “dream bachelorette” was titled “Pretty in Pink,” featuring a rosy poolside dinner; the next was “Aliens Among Us,” observed with green décor and funky wigs; and night three was “Golden Hour.” But last, and certainly not least, was a Marie Antoinette-themed night four, complete with cinched waists, petticoats and powdered wigs, as well as a spooky twist in the form of skull décor.
Upon arriving in Paris five days ahead of the big day, Brockway and her entourage convened at the Chanel Haute Couture Salon on the Rue Cambon, followed by a stay at Versailles. There, she was met with bottles of Dom Pérignon on ice and a glam squad before sitting down to a catered, candlelit dinner.
Three days before saying “I do,” Brockway headed to the Eiffel Tower in a bedazzled white suit and matching fur coat for lunch and a photoshoot, followed by a dinner on a boat in front of the historic landmark.
While she has not yet posted content from the rehearsal dinner, ceremony or reception, her loved ones shared footage of the spectacle online.
TikTok user Savannah Hall scored 1.4 million views on her video montage of the LaGrone nuptials, sharing snippets of the couple’s rehearsal dinner inside the Paris Opera House, which included a string quartet performing on the garnished, grand staircase and an opulent dining experience underneath brilliant paintings.
On the big day, the pair tied the knot in a ritzy outdoor ceremony and celebrated their love in a reception featuring Maroon 5, who performed during the newlyweds’ first dance as a married couple, followed by a private concert.
“When I say I am obsessed and it is the most perfect wedding of all time, I am not exaggerating,” one stranger gushed over the happy couple’s extravagant union.
“I highly recommend going to follow Madelaine Brockway — she will be your new obsession and she is mine.”
Despite being dubbed the “wedding of the century,” most viewers didn’t even know who Brockway was prior to her viral matrimony.
“Who are you? This is stunning. Glad the algorithm brought this to me! Congrats gorgeous,” one fan wrote on TikTok.
“Girl who are you,” another commented. “I’m obsessed with this entire wedding journey.”
“WHO ARE YOU I’m in love,” gushed one person.
While the bride lists herself as an self-employed “entrepreneur” on LinkedIn, her father is Robert “Bob” Brockway, a South Florida businessman.
Now, young Madelaine caught the attention of TikTokers everywhere with her grandiose big day — and not to mention her wedding registry, with items ranging from $12,500 William Yeoward crystal butterfly house to a $345 Herend bunny figurine.
