Surrounded by close family and friends, the couple reaffirmed their commitment to one another in a beautiful, private ceremony that truly reflected their deep bond. The breathtaking scenery, coupled with the warmth of their love, made for an unforgettable celebration.
The love birds opted for a destination wedding to create a more intimate and personal experience, avoiding the traditional large-scale celebration. They felt that a grand wedding in Charleston with 300 guests wasn’t in line with their style. Instead, they chose to keep things small and meaningful, emphasizing quality over quantity. Madison revealed exclusively to People Magazine that, had it not been for her son, she would have opted to elope.
The lovey-dovey couple selected Riviera Maya as their wedding destination because it held special significance to them – they had visited the area together before and knew their guests would love it just as much. With no bridesmaids or groomsmen, they focused on celebrating with their closest loved ones, ensuring the event remained intimate and unforgettable.

The textured gown featured a sweetheart neckline, cap sleeves, a fitted bodice, and a full skirt, creating a timelessly elegant silhouette. She complemented the dress with a bouquet of white peonies, a long tulle veil, and simple Nicole Rose pearl earrings.

She also shares with People’s magazine that in her search for the perfect dress, LeCroy visited Bergdorf Goodman in New York City, where she tried on countless gowns. While she loved many of the dresses, none felt like the one until she tried on the Reem Acra piece. After initially leaving the store uncertain, she couldn’t stop thinking about the dress and realized nothing else compared. Trusting her instincts, she flew back to New York to make it hers, a decision that taught her an important lesson about listening to her gut—advice she would offer to any bride. When something feels right, you’ll know, just as she knew with Brett.🥰

She felt it was essential for her to look and feel luxurious, beautiful, and confident, embodying the essence of how a bride should feel on her big day.
