He’s the American groom whose ‘wedding of the century’ was catalogued by his wealthy Texan bride in a series of astonishing images that left the internet gasping.
But Jacob LaGrone is facing an altogether different proposition now – the possibility of life in prison after being accused of wielding a firearm at cops, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The former country music ‘talent coordinator’ in his native Nashville married car dealership heiress Madelaine Brockway, 26 in a lavish wedding in France last week that would have made Marie Antionette blush with its extravagance.
Their intensely documented five-day celebration in Paris included an overnight stay at the Palace of Versailles, a rehearsal dinner at the French capital’s Opera House, a private lunch at the Chanel Haute Couture Suite – and pop-rock band Maroon 5 performing at their reception.

A posse of professional photographers snapped their every move, with Madelaine uploading her favorite images to her TikTok account where the photos and videos quickly went viral with hundreds of thousands of views.
Loved-up LaGrone, 29, can be seen beaming with his bride-to-be and lapping up the outrageous magnificence of his marriage this month to the daughter of tycoon Bob Brockway, who runs a group of Mercedes-Benz dealerships in Florida but who lives in Fort Worth, Texas.
However, in March this year the groom posed for a very different kind of photo – his mugshot – after being arrested by police in tony Westworth Village for allegedly confronting three officers with a gun.
According to documents obtained by DailyMail.com, LaGrone was indicted by a grand jury on March 13, on three counts of aggravated assault against a public servant – a first-degree felony.
The punishment in Texas if convicted is either life in prison or a sentence of not more than 99 years or less than five.
The newlywed groom was offered a plea deal for the ‘aggravated assault against a public servant’, with a recommendation of 25 years, according to the documents.
The indictment, no. 1772818, against LaGrone by the State of Texas identifies the three officers involved as C. Munoz of Westworth Village Police and C. Wilson and J. Dunlap, both of Westover Hills Police.
It alleges LaGrone ‘did intentionally and knowingly threaten imminent bodily injury’ to the officers and ‘did use or exhibit a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault, namely, a firearm’.
The indictment doesn’t say where the alleged incident happened, only that the officers were ‘lawfully discharging an official duty’ at the time.

Records show LaGrone made $20,000 bond after his arrest, with the condition that he doesn’t touch alcohol or firearms, commit any further offenses, or do illegal drugs, and is required to provide urine samples
At the time of his astonishing wedding, LaGrone was under strict behavioral rules that could have landed him in even more trouble with law enforcement if violated.
He made $20,000 bond after his arrest, with the condition that he doesn’t touch alcohol or firearms, commit any further offenses, or do illegal drugs, and is required to provide urine samples.
LaGrone and his new bride live in a $1.4million four-bedroom home in an exclusive gated community, just outside Fort Worth that was purchased by his then future father-in-law last year.
Bob Brockway and his wife Paula’s main residence is a 7,500 sq ft six-bedroom mansion worth an estimated $2.8million in Fort Worth.
Madelaine also owns has a $1.1million, three-bedroom home in Westworth Village according to property records.
LaGrone’s new father-in-law is chairman and CEO of Ussery Automative Group, which made headlines in August for selling two of its locations for a $150million profit. Paula is vice president of a dealership in affluent Coral Gables, near Miami.
Less is known of LaGrone, however.
The University of Mississippi graduate worked as a talent coordinator for the Country Music Association in Nashville in 2013 and 2014, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He was ‘coordinating’ and ‘providing logistical support for all talent on the main stage during the CMA Festival’.
After that, he worked as an operations assistant for the Ole Miss football team for three years, where he ‘provided daily assistance to the Director of Football Operations and Assistant Athletic Director.’
He then served as country superstar Jason Aldean’s production assistant in 2018. It is unclear what he does for work now.
His own mother is Susan and his father is Jake, who is understood to be an entrepreneur in the software solutions business in Nashville.

Quite how the alleged gunman’s possible future prospects are being viewed by his new in-laws are not publicly known.
But they could not be further from the mind-boggling opulence – and no doubt gigantic bill – that the couple witnessed for their beloved daughter’s happiness.
Madelaine and LaGrone, who started dating in March 2020, flew to Paris in a private jet for the November 18 wedding taking friends and family with them.
The extravaganza started with a party at the Chanel store – where the bride-to-be dressed in a white button-down sweater dress and black heels with a floral embellishment – delighted in treats with those closest to her.
The pampered group got to make their own custom Chanel pouches as they sipped champagne and sampled desserts.
Next day the wedding party headed to the Palace of Versailles, where they were given a private tour. It was there that the last queen of France, Marie Antionette reigned supreme before her execution in 1793 during the French Revolution.
That evening, Madelaine and LaGrone hosted a candlelit dinner for their relatives at the former royal residence, where waiters dressed in period garb.
Madelaine, in another change of clothes, opted for a long, flowing white gown with a haltered neckline.
The couple stayed overnight at the Le Grand Contrôle hotel in the Palace, where rooms start at $2,400 per night but go up to $14,200 depending on the type and size.
On Wednesday, Madelaine and Jacob visited the Eiffel Tower, before embarking on a nighttime boat tour of the city, where they splurged on more fine dining.
And later came a small after-party under the Arc De Triumph, where they snacked on Macaroons and enjoyed some cocktails.
This time, the bride-to-be donned a black and white striped dress with a floral-patterned jacket, and matching heels.
The rehearsal dinner was at the acclaimed Paris Opera House – and the pair had the building completely decked out with thousands of flowers.

According to a video shared by the floral company, it took 25 staff and an entire week of preparation to get the Opera House ready for the party, with vibrant displays festooning the staircase.
Violinists lined the stairs and played as couple entered, Madelaine in a white strapless mini gown and LaGrone in white shirt and white pants with a gray top.
The pair and their guests then dined under Marc Chagall’s famous painted ceiling in the Garnier.
Madelaine sported a white strapless mini gown that was covered in fake flowers for the evening.
While the price of holding an event at the Paris Opera House is not listed on its website, an event company has estimated it costs at least $325,000.
According to wedding organizer Lake Como Weddings, the ceremony took place at magnificent Chateau de Villette, 40 miles from the center of Paris – calling it a ‘celebration of unparalleled excellence’
![Madelaine documented the entire thing and shared it to her TikTok account, where the videos went viral, leaving many people wondering: Who exactly are Madelaine and Jacob and how were they manage to pull off what's now been hailed as the most glamorous nuptials in the last 100 years?](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/11/29/18/78066915-12800197-Madelaine_documented_the_entire_thing_and_shared_it_to_her_TikTo-a-12_1701281292238.jpg)

For her nuptials, Madelaine wore a chic, white, off-the-shoulder wedding dress with a long train.
LaGrone appears to have been wearing a long back tailcoat and white winged-collar shirt.
And for the reception afterwards, the couple celebrated in a room that had white and green flowers hanging from the ceiling, a live orchestra, and intricate lights that spelled out their initials.
Maroon 5 took the stage later in the evening, performing for the couple as they enjoyed their first dance together.
It’s fair to say Madelaine’s bachelor party wasn’t low key either.
She hosted a four-night stay at a celebrity-loved five-star resort in Utah with her closest friends last month. Each day had a different theme.
The first was ‘pretty in pink’ and saw the ladies all decked out in Barbie-looking outfits as they partied by a pool.
Next day there was an extraterrestrial theme and the final event gave a was a taste of the wedding to come – with a Marie Antionette-themed party where Madelaine dressed as the doomed monarch in an elaborate white gown with bows.
The bachelorette bash was at the Amangiri hotel, which has hosted Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Miley Cyrus, Hailey and Justin Bieber, Emily Ratajkowski, Ariana Grande, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie since it opened in 2009.
It sits on 600 acres in the heart of the Utah desert and offers breathtaking views, supreme privacy and lavish amenities like a 25,000-square-foot spa with steam room, sauna, plunge pool and yoga studio.

The hotel has 34 suites, starting at $3,200 and going to $6,600, as well as a separate four-bedroom private home, which doesn’t list its price on the website.
The bride managed to go viral again just days after the wedding after her exorbitant registry demands – from a $12,500 butterfly house to a $5,600 vase – were revealed.
Reaction to Madelaine’s photos and videos was instant.
‘I am just sitting in my car right now with my jaw on the floor. The most stunning wedding in the world is happening right now,’ event planner Lauren Zigman, posted in a video after coming across Madelaine’s posts.
‘Sofia Richie’s was the ‘it girl’ wedding of 2023? No, this one is. Madelaine Brockway’s wedding is it.
‘Not many people even know who she is. I still don’t know who she is.’
That’s not the case now after her DailyMail.com revealed details of the nuptials and background on Miami-born Madelaine.
She attended the elite All Saints’ Episcopal School, Fort Worth, before she headed to Texas Christian University for college.
We also disclosed that for years her Instagram feed has consisted of pictures and videos that show her dressing in designer outfits, dining in top restaurants, embarking on yacht rides, attending elite fashion shows and events, and jetting around the world.
She’s a frequent visitor to France, but she’s also traveled to Lake Cuomo in Italy, Belgium and Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
She’s often in the audience at F1 races thanks to her parents’ connection to Mercedes Benz and landed invites to a slew of Paris Fashion Week shows for big brands like Valentino and Dior last year.
